What's wrong with the standards of care in your view?

The fact that they hold an almost archaic view of how hormones should be used. I won't bore you with the boring medical stuff, but a lot of what's stated in regards to hormone regimens for both FTM and MTF is just so outdated and wrong.

There's the whole two entirely different doctors you would need to properly diagnose you to get two letters of referrals thing that isn't at ALL classist as hell.

I could go on. Luckily they aren't literal rules so much as guidelines, but the issue arises that they're the ONLY guidelines, and so people get caught up in them, since again, the majority of medical professionals know almost nothing about trans people.

Makes sense. I'm sure if won't be perfectly where you want by then.

Oh, they definitely won't be anywhere close.
