Nell @BarnsleyGEF your story is powerful in so many ways, not least because it gives so much insight into the experience of living as your true gender as a transgender person. Should be on the reading list for all GPs /....
Privileged to have travelled some your path with you 💜 https://t.co/2KV790uNNu

Being female can be difficult. Being female & moving into a new job, with a little excess weight & being over a certain age – is almost impossible in an environment where youth is key!
