Would you say I'm atypical Gender Dysphoric?

At least in a few states in the US we have a handful of informed consent endocrinologists. For some people a therapist is a great idea, but for me it's a massive waste of time and money.

I think the informed consent model is good. The only concern from a government perspective I think is you effectively providing the ability for an individual to write their own script.

I have found therapy to be very useful, psychologist has been great, psychiatrist just seems to be a really expensive person holding a series of hoops for me to jump through. A bit like a well paid circus performer really lol.

I think if money was tight, unfortunately therapy is the thing that would go. A bit like when ones budget is tight, insurance is often the one on the chopping block. We don't need it until it's too late

I totally agree with Alice,  I loved playing with Hotwheels as a kid, never once played with a doll.  Nothing wrong with enjoying a few predominately male hobbies.

It is a shame the trans community isn't large enough for there to be many of us in the therapy/phsychiatry job ourselves, I suspect having a therapist who understands what you are going through would help!

I liked transformers and WWF, that doesn't make me male, it makes me me!
