Do I need a diagnosis to join GenderGP?
No. At GenderGP, we don't "diagnose", as we feel it's disrespectful to your identity. You are the expert in your gender experience, and being trans isn't a medical condition.
However, we understand that due to the institutional circumstances many people live in today, you might require a formal diagnosis for whatever reason. As such, we can provide you with a diagnosis of Gender Incongruence upon request.
