“Unfortunately, the practice has had to take the decision to cease our prescribing and monitoring of hormonal medication in adult transgender patients. This is not a decision we have taken lightly but due to the closure of NHS centres including the Tavistock, we feel we are not in a position to provide this additional service. This is because of a lack of support and the work being outside of our expertise. The changes will occur from 1st April 2025. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this will cause patients and advise that you contact your specialist care provider to seek alternative arrangements.”

"Demanding more data on subjects that we already know much about is, in my estimation, a perversion of knowledge. The datafication of injustice...in which the hunt for more and more data is a barrier to acting on what we already know. We need something like an academic equivalent of "I said what I said!" - the catchphrase of reality TV star NeNe Leakes- for those who insist on digging deeper and deeper into the genome for scientific solutions to social problems."
