So. The policy with the gender service is 2 missed appointments and you get discharged. I understand this. so, I missed the first one cause I was in America. I missed the second one cause it was my first day at university. I then missed the 3rd one cause I was told the wrong time.
I physically went to the clinic for the 3rd one and was told I was 2 hours late, something I wasn't aware of, so I was told I would have another appointment booked in. Well. 2 weeks of waiting later I got a discharge letter. I went to my GP to get another referral and haven't heard back since. I have been in gender services now since I was 14, I am now 18, and I'm literally nowhere closer to where I want to be, is anything in 5 steps back cause I'm not even in the service. It upsets me every day and I don't even know what to do any more. My goal at 15 was to get on hormones by the time I finished my A levels, now it feels like I won't be even in a service till I finish university and beyond.
