So, this is where I am at the moment.
My therapist has agreed to help me start HRT, but we don't have any experienced endos in the area. I went to a gynecologist (after two weeks waiting) who's a friend of mine from Uni (I'm a med student) and came out to her. Though she said she has no experience with HRT, she knows someone who lives here in my city who has changed gender, and is her patient.
She believes that person had her surgery here. So, she told me she will get in touch with her and find out who helped her out with HRT and send me that way. If I have to travel to another city, she has agreed to speak with the doctor I go to, to receive any necessary orientations so I can do screening exams here and only have to travel every now and then.
Phew, just STARTING hrt is a lot of work!

Seek and Ye Shall Find. There will be a doctor out there that will take you on.
And when it begins welcome to the roller coaster.
