The term Cis woman

Let’s get this straight I do not like the term “cis women. This is not because I’m some hateful, spiteful trans person, I’m not. I just think it’s wrong to label women as anything other than, women. As a transgender person, who is transitioning from male to female one of the things that is making …

Yet again I feel let down by my GP as despite using a private clinic to prescribe my drugs I still have to rely on the NHS to do my blood tests as after two years they deemed me important enough to agree to do my blood test to monitor my hormone levels. Well this …
