Abstract
In 2020, Mermaids and De Montfort University launched a survey to find out more about the experiences of children, young people and their families when visiting the GP for support relating to gender identity.
Over 200 people responded to the survey, illustrating the vast differences in the support experienced when accessing gender identity support in primary care. What struck us about our findings was that many felt as though the quality of support they received was a result of how lucky or fortunate they were. In essence, finding out what quality of support you would receive feels a lot like entering a lottery.
