Acquiring Professional Help
Riley, fighting alone in such a world, did the only thing he could: he sought out professional help. His visits to the offices resulted in recommendations for a physician who did not contest his diagnosis of gender dysphoria.
As part of the Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne & Wear NHS Foundation Trust, the doctor directed him to the Northern Region Gender Dysphoria Service. Riley’s issues would start to develop a life of their own at that point.
