Help out a struggling intersex girl?
The NHS will prescribe utrogestan to perisex women for reasons caused by low progesterone such as fatique, night sweats, suicidal ideation increase, and more. Yet, when this comes to intersex women, they refuse to offer the same prescription on the NHS forcing the intersex woman to go private, even when it is medically necessary for the intersex woman. - it's a discriminatory practise.
So... help an intersex girl out so she CAN get necessary medication privately?
Hey guys, the NHS is continuing to not give her the medicine she needs to not be in constant pain. And generally toss her around between uncaring clinics that refuse to acknowledge her issues in the first place. She's literally diagnosed with an intersex condition? GPs refuse to acknowledge it because the place she got the diagnosis from 'wasn't directly NHS'. She tries to get her medicine from them? They send her to the gender clinics, who don't prescribe what she needs. I've been there for her GP visits, they will literally lie to your face about what they can and can't do, even when you have the laws right fucking there in front of them.
could we get some help? please? If you're tagged in this, i'm sorry for the annoyance, i'm grabbing at every popular blog or frequent mutual aid reblogger i can in hopes that some help will follow.

i write this haiku in hopes that haikubot will notice and help us please. i'm so tired of watching them treat her like her life doesn't matter.
UPDATE
I have been kicked off of my clinic with no option of transfer to another clinic offered properly, and am no closer to my utrogestan.
I was kicked off because of seeking to prove to the system that these clinics are under that they need to examine each case properly, rather than as cookie cutter "all intersex people we labelled wrong are trans" methods.
I was kicked off entirely for trying to obtain utrogestan through ways that other intersex people and perisex cis people have managed to obtain them. Now I am unable to work towards my other goals regarding correcting a doctor's stupid mistake and forced incorrect surgery on me as an infant.
The UK does not care for intersex people. We need that to change. I'm back at square 0 with nothing towards utrogestan and no longer being under a clinic.
