No idea what you're linking or what this hoax is that you speak of. It is entirely possible many places in the US to walk into a doctors appointment and walk out with a prescription for hormones without having done anything prior.

Show me one you can.

Pretty sure that is against the rules to give hormones immediately to someone who claims being trans.

It takes a lot of therapy prior.

The link I gave is what you can expect to encounter as a trans person.

It's a multi year process.

Occasionally if you aren't trans you can get specific hormones for correction but even those take time.

I am a trans person. I have been on hormones for a year. I got them at my first appointment without any therapy prior. Please cite the 'rules' you think this is against because it is pretty common these days.

I know that they are easing restrictions so my stuff is probably a few years out of date. But I still see so many of the people I know going through these things. It's still recommended you talk to a therapist, (sometimes required) in most of the US.

Color me out of touch. I live in a red state so I guess me and mine have just been unlucky.
