Over the next few weeks we’re sharing some of our findings from each section of our Scottish Trans and Non-binary Experiences Disabled People’s Spotlight Report. You can read it here:https://www.scottishtrans.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Scottish_Trans_and_Non-Binary_Experiences_Disabled_Peoples_Spotlight_Report.pdf
This week we’re focusing on GP practices (p.18-22)
Disabled trans and non-binary people generally rated the care thy experienced as worse than non-disabled trans and non-binary people, and much worse than the general population.
We also found that GPs often dismissed disabled people’s gender identity because of their disability, and likewise would often deny disabled people access to specialist health services because of misunderstandings about the care provided by gender identity clinics.
This poor treatment often made people less likely to seek the care that they needed from their GP, potentially exacerbating some of their health problems.
