There are reasons to be in Canada, their draconian approach to trans care is not one of them. My own early transition timeline was 5 months part time > 2 months full time no hormones > 1 month inhibitors only > full HRT scaled over time. The predicate was simply going to my therapist, saying I'm full time and I want hormones. Therapist writes an endocrinologist: 'give her hormones' and done.

I'm half a year in on a twice daily regimen of estradiol, medroxyprogesterone and spironolactone with less than half my previous ambient testerone level and I'm still fully functional. Hormones *can* cause erectile dysfunction, and indeed it's pretty common, but it's not guaranteed.
