    I want to complain about HRT dosage and endocrinologists. Back when I took E via pills, I had some okay hormone levels going, but on the order of my new endo I switched to gel. I don't understand why, but it just doesn't work properly and I haven't been feeling right for a long while now. The doctor never really cared of course. I swear they're trained to think of "cross-gender" hormones as some rare poison that's the ultima ratio for the strange patients. Anyway, I'll be getting a new one soon and if they also suck, I'll have to look into getting a better one at the next town over. Why does it have to be that difficult?

      I went to Planned Parenthood and it took me one extremely pleasant telehealth meeting to get access to the hormones that same day and they took my crappy insurance even.

      Possibly a state by state thing but my insurance company wanted me to take a course and see multipkr people but PP just wanted a blood test which i had already taken care of.

        Planned parenthood has been really cool for me and everyone I know too- reliably getting a script within a week of a first visit
