An FtM, as was the terminology then, was threatened with exclusion for not being willing to have their vulva palpated! Personal clinician interest rather then 'patient' interest dominated. They wanted to find alternate diagnosis to GD so to be able to discharge

Their preferred alternative diagnoses then were MH or intersex conditions. If they labelled you with either you'd be discharged. They also wanted us to wear skirts or dresses to show that we were 'serious'. I had FFS much to their 'dismay' before doing either. Gatekeeping but much quicker than now
