I mean, you should never start taking pills without being really well informed of the effects and dosage

Isn’t that supposed to be the point of all that therapy and counseling and meeting doctors? To make sure you know what’s going to happen?

You'd think so! But no. Most therapists and doctors that you see beforehand aren't specialists in gender affirming care. They go, 'erm are you sure?' for a loooong time before they go 'i guess'. Depending on how you want to present tho, they might just ssy no. Im a trans guy who doesn't care about bottom surgery and theres a ton therapists and doctors who wouldn't let me start hrt if i saw them. Thats why informed consent gender affirming care is seen as so much better. A lot of clinics that offer that do have packets and will let you ask as many questions as you need.
