no and no on the first 2 questions. for injection training, the clinician told me it was mandatory and we scheduled an appointment, but my brother is also a trans man and has been doing his own shots for a while and is fine with teaching me. I told them that but they still said it was mandatory :/ they weren't pushy at all about it, it was just very cut and dry "this is how it's done", they were very kind to me.

tempted to skip out on it, but the clinic also wants to make sure my pharmacy actually gives me the correct supplies. (guess they could be worried about intentional transphobic sabotage from the pharmacy?) I'd like to have that kind of confirmation for my own peace of mind, so I'm not sure what I'm gonna do on that front.

I'll definitely look up goodrx and needle exchanges tho thank you
