A study found that trans and non-binary individuals in the UK encounter multiple healthcare challenges, with only 32 percent rating their GP's gender-affirming care as satisfactory. Nearly a third reported losing access to prior NHS records after changing their gender marker. Many faced misgendering in communications and disruptions in prescription services, impacting their health. Over 21 percent experienced denial of procedures based on their sex assigned at birth, and a significant portion reported negative experiences at GP surgeries. These factors contribute to physical health impacts for trans and non-binary patients.
The report showed that less than a third of trans and non-binary individuals rated gender-affirming care from their GP as good or very good, highlighting significant gaps in quality.
Trans and non-binary individuals experienced numerous challenges, including loss of access to previous NHS records, misgendering, and prescription disruptions, which contribute to their healthcare hurdles.
