As he notes, the SOC8 is the new guideline for surgeons who are performing gender surgeries around the world. Transgender people are able to achieve surgeries outside of the US and other areas where people like us have been obtaining surgery to make our bodies right. It's just now, there's the SOC8, which is the guidelines produced by WPATH that most surgeons around the world follow when agreeing to perform these surgeries. SOC8 tells them they should be paying attention and offering care to people like us as they do for people making a binary gender transition.
So if you're navigating your health system and it is providing care to people making a binary gender transition and not for someone like you, you need to point to the SOC8 so they can see there are other options aside from male and female. I would think there's a case to be made for gender discrimination if they refuse to assist you whilst helping binary transition patients, something which I'd think would go against EU regulation, as I understand EU regulations are very strict about discrimination related to gender.
