Do you have to "pass a test" to join GenderGP?

Do you have to "pass a test" to join GenderGP?

We do not "test" our members to see whether they are trans because only they know the answer to that.


Instead, we take our members through our appraisal pathway, where they go through an Information Gathering Session (IGS). This session ensures we have all the information we need about them, to keep them safe. It also ensures that they understand what they're doing and that they have enough information to proceed safely with their desired medications.
