have you tried online doctors

What you did not mention was something very important. You did not tell us how you are presenting to the doctor. I am going to take a shot in the dark guess and say your going there presenting a guy..............
Can you really expect the doctor to take the female thing seriously when your there as a boy??

Hell I have been for a year now telling people I am trans species and that I am actually a zebra. Strangely not one person believes me and not one person has gotten me any zebra presents either.

My point to you is if I was the doctor with a guy sitting in front of me asking for female hormones I would be suspicious just the same as your doctor is.

Some of the most womanly women I've ever known didn't wear makeup, wore blue jeans & boots, and the gender racks their shirts came from was irrelevant to them.

But they would never speak to another woman the way you just did.

Thus, I beg to differ.

Shawn, are able to travel very far for your counseling and doctor appointments. If I recall, you don't live far from me, and I have the best in the business I go to. PM if you need their names.

Ditto that Nikko.. everyone's situation is different... my therapist warned me to take it slow.. I may not present female until after two years and FFS....and that is my plan.    In fact there are different degrees to which we can transition.  I may just choose to be a tom boy most the time and doll up when I want..
All depends on how I feel after HRT for a couple years and FFS.

I presented as female every time I went to that Doctor, I don't present here in this small town at all,and I am not going to, its just too dangerous. My Therapist here knows why though, she even told me to just be careful. I got to read the letter my previous Doctor said, this has nothing at all to do with wearing or not wearing female considered clothing. Theres no rule really about what is exactly male and female when it comes to what to wear. Clothing doesn't make you who you are.

As someone that lives in a small town and basically had one shot at finding a decent local therapist, I'm going to chime in here. The first time that I saw my therapist, I wore a women's longsleeve top that was just a plain, solid color. Along with a pair of plain women's jeans and women's sneakers. The guy knew damn well that I wasn't presenting as a "man". I don't like skirts, dresses, etc. I think I look stupid in them. Frankly, if any douchebag, elitist transchick told me that I was "presenting as a man" on that or any day, I would tell them to get stuffed. Anyone that would say that to another transchick is a complete and utter prick.
