What should I do if my new specialist disagrees with GenderGP's recommendations?
It’s important to have an open discussion with your new specialist. You can ask them to explain their concerns and compare their recommendations with those provided by GenderGP.
Be sure to advocate for your own needs and informed decisions. If you feel uncertain or uncomfortable, you always have the right to seek a second opinion or return to a specialist whose approach aligns more closely with your goals.
