Good luck!  Be honest with them and push for a referral even if they are a little reluctant.  I wish I had been more assertive as I'm still not referred and my initial GP appointment was 9th January! x

Well, a more progressive and less costly method for transitioning is pretty high up there (I'm pre-everything at the moment) for coming back to the UK. Laws and society in Japan in regards to transgender are nowhere near what they are in the UK. Plus NHS. Say what you want about its current state, but it has helped me and my family so much over the years I dread to think what would have happened with a private/insurance based health care system.

Except when they talked me out of transitioning. That was a bummer.
