“What is it like when you get erections?” is a question you do not want to hear in a 9am meeting. You would expect at least a little weekend catch-up before getting into all that.
This piece of small talk comes from a consultant psychiatrist of the National Gender Service (NGS). Activist group Transgress the NGS released a video featuring this question last week taken during a regular assessment at the NGS.
