complaining about gender clinic again

mid-may: coincidentally finds out that the gender clinic offers [resource] they never informed me or nearly anyone else about, gets help from one of the nurses to order [resource] except she's going to send me more info over email first :)

(late july: my GP can also order [resource] for me and does so, it's different than the one i ordered through gender clinic because i wasn't sure if gender clinic was going to send me the [resource i ordered] or not. GP order goes through immediately)

early august, back from travelling: well i haven't received any emails nor word about [resource] so i'll shoot them a message

mid-august: well i haven't received any replies to my message so i'll call them even though their call times are a scarce two hours every weekday. i'm told they'll call me back over the week

this monday: over a week has passed and i received no call. i will call them again! the lady on the phone says i should contact the regional centre because that's where they send [resource orders] :) and if i don't want to do that i should call [different number that has call times only twice a week]

today: "hello special gender clinic number i really want a follow up about this thing one of your nurses promised but i have been completely unable to get a single word about despite contacting you multiple times"

"oh no!! i see you sent us a message weeks ago and nobody answered it! this isn't supposed to happen!"

"one would think"

(and then she actually emailed me!!!!! yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS TIME IT BETTER GO THROUGH I SWEAR TO GOD.)

#as far as gender clinic fuckups go this is not as horrible and awful as their many other crimes #but it's so deeply annoying and frustrating #no wonder i as a patient had to contact them multiple times to check if they had forgotten about me for half a year #also i wouldnt usually assume the gender of strangers but we know for a fact that gender clinic doesn't hire trans people #and they don't understand the concept of gender noncomformity. so i think this is a safe assumption #they are so deeply incompetent #and i know they're 'under resourced' but maybe they'd have more resources fi they weren't constantly trying to sabotage their own services #all their head doctors talk as if they are a terrible horrible service that shouldn't exist but they are the last bastion #and if they don't have a monopoly then trans people would actually get to transition and we can't have that.#sorry im so angry with them aughehbdasjkdashk dsfjkdas it's fine! im fine. it's fine #the lady on the phone today was actually nice and helpful AND kept her promise. how fucking hard can it be
