PODCAST – The Gender Clinic Files (Part 2)

This week, before jumping into our main event, our Flintless duo of Ashleigh and Alyx take in the scenery of:

Two new things from our immortal archenemies, the EHRC.
A trans woman sent to a men’s prison, but sadly we’re talking about the UK this time.
Bashing Back in Brighton.

Before moving on to the meat of the episode, which we’ve developed alongside https://www.wearequeeraf.com/ and Claire Prosho (https://linktr.ee/CTransTalks) to bring you some more information from inside the UK’s gender identity clinic system, including:

Last time we spoke of first appointments, but we look at how waiting for a second appointment can be almost as tortuous as the first and the length of the treatment pathway itself can take several years of a person’s life, just to receive appropriate treatment.
How the 18-25 year olds in the system are now hanging in the balance, depending on what the Levy Review’s conclusions are and how they are put into practise.
Data standards and how different models of data collection can make collation and looking for trends all the more difficult.
Soon you, too, will be able to access all of this data. Would you like more information about this? Then please listen to the episode.
