Dr Barton's dismissive transgender healthcare talk

I was directed to Harrogate by my GP to obtain a Testosterone prescription as a trans man who had been self-medicating. Despite receiving a letter recommending prescription, they subsequently rejected it, prompting me to schedule an appointment to understand their reasoning. During my consultation with Dr Barton, he consistently interrupted me while I explained my needs. He repeatedly used dismissive phrases like "it's for your safety" and "I could lose my job," particularly when I described the potential negative mental health consequences. His most patronizing comment was comparing my situation to "treating someone with cancer and asking what treatment they want," effectively undermining my agency and understanding of my own healthcare needs.
