I think they want to know how committed you are because the effects of HRT are not reversible. Don't sweat wearing dresses. I hate them to! My last visit to the endo she had a Dartmouth med student in there with us. She figures its good to educate them on trans issues, Which I don't mind, I do it just about every time I go. But I basically tell them to ask any questions they want. Well one was so do you wear dresses? I told him no, because dresses are not my style, they are useless in functionality, and the dress certainly does not make the woman.
my style is casual, and if I have to dress up I wear a nice pair of pants a sweater or blouse with my dansko clogs(which I love!). You may want to look into getting a Pair of Dansko's they are basicly gender neutral...not to mention comfy. ;)

My answer to that is that the effects of not having HRT are ALSO not reversible.
I think these people just like to play god and think they're better than you because they're a doctor. I'm just getting fed up with people like this who think they know you better than you know yourself and that you should have to prove yourself to them.
Life is short... it's really really REALLY short, way too short to let people like this walk all over you keeping you from doing what you need to do to live.
