hello, I'm very exited, in about a week i got my appointment to get hrt. I doubt ill get it since at my age i need consent from both parents being in Australia and I'm only out to my mum.

Is there any tips on what i should say to maybe get hrt even though its doubtful ill be able to get it. If this does not work I'm going to do diy hrt probably.

Also if i dont get hrt and i probably wont I'm going to tell the doctor that this is not healthcare, its only restricting me from getting what i need. welp hopefully i get my estrogen.

your replies probably got deleted because you peddle medical misinformation, whether on purpose or not.

It doesn't take advanced knowledge of human biology to note that the legal age of majority is fairly arbitrary and not based on any significant biological change. And while it is 18 in most jurisdictions for most purposes, it is not the same everywhere, again, because it is arbitrary. Any medical advice that uses that as a cut-off should immediately raise massive red flags. The fact that you casually ignore that is already concerning.

Then you say studies show that HRT is contraindicated for minors, which again, is incorrect. Studies show that HRT for trans adolescents reduces risk of depression and suicide:

If you were arguing in good faith you should probably reexamine your understanding of a bunch of things. And maybe use a search engine yourself before telling others to do so.
