Literally nobody just walks up to the pharmacy, asks for hormones, and gets it. Unfortunately the majority cis public have absolutely zero idea about the things they talk about.

Likewise regarding the massive "genital mutilation" rhetoric - less than a fifth of all trans women have pursued SRS, it's very much not a requirement to being trans, and when I had my appointment at the gender clinic (an appointment that even took a year's long waitlist in the first place) they informed me bottom surgery even requires 2 years of living as your gender (Canada). To be even more accurate, any "pressure| towards SRS comes largely from cis society that mocks and invalidates trans women who do not receive it with rhetoric surrounding "post-op" vs "pre-op".
