Hormones and Pharmacists

    Transgender females recently lnform me that UK pharmacists are, on the whole, 'Homophobic': embarrasing individuals by returning from the bowels of their dispensary with prepared and dispensed prescriptions for Estradiol Tartrate and Blocker (Finesteride, etc); and making loud statements and questions, in the presence of all and sundry, as to why they are required for a 'male'.

     

    i have bee the subject of transphobia from a specific young cis-female pharmacist on a number of occasions, and feel a  formal complaint should be made to the Pharmaceutical Society. Coments please.
