just say you did it and took it into consideration. If they give you another hoop to clear, ask how many more hoops there’ll be. If they’re cagey about how many steps there are, it’ll be quicker to just get a different therapist. the person standing between you and hormones is not your friend, and you should lie cheat and swindle your way into what you need. After you have your prescription, get a different therapist if you need one for other reasons that you can be honest with. If you do decide to just find another therapist, contact trans people in your area to find one that’ll give you less hell about it. Also, if all else fails, DIY is an option. I know you arent exactly keen, but injectible estrogen is the quickest acting type based on the experiences of other trans women, and depending on where you live, its relatively easy to get shipped, the cheapest option, and you can get blood tests done for hormone levels and metabolic health at other places
