Probably apocryphal, but when I defended my PhD I was told just to be confident, like the student writing about the German influence on English Romantics. When asked why he had omitted Goethe, he was reported to have replied, ‘If I had thought Goethe important I would have mentioned him’.

If you think that the current state of trans healthcare in the UK is because of concern or caution, I'd encourage you to think again.
It's not medically informed, it's a reactionary response to transphobic bigotry whipped up into a frenzy over the past few years.
And it costs lives.
