It says that responses from healthcare professionals to older trans people were mixed and that some GPs were even transphobic.

Ironman Mode players may find it useful to make use of this mechanic by having the crocodile catch a plain whirligig, and then only catching the other whirligigs using "stacking". This will cause the flowers to never get depleted, at the cost of not receiving any loot. For this to work, the player must only partially fill the flower baskets, as to have a mixture of whirligig types. If the player accidentally clicks the wrong whirligig, they can avoid spending a flower by logging out before the crocodile returns to the shore.

The report makes five recommendations to improve services including training for health and social care professionals as well as agencies agreeing a benchmark statement on the level of care and support that trans and gender diverse individuals can expect.

Whirligigs are scarab-like aquatic creatures found in Het's Oasis. Six types of whirligigs are caught with the use of a nearby crocodile (Chito or Frito). When caught, they award Hunter experience and a shell of the corresponding type. These shells can be used to make prayer powders and the holy scarab familiar. Each whirligig caught increases a player's scarabs caught reward currency; this currency can be used to unlock upgrades from Dundee's Crocodile Upgrades. Strange rocks can be obtained from hunting whirligigs.

She is now calling for more training for doctors so that they are better able to deal with people who are transitioning, especially older people.

He added: "So, hopefully we're going to have a more local system and a system with shorter waiting times. I think it will also increase awareness of trans issues."

Cat, who worked for British Airways for 45 years, said coming out as trans to her colleagues when she was 58 was the "hardest thing she's ever done".

Dr Christine Dobbs, from the Centre for Innovative Ageing at Swansea University, said that often trans patients had to give their GPs information, rather than the other way around.

"The support I had from my colleagues was incredible. When I got back to work I was called in by my chief pilot, which is always a bit of a worry - he said he'd had a string of first officers in to talk about flying with me since I came back to work.

She said there were particular issues to consider for the ageing trans population such as facial hair growth or hair loss.

With the exception of the plain whirligig, each type of whirligig requires placing a floral bait into a nearby flower basket to lure them to the oasis. These flowers can be gathered from the surrounding environment. The Farming level required to gather the flower matches the Hunter level required to catch the target whirligig.

"Somebody who's transgender and has gone past the ability to either afford or manage that situation is going to be in a care home and perhaps have no hair but they are still them," she said.

"I'd locked them away in a little box in the back of my brain and I would never open this box but something opened it quite late in life - and I realised you only live once."

While the crocodile is catching a whirligig or returning with its shell, the player can click on up to three (or five with the stacking upgrade) additional whirligigs, catching them instantly. This is referred to as "stacking". Only a single flower is consumed when a shell is dropped, so this additional experience is "free".

"I liken it to stepping off a cliff in pitch darkness - and then finding out the cliff is only two inches high," she said.

Captain Cat Burton always knew she wanted to be a pilot after her father took her in a jet fighter when she was just six months old.

Research by The Trans Ageing and Care (Trac) project also says GPs need more training. A new report by the academics in Swansea and Bristol is the first of its kind in Wales.

"Are they going to be treated with dignity if they're going to be sitting there with male pattern baldness but identifying as female? Are they going to have to wear some grotty National Health acrylic wig? The dignity issues are enormous. We have specific needs which most care homes would not appreciate until they've got transgender patients in large numbers."

Cat, now 66, says she worries about what it means for trans people when they age - especially if that means becoming incapable, living in a care home or with dementia.

There might also be issues with trans people with dementia, who might only have strong memories of their younger selves in another gender.

"We also had instances when there was very poor treatment of people who were mis-gendered, dead named using their old name, even front of house being called out to the appointment using the male name and there were lots of sources of prejudice even to the point of behavioural differences so I would say discrimination as well," said Dr Dobbs.

Cat, from the Vale of Glamorgan, said that while she had a generally positive experience with her GP, the wait for services was frustrating.

But, he said they are waiting for a new gender team, based in Cardiff, with teams based in each individual health board, alongside an "enhanced service for general practitioners who wish to prescribe for trans patients who are going through hormonal changes".

"They all said how much easier I was to fly with now! I was a grumpy old so-and-so as a male captain - I used to sit on my side of the aeroplane and basically cut myself off, whereas now it's a case of you can't stop me talking."

Cat said she took four months off work, living permanently as a woman, before realising she could not go back as her "old self".

Cat believes more doctors need to be trained in transgender issues - especially for those over the age of 50 - and that they should be able to prescribe the relevant hormones so people don't have to wait so long to transition.

Dr Nimish Shah, transgender lead for the BMA's General Practitioners Committee Wales, agreed there needed to be more trans awareness training and education for doctors as well as nurses, social care staff and society generally.
