  • Status is not correct "Hormone therapy is required"
  • Status is not correct "Effectively a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria is necessary to change one’s gender marker. As to change one’s gender an opinion of a gender therapist, psychiatrist and endocrinologist is necessary. This process is in line with access to HRT, which requires a months long evaluations from both a gender therapist and psychiatrist, and only then can one be directed to an endocrinologist to receive a prescription. This, I believe a more accurate status would be legal, but requires medical diagnosis. As that is the effective state of affairs."
