My Doctor Emailed Me Back - Trans Writes

In 2022 I made a video about my attempt to get gender-affirming care from the NHS entitled “I Emailed My Doctor 133 Times.” I showed that Britain operates a discriminatory healthcare system in which trans people have to beg permission to transition whilst the same medicine is available to cis people much easier. This results in years-long delays that have contributed to the deaths of multiple patients. I compared my odyssey through the system to the Joseph Heller novel Catch-22.

    I love Abigail’s work and watched her video on this subject at least 3 times, as well as sharing it with others. I highly recommend it as a companion piece to this article: https://youtu.be/v1eWIshUzr8

      It’s one of my favourite video essays -full stop-, and that’s honestly a pretty high bar.

      Great followup too, even if it’s predictably infuriating and bleak.
