The ones who are only involved because CX won't accept referrals otherwise (as compared to at least one other clinic that accepts self-referrals, and others who accept GP referrals), and have massive workloads that are prioritised according to need, so trans patients, who are only being screened for "no obvious signs of mental illness other than GID" (which isn't a mental disorder anyway), rightly get low priorority compared to those currently in danger, or causing danger. The ones who have no training to spot trans conditions, resent their time being wasted, and quite often handled trans people in a harmful and disrespectful manner.

I know people who were lectured at their referral assessment that altering ones sex was a sin for which they would rot in hell, or were told to find Jesus, or were prayed over.

You haven't spotted the main method CX uses to delay, discourage and eliminated referrals?
