Anxiety, it’s suffocating me, Every waking moment besieged, Eyes flutter open, there it looms, A relentless presence, sealing my doom. Anxiety, it’s suffocating me, Lying in bed, trapped in dread, To rise or to stay, the dilemma weighs, A prisoner of my own anxious maze. Anxiety, it’s suffocating me, Mind racing, thoughts in disarray, A …

I first started using Gender GP nearly 4 years ago, but recent service changes have left me thinking “Gender GP, what is going on?” This is because your recent service is absolutely appalling.

Yes, I know I’m transgender and some people might not understand or grasp what’s happened in my life to get me to where I am today. And, let me be brutally honest, I’m not asking or expecting people to accept me or understand my life or who I am anyway! Live and let live is …

They ultimately will never know as they are not transgender people and they know not what hormones and blockers do to bodies …

It’s so nice to work somewhere completely accepting and this past month that’s what’s happened.

I know I haven’t written about my gender journey for quite some time but this is something those wishing to pursue a gender change on their medical records need to be aware of as it might cause you problems and that’s changing your NHS medical number. On the 23rd November my primary care provider, which …

You know what pisses me off when people say, “all the trauma you’ve been through in life, they must have made you stronger”. No. No they didn’t! All that trauma actually did was give me some very weird coping skills, a fucked up sense of humour and a lot of really nasty habits and kinks!

What you see online is only a representation of someone’s life, whether they be good or bad bits and doesn’t represent our daily lives. People look at my online life and say to me, “Oh my god Mikki, you have such a wonderful life”, but what you see online is only a small selection of …

Am I the token gay friend? I want to know as I’m meeting people who I find both emotionally and physically attractive but I always seem to end up as their “trans friend” or “gay friend” Which I guess, kind of makes me the token gay friend! Someone to confide in, someone to tell about …
