I, on the other hand, unsurprisingly, take a slightly more militant view than Pamela. I reject the notion that therapy should be a must in the process - I view it as simply a hormone imbalance.

If an XX, female-identified person had an abundance of testosterone, and a lack of estrogens, they would develop more masculinized - and would not have to seek therapy to convince a doctor to help them manage their hormones to the level they want. It's almost just a cosmetic point. Why, then, should my almost-just-cosmetic decision to take anti-androgens, with or without female hormones, be subject to oversight by anyone but me?
