If you're in the UK and you've had anything to do with a Gender Identity Clinic (either as a former patient, a current patient, or on the waiting list), you might consider calling or emailing the clinic(s) to tell them you don't give any consent for your data to be released. This is being suggested in case the UK government tries to weaponise your data against you as an outcome of the Cass Report.
