    @Scrimzox @itsjacksonbbz yes, it is safe. also note that many of these routes still involve seeing specialists, just without the 5 year wait - I went through the private route, and was seen by the same people at the NHS clinic... just years earlier.

      @Scrimzox @itsjacksonbbz I also don't see eventual detransitioning as a worst case scenario (suicide due to lack of access to care is a worse outcome, and does occur).

        @Scrimzox @itsjacksonbbz And I don't see adding additional gatekeeping as a solution to detransitioning - that just sets up an oppositional relationship between the trans person and the healthcare provider which makes it harder to be honest about how you're feeling.
