NHS Sussex has a “gender service.” Of course it does.

About the Sussex Gender Service

The Sussex Gender Service is staffed by an experienced multi-disciplinary team and receives clinical support from the gender identity clinic at Nottingham Centre for Transgender Health. We have care navigators with lived experience that work with people who access our services to provide support and signposting to local organisations. 

The service follows the same service specification from NHS England as other gender service pilots, which is similar to the existing gender identity clinics.

So come on in and let us trash your bodies and lives.

Our values at the Sussex Gender Service

1. Our service strives to be anti-oppressive

We recognise and acknowledge the historical and ongoing harm that the transgender community experiences. We think very carefully about privilege, power and intersectionality and provide training on this to our team. We do all that we can to take a stand against any form of transphobia.

What they don’t do, I’m guessing, is warn their patients about drastic changes to their bodies prompted by belief in magic switchable gender.
