My name's Cleo Madeline from GenderGP, and I'm stepping in for Dr. Helen Weberley for a special new mini series of the GenderGP podcast. Over the next few weeks, we'll hear firsthand accounts through members of the community about journeys they've been on the transitions they've been through and the moments that changed everything.   Cleo Madeleine: Hi everyone. And welcome back to another episode of the GenderGP podcast. I'm Cleo Madeline. My pronouns are she/her and here in the studio with us today is Amy. Hi Amy. Thank you so much for joining us today. Could you just tell us a little bit about who you are and what it is that you do? Amy: Hi, thanks so much for the invite. So my name's Amy, my pronouns are she/her as well, so I'm a bit more ordinary than everyone else. So I work for Royal Mail, so not massively trans focused, I guess, but more down to earth. Cleo Madeleine: I, and I wouldn't say that working for Royal Mail is ordinary at all. I was gonna say, I think that's quite exciting, but obviously as someone who doesn't work for Royal mail, I've got a very romantic view of, of the job. Amy: it's very interesting. Cleo Madeleine: Yeah, exactly. It's important. You must be busy then with Christmas ramping up. Yes. Amy: Very, very busy. Cleo Madeleine: I guess. Yeah. Let's start off by talking about that a bit. So was it something you always wanted to do or something you just sort of fell into? Amy: Um, I fell into it really. I've only ever had two jobs, so obviously the job I have now and before that I just worked in Asda. So bit more run of the mill Cleo Madeleine: Royal mail is definitely more exciting than Asda. Yeah. having worked retail myself. I, I definitely take Royal mail over it. Yeah. So how long have you been doing that now? Amy: Um, so I've been working for Royal Mail for two and a half years now. Oh, Cleo Madeleine: Cool. You must meet a lot of people or I guess the other way around a lot of people must get to meet Amy: You. Yeah. So cuz we have the same round every day, at least I do. So I see the same about 580 houses every day. Cleo Madeleine: Wow. That's really cool. So how do you find meeting so many new people as like a member of the LGBT+ community? Cause it must be quite a lot. Amy: Yes, it is a lot to begin. I don't even know how I did it obviously, because they've seen me because people have seen me every day from when I first start to transition to now, hopefully that's had a positive impact on the way look at trans people cause they can see me and they, they to talk to me every day and they still know that I'm just an old person just doing my job.

And welcome back to the GenderGP podcast. I'm Cleo Madeline. My pronouns are she/her and with me and the studio today is Chloe. Chloe. Tell us a little bit about who you are and what it is that you do. Chloe Rogers: Yeah. Hi everyone. Thanks Cleo for inviting me on the podcast. Really excited to be here. My name is Chloe Rogers. I'm a junior doctor currently working in Hampshire. My pronouns are they, she and I do a lot of work, both in, in my job and outside involving getting people, um, up to speed and educated about trans healthcare and non-binary healthcare in the UK today. Cleo Madeleine: Thank you so much. So on this mini series so far, we've had lots of different healthcare professionals, um, people involved at various stages in the development and of gender affirming care. We've not had any actual doctors yet. So if we start at the beginning, what was it that motivated you to get into the medical profession? Chloe Rogers: So I sort of picked my GCSEs basically, uh, based on the fact that I wanted to do medicine. So quite a long time ago. Um, I think I it's a very cliche answer, but I just really enjoy helping people. Um, and as I sort of got more into, um, my a levels and then my, my first degree, um, I did medical science cuz I, uh, needed an a in chemistry and I got a B. So I went and did medical science, which was the best thing that could have, could have happened cuz I had the chance to meet so many people that I would never have met. Um, including lots of people who sort of helped me find my own way in the LGBTQ community. I didn't come out until I went to uni mainly cuz I didn't know. Um, and through doing that, I found out a lot more about the issues sort of inherent to the healthcare system in the UK and also things that can come up as a result of different healthcare professionals, um, behaving in different ways or different systems, um, working in different ways, in different parts of the country. So yeah, in terms of sort of getting into medicine, it's something that I always wanted to do. And in terms of getting into this particular part of medicine, it's been very informed, um, sort of as I've gone through my university career, uh, from my friends and, and those around me. Cleo Madeleine: Yeah. I guess actually having that lived experience makes a real difference, not just in terms of clarifying what you want to do, but how you want to do it. Chloe Rogers: Yeah, I think so. And I, I think one of the things I found, um, quite strange actually sort of when I started this, I, so yeah, I started off in this community, um, makes it sound like a job doesn't it started out in this community. um, when I, when I was when I was 18, um, and I, I trained in Birmingham, it was amazing.

Hi everybody. And welcome back to the Gender GP podcast. I'm Cleo Madeline and my pronouns are she/her. And with me in the studio today is Ezra. Ezra. Could you just talk to us a bit about who you are and what it is that you do? Ezra: Okay, cool. Hi, I'm Ezra. I'm a non-binary person and I've kind of like identified that way for, at this point, most of my life. So it is like a big part of who. I am, I work at Gender GP as well. I'm a pathway advisor and I work in the new patients division. So I work a lot with kind of like new people coming into the service and helping people like get started on their journey and stuff, which is really rewarding and really cool. Yeah. I've recently qualified as a barber, so I'm kind of currently working on that as well. I've just started working in that a bit more like professionally as well, and yeah, that's also really rewarding and fulfilling. Cleo: Amazing. Fantastic. I've got so many questions just off the back of that. This is an interview with delight, I guess, first of all, working at Gender GP with new patients, there must be reward, but also quite challenging. You know, we, I think run a really important, good, amazing service, but also you in a perfect world, nobody would go for private healthcare. Right? So that you must also find that there are people who come to the service who have had a bad time. Right? Ezra: Absolutely. I mean, it's difficult because it's something I've said since I started said working at the company. And since I started my specific role is I realized very quickly that if the NHS was functioning properly and doing what they were supposed to be doing, that I wouldn't really have a job. And honestly I'd be okay with it because if people were accessing the care that they need in the way that they should be able to, yeah, there'd be no need for Gender GP. And I really, I think everyone at Gender GP can like, would agree when they say like, we'd be okay with that. That's in an ideal world. That's what would happen. Um, but we're not quite in an ideal world. And as such, you know, there is a need for the service that we provide. And a lot of patients that kind of a lot of, uh, forms and stuff that I processed. And a lot of stories that I see are not particularly happy ones. Like people who've tried accessing the NHS or who've kind of been strung along for a few years. And then at the last second been told, actually we're not gonna do anything to help people who kind of feel that they've been looking for help and they...
