[1][2][3] Action for Trans Health operates as a loose federation of "chapters", local grassroots trans advocacy groups linked by "the principles of mutual aid, education, and solidarity".
[6] In September 2017, the group was involved in a counter-protest against an anti-trans group at Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park that sparked controversy after a brief fight broke out between one of the anti-trans demonstrators and one of the counter-protestors.
[7] In May 2021, Dr Harriet Hutchinson – a community organiser with Action for Trans Health Durham (an independent but broadly aligned local chapter) – gave evidence to a meeting of the Women and Equalities Select Committee for the committee's inquiry into Gender Recognition Act 2004 reform.
Hutchinson provided the committee with evidence that trans people were often forced to "conform to stereotypes in order to receive a diagnosis" of gender dysphoria, and called for the NHS Gender Identity Clinic system to be abandoned in favour of an informed consent model.
[8][9] The group maintains a list of trans-friendly GPs in the United Kingdom, crowdsourced from the trans community.
