That’s appalling you should have support that time period of living as the opposite sex not just a tick box exercise
You'd be surprised by just how much of my gender evaluation and subsequent access to testosterone and surgery resembled a mere tick box exercise.

my point isn't that you did anything wrong perse, just that your experience can't be used to set up barriers for others to have the same access. if you tell a doctor about psychological issues, including gender, they can't run a test and tell you no. you met the criteria.
