How to cancel your GenderGP membership and protect your rights in canada
What GenderGP is and why you might want to cancel
GenderGP is an online telemedicine platform that connects you with licensed clinicians to access personalized hormone therapy prescriptions and related clinical support. The service operates on a subscription model, meaning you pay recurring monthly or annual fees to maintain access to prescriptions, member services, and ongoing clinician consultations. If you've decided the service no longer meets your healthcare needs, or if you're facing unexpected billing charges, you have the right to cancel. Yafee helps you cancel correctly and without losing money unnecessarily.
Reasons to consider cancelling
You might consider cancelling if you've found alternative care through a local healthcare provider, your clinician has recommended a different treatment approach, you're experiencing billing issues with currency conversion or recurring charges, or you simply need to pause your treatment plan temporarily. Whatever your reason, Yafee empowers you with transparent, step-by-step guidance to end your subscription without confusion or hidden complications.
Key facts about your subscription
GenderGP charges in US dollars (approximately CAD $40.49 per month for the standard monthly membership), though your actual Canadian dollar amount depends on exchange rates at the time of billing. Your subscription renews automatically each month unless you actively cancel it through their payment system. Stopping future charges requires a formal cancellation request. Refunds depend on your account status and GenderGP's refund policy, which we explore in detail below.

Your consumer rights in canada and what they mean for your cancellation
Canadian consumer protection laws give you specific rights when dealing with subscription services, and these rights apply to GenderGP even though the company operates from the United Kingdom.
What canadian consumer protection laws say about cancellations
Most Canadian provinces, including Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, and others, require businesses to offer a straightforward cancellation method for subscriptions. Under the Consumer Protection Act (or equivalent provincial legislation in your jurisdiction), you have the right to cancel a subscription contract within a reasonable timeframe without penalty. "Reasonable" is typically defined as 10 to 14 days after purchase or when terms become unreasonable. Additionally, if GenderGP fails to honour its cancellation obligations or refuses to stop charging you after a valid cancellation request, you can escalate your complaint to your provincial consumer protection authority.
Your legal position
You are entitled to cancel your GenderGP membership at any time. The company must acknowledge your cancellation request within a reasonable period (typically 5 to 10 business days). If GenderGP continues to charge you after you submit a valid cancellation request, you have grounds to dispute the charges with your credit card issuer or bank. If the company refuses to process your cancellation or ignores your request, you can file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection office. Yafee recommends sending your cancellation notice via registered post or email with read receipt enabled to create a dated, documented record of your request.
How to cancel your GenderGP membership
Cancellation requires you to follow GenderGP's formal process and create a written record of your request.
Step 1: gather your account information
Before you submit your cancellation request, collect the following details from your GenderGP account:
- Your full registered name as it appears on your account
- Your email address associated with the membership
- Your account ID or reference number (if available in your member portal)
- The payment method currently linked to your account
- The date you wish your cancellation to take effect
Step 2: prepare your cancellation notice in writing
Yafee advises you to prepare a formal written cancellation request rather than relying on phone calls or informal messages. Your written notice creates a dated record that protects you if disputes arise later. Include the following details in your cancellation letter or email:
- Your full name and registered email address
- Your account ID or reference number
- A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my GenderGP membership effective [date]"
- The date you are submitting the request
- Your signature (if sending via post) or a formal closing (if sending via email)
- Optionally, a brief reason for cancellation (not required, but helpful for record-keeping)
Step 3: submit your cancellation via registered post with proof of delivery
GenderGP's standard cancellation method requires you to send your written request via registered post (also called certified mail in some regions) to ensure proof of dispatch. This method creates an unbreakable audit trail that protects you if the company later claims it never received your request. Send your cancellation notice to GenderGP's registered address (contact their support team for the current mailing address in your jurisdiction). Use Canada Post's Registered Mail service, which provides:
- A tracking number
- Proof of delivery to the recipient's address
- A receipt showing the exact date of submission
Keep your tracking number and proof of delivery in a secure folder. Yafee recommends taking a photo of the receipt and storing it digitally as well.
Step 4: send a follow-up email for additional documentation
In addition to your registered post letter, send an email copy of your cancellation request to GenderGP's support team. This provides an alternative documented channel and often results in a faster response. Use your registered email address and request a read receipt so you have evidence that GenderGP opened your message. Include all the same details as your posted letter. Keep the email and read receipt in your records.
Step 5: monitor your account for confirmation
After submitting your cancellation request, monitor your GenderGP member portal and your email inbox for a confirmation message from the company. GenderGP typically acknowledges cancellation requests within 5 to 10 business days. The confirmation should include:
- A confirmation date for when your membership will end
- Clarification on whether any refunds or credits apply
- Instructions on how to access any remaining services (if applicable)
- A reference number for your cancellation request
Save this confirmation email immediately.
Step 6: verify that charges have stopped
Wait for your next expected billing date and confirm that GenderGP has not charged your payment method. Check your credit card statement or bank account online. If a charge appears after your cancellation confirmation date, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately and dispute the charge as unauthorized. Yafee recommends checking your statement for at least two billing cycles after your cancellation takes effect to ensure no retroactive or surprise charges occur.
Understanding GenderGP's refund policy and what you can expect
Refunds depend on your specific circumstances and the status of your account at the time of cancellation.
Refunds for monthly subscriptions
If you cancel your monthly membership mid-cycle, GenderGP typically does not issue refunds for the unused portion of the month. Most subscription services, including GenderGP, operate on a "no refund" basis for monthly plans unless the cancellation occurs within the company's stated grace period (typically 14 days from the original purchase date). If you cancel shortly after your monthly renewal, contact GenderGP's support team and request a courtesy refund. While they are not obligated to grant it, many companies will issue a one-time credit if you cancel within 5 to 7 days of the renewal charge.
Refunds for annual consultations and setup fees
GenderGP's setup fees are explicitly non-refundable. Annual testosterone consultations are refundable only if you cancel before the consultation date. Once the consultation has occurred, no refund is available. If you have paid for an upcoming consultation and wish to cancel before that date, include a specific request for a refund of the consultation fee in your cancellation notice.
How to request a refund
If you believe you qualify for a refund under GenderGP's policy or under Canadian consumer protection law, submit a formal refund request in writing. Include:
- Your account ID and the transaction date
- The amount charged and the date of the charge
- A clear explanation of why you believe a refund applies (for example: "I cancelled within 14 days of purchase")
- The refund amount you are requesting
- Your preferred refund method (credit card, bank transfer, or credit balance)
Send this request via email to GenderGP's support address with a read receipt and save the confirmation. Allow 10 to 15 business days for processing. If GenderGP refuses to refund and you believe you have a valid claim under provincial consumer law, escalate to your provincial consumer protection authority.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling is straightforward, but small procedural errors can delay the process or leave you vulnerable. Yafee helps you sidestep these pitfalls.
Not documenting your cancellation request
The single most common mistake is assuming a verbal phone call or informal chat message counts as a cancellation request. GenderGP's formal process requires written documentation. If you call support and speak to a representative who says "I'll cancel that for you," that conversation provides no evidence if the company later claims the cancellation never happened. Always follow up any phone conversation with a written email or posted letter confirming what was discussed.
Cancelling only through the payment system instead of directly with GenderGP
Some subscribers believe they can cancel by simply turning off auto-renewal in their payment method (credit card or PayPal). While this may stop future charges from processing, it does not notify GenderGP that you wish to cancel your membership. The company may later contact you claiming your account is in arrears or attempt to collect past-due balances. Always cancel directly with GenderGP in writing, not just through your payment provider.
Missing the deadline for refund eligibility
GenderGP's refund window is typically 14 days from purchase for monthly subscriptions. If you wait longer than this period to cancel, you forfeit any refund eligibility. If you know you want to cancel, submit your request as soon as possible to maximize your chance of a refund. Track your purchase date and set a reminder on your calendar if you're unsure.
Failing to keep copies of all communications
Save every email, confirmation letter, and postal receipt related to your cancellation. If a dispute arises, you will need to prove that you submitted a valid cancellation request and that GenderGP received it. Create a dedicated folder on your computer or in your email client labeled "GenderGP Cancellation" and store all documents there. Take screenshots of your account portal showing your membership status before and after cancellation.
What happens after your cancellation takes effect
Your membership ends on the date specified in your cancellation confirmation, and several changes occur immediately.
Loss of access to clinical services
Once your cancellation date arrives, you lose access to GenderGP's member portal, clinician consultations, and prescription renewals through the platform. If you have an active prescription, you will need to arrange continued care with a local healthcare provider or transition to another telemedicine service before your access expires. Plan this transition at least 2 to 4 weeks before your cancellation takes effect to avoid treatment gaps.
Stopping automatic renewal charges
Your membership subscription will not renew after the cancellation date. GenderGP will no longer charge your payment method. Verify that no charges appear on your next expected billing date to confirm the cancellation worked correctly.
Retaining your medical records
After cancellation, you may still have access to your medical records through GenderGP for a limited time, or the company may require you to request them in writing. Contact GenderGP's support team and ask for a copy of your medical records, prescription history, and consultation notes before your account access is fully terminated. Request these documents in PDF or printed format and store them securely. Canadian privacy legislation (such as provincial health information protection acts) grants you the right to access and retain your own medical records.
Requesting a transition letter for a new provider
If you are transferring to a new healthcare provider, ask GenderGP to issue a transition letter or clinical summary that you can share with your new clinician. This letter typically includes your current prescriptions, treatment history, and any relevant clinical notes. Request this proactively before your cancellation takes effect.
Comparing cancellation methods and your best route
GenderGP offers limited cancellation channels, but you have options for how to document and expedite your request.
| Cancellation method |
Speed |
Documentation strength |
Recommended |
| Registered post with email follow-up |
5-10 business days |
Strongest (postal receipt + email read receipt) |
Best option |
| Email alone (with read receipt) |
3-7 business days |
Strong (dated email with confirmation) |
Good alternative if mailing takes too long |
| Phone support with follow-up email |
2-5 business days |
Moderate (no proof phone call occurred without email confirmation) |
Use only as a supplement to written methods |
| Payment method cancellation only (no notification to GenderGP) |
Immediate |
Weak (company may claim non-compliance) |
Never use as sole method |
Yafee recommends the registered post method combined with email follow-up. This two-channel approach provides the strongest legal protection and creates redundancy if one channel fails. The slight delay in postal delivery is worth the ironclad documentation you receive.
What to do if GenderGP refuses to cancel or continues charging
In rare cases, a company may ignore a valid cancellation request or claim it never received your notice. You have recourse under Canadian law.
Escalating your complaint to GenderGP
If GenderGP fails to acknowledge or honour your cancellation request within 10 business days, send a second, more formal written notice via registered post. Title this notice "Second Cancellation Request - Urgent" and reference your original request date and tracking number. State that the company has failed to honour your first request and demand cancellation and cessation of all charges within 5 business days. Keep a copy for your records.
Disputing charges with your credit card issuer or bank
If GenderGP continues to charge your payment method after your cancellation confirmation date, contact your credit card issuer or bank immediately and report the charges as unauthorized. Provide the bank with:
- Copies of your cancellation request and GenderGP's confirmation
- Dates of the unauthorized charges
- Evidence that you requested cancellation in writing
Your bank or credit card company can reverse unauthorized charges and launch an investigation on your behalf. This process typically takes 30 to 60 days, and most banks will issue a temporary credit within 10 days while they investigate.
Filing a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority
If GenderGP refuses to cancel or refund after you have exhausted direct communication, file a formal complaint with your provincial consumer protection office. In Ontario, contact Consumer Protection Ontario. In British Columbia, contact the Office of the Registrar of Mortgage Brokers or your provincial consumer protection branch. In Alberta, contact Service Alberta. Provide the office with:
- Copies of all cancellation requests and confirmations
- Postal receipts or email evidence showing GenderGP received your request
- Bank or credit card statements showing unauthorized charges after cancellation
- Any correspondence from GenderGP refusing your cancellation
The provincial authority will investigate and may compel GenderGP to honour your cancellation or issue a refund. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate this escalation process successfully.
Checklist for a successful cancellation
Use this checklist to ensure you complete every step correctly and protect yourself throughout the cancellation process.
- Gather your account ID, registered email, and current payment method details

If you cannot locate contact information, escalate your complaint to the Information Commissioner or consumer protection authority in your province. Yafee recommends saving GenderGP's support contact details and mailing address in your records as soon as you open your account, so you have them readily available if you need to cancel.
Contact address for GenderGP cancellations: Request the current registered address from GenderGP's support team via your member portal. Send your registered post cancellation letter to this address and keep your Canada Post tracking receipt as proof of delivery.
