trans boy Harry Steel had to wait 29 months for an appointment at a Gender Identity Clinic (GIC).Trans boys make up the overwhelming majority of the young people I work with as a therapist.
As these boys start to go through puberty, their dysphoria increases – this means that they see the changes taking place on their own bodies and feel that they are powerless to do anything about it.Often, they struggle to be believed and heard by those around them, which is horrendously painful and dehumanising.
