    much luck to you - the transphobic gatekeeping is a hurdle no matter where you are; I’m in the U.S., so I had to wait 3 months for an appointment with an endrocrinologist, but after that first appt. I was able to get injectable estrogen. However, I required two letters from psychologists and an entire year on HRT before I could get any gender-affirming surgeries, like an orchiectomy. (By comparison, a cis man is allowed to seek an orchiectomy for complaints like pain after a vasectomy, etc. and there is no mandatory wait time imposed, for the same surgery the mandatory wait is only applied to trans people.)
