#Hello
my name is Kamilla. I am a transgender GP and I am very grateful to the NHS for giving me the opportunity to thrive. I will continue working for the NHS and can’t think of anywhere else that will be fulfilling for me
#OurNHSPeople
I gave a teaching session on trans health to GPs in East of England yesterday.I was accused of gaslighting . How can I, a trans GP , POC and an immigrant could possibly manipulate a privileged cisgendered, middle class and white GP.
We did a cervical smear on a trans patient at our surgery. We sent the sample off following the right protocol. NHS cervical screening services then sent us an email that they are not able to inform patient his result cos patient is registered as male!
And, more often than not, there will be a lot more people who will embrace you with love and kindness than who will be against you
"I'm a trans doctor fighting for better LGBTQ health. J.K. Rowling's comments were very hurtful"
Bereavement is a struggle . Sadly the most important person in my life for the past 20 years has died. And painfully I’m not able to pay my last respects to him. He once said to me, ‘And u are a superwoman’. I intend to keep his legacy and continue to thrive
I won Member of the Year RCGP Inspire Award ! Being a trans is hard and for many years I look to others for inspiration. I never dreamt that one day I would win an award for Inspiration. Thank you

Wearing each other’s traditional clothes in multi ethnic Malaysia is something I always think it as ‘muhibbah’. And now it can be considered as ‘cultural appropriation’ and perhaps contribute to an even bigger divide between races
My journey as a trans GP is fraught w bouts of depression,low self esteem and bad coping mechanisms. I’m pleased to say that those days are now over. It would not happen without the support from my family,friends and colleagues

Can all trans people out here on X and trans support organisations make an official complaint to the RCGP.? Tell them trans people don’t feel safe if this conference goes ahead. RCGP has a duty to protect and care for the well being of trans patients

I respect every trans person’s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I’d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans. At the same time, my life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it’s hateful to say so.

Trans people can change their names and gender marker on their passports without a GRC. All that is required is a copy of your deed poll and a supporting letter from your GP or GIC. And changing name and gender marker on deed poll is free

We're pleased to say we have now issued proceedings to tackle the institutional perception that being trans is a sickness to be fixed. Our case raises issues of neglect, of direct discrimination and of clear failures to apply clear law.
@elenistefanou
Thank you for this article, portraying us not just as trans individuals but also as key workers. This narrative puts us in a positive light
There are 20000 people on the waiting list to be seen by a gender specialist in the UK. Hence there is an urgent review how specialist trans health care are provided. The role of GP’s with a special interest working under supervision from GIC is an option
