Up until now, there has been a disparate and distinct lack of easily accessible information available to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and non-binary community on the practical processes and implications of changing title and gender marker. There have been many reports of misunderstanding and in some cases mistreatment, in the absence of clear guidance on entitlement and expectation; coupled with a widespread lack of knowledge and advice available to staff on the ground in general practice. Luckily, with the colliding of Pride in Practice, Indigo Gender Service, The Institute of General Practice Management and Practice Index worlds, a team of representatives from each have put their heads together, spent time gathering all the available information, experiences and knowledge, and together, Aimee, Luke, Kay, Ali and their colleagues have taken time out to talk us through what is already an invaluable resource; The Gender Identity Toolkit for General Practice.
