#GICS
Bin GICs. 🚮

- the media rants about >1% of population
- other countries have self-ID with no issues
- wait times for GICs are terrible
- scepticism expressed about "women's rights" GC groups

So far, 12 MPs have spoken in support of trans rights.
0 have spoken against or quibbled.

Gics treat us with contempt and always have. We are subhuman to them.
Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors
- 1700 of them
- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals

This is a HUGE breach.
Tidligere i år meldte vi et forskningsprosjekt til redelighetsutvalget ved OUS og UiO.

Nå er forskerne felt for alvorlige brudd på forskningsetiske normer.

There’s a tendency amongst cis allies to think GICs just need more money to get through the wait list & that will resolve trans healthcare. I used to think this too.

GICs are set up to gatekeep transition, to make it as difficult as possible to access a treatment cis people can get from their GPs.

GOLDMAN DESK: “.. The market cap of NVDA (~$4.86 trn) is closing in on the market cap of the entire Industrials S&P500 GICS (~$4.89 trillion), composed of 79 companies.”

And yet still fucking preferable to the GICs

We have heard that the Green Party has passed a motion at conference calling for desegregation of trans healthcare and to end the practice of GICs and to move it to primary care.

And you can definitely see why they voted for it here:

We found an astonishing amount analysing the data.

Waiting times were absolutely shocking.

Wes Streeting using out of date data.

Transfers from GIDS to GICs that are no longer happening.

and more information that really exposed the inefficiencies inside the GICs.

And more.

New definition of cis just dropped.

First time since June 12, 2000 that S&P 500 software & services (GICS 2) is down 20% while #$SPY is positive over a three-month stretch.

Is this the same public health data sharing directive power that the GICs told us about 😰
Our data belongs to all of us. We need to know how the NHS deals with our data. We need the right to say no. No to sneaky data grabs and no to Palantir 👇

Novel way to attempt to reduce the GIC waitlist
December 22, 2025 at 2:08 AM
Oooh HRT’versary 😁 I’m 4 years old, should be 6.5 years but hey GICs 🤦🏼‍♀️

Criticising gics is not anti trans, folks.

Questioning a ‘one size fits all’ model of healthcare is not anti trans.
Some of you folks don't know the difference between "TERF narratives" and someone literally describing their negative encounter with gender clinics that is negative in many of the ways that the rest of our experiences with gender clinics is negative.

Hi Sadik, would you mind explaining how this straightforward reply breaches your social media policy? It’s a good faith question about waiting lists for GICs.

Why have I been waiting 461 weeks and 1 day for an appointment with a GIC?

Why is Labour committed to making that somehow worse?

Just attacking Labour over puberty blockers is really missing the mark tbh. Yes, they've been bad there. However:

- planning to ban us from SSS
- sports ban
- presiding over GPs no longer providing HRT
- No fixing of GICs
- Cabinet full of GCs
- Agreeing with the media against us
- betraying GRR

trans medicine in the UK isnt even underfunded its just that all the funding goes to not giving people medicine. just have informed consent HRT and delegate care to GPs and endocrinologists. you dont need to have GICs *at all*
March 2, 2025 at 12:59 PM
I've seen trans people recount their experiences at GICs today, and holy fuck.

I knew they weren't *great*, but it's much worse than I thought.

I swear, GICs are staffed by disturbed perverts.

He's going to increase funding for cognitive behavioural therapy and close all the GICs.

Problem solved.

Also the opinion of @greenparty.org.uk who unanimously passed a motion at conference for an informed consent system within primary care, calling for closure of GICs and for Primary Care Teams to be given the training and support to prescribe gender affirming treatments such as HRT.
#jointhegreens
“It remains my opinion, based on the data we now have, that the only way to fix the scale of this problem is by adopting a GP-led, informed consent model.”

Trans folks are struggling to access basic healthcare in the UK. We need structural political and medical changes to make care more accessible.

Imagine if the NHS just said to GPs, you have our permission to prescribe HRT to trans people. GICs are there for complex cases and advice, but you're free to do it. If stuff goes wrong, refer to GICs or endos as you do for the cis.

Imagine.

In effect it’s already a detransition service dressed up as GICs.
