I'm sure things will get better with time, but that doesn't change the fact things suck now. GPs don't need to tell you no to be obstinate. Unlike birth control where they have to hand you something, they can conviently 'forget' to file a form, putting you on the run about for weeks, potentially months.
I also don't see why a doctor needs to be involved with this at all. It's not like changing your legal gender is a medical procedure. It's annoying that Labour walked back on self-ID because they wanted to avoid looking too 'lax' on trans people when the Scottish government tried to introduce it.
