Hey Mister,

I get my Testosterone from my Gender Clinic Dr Curtis. However I have to make an appointment which my local GP to see if they will prescibe it as Im currently paying private prices where fingers crossed I might be able to get it on prescribtion so its cheaper!

I sneak into a farmer's field, grab a bull, squeeze the testosterone out of him and shoot it in my butt.

Seriously though, my GP wanted my endo to be responsible for prescribing for a year. Now my GP's comfortable doing it. But I swear, I'm gonna move to the bull-squeezing method soon!

Ummmm...  have you considered that your levels may be a bit high?  I mean, proving your manhood is one thing, Dennis... but uh.. . :P

Frack. Obviously gender clinic is way popular... and much easier.

But I'll be getting it from a GP, however freaking long that takes.

Easier, sure, but there aren't gender clinics in every corner of the planet.

Endocrinologist, baby. They are the best suited not a psychiatrist and a GP can rewrite scripts but isn't ideal for starting or changing treatment. Of course I assume the endo is willing, adaptable and isn't an ass. Most gender programs in my country can get the unwilling, ridged ass stamp but if they work for you, cool. Some cases of HRT are so simple even a GP could do it but they aren't ideal.
Dennis- I agree with Mister, that just ain't normal.

Endocrinologist for me, too.  After my top surgery I'm going to my GP for a meet&greet as a male with the medical guidelines for treating transmen and see if she'll still be my  primary GP.  I hope so as she's a great doc.
