I’ve had good luck using
www.alldaychemist.com to buy estrogen. It’s much cheaper ($4/month) though if you have a prescription. Just make sure it’s estrodiol and not Premarin or other non bioidentical.

I have concerns that the medical establishment I visit will react negatively if I come out as trans. They refused to even consider castration when I asked for it. They don't understand. Even if I had a therapist write a letter I suspect they would be concerned about what the insurance would think (Which is why they have not put me on low dose E yet).
It's a sad state in this country.

Here is an interesting idea: can a cis man suffer from gender dysphoria?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_dysphoria
I have always thought that gender dysphoria is the strongest sign of a trans gender identity (binary and nonbinary), but if someone identifies as a cis man and their conception of their cis man gender identity is different to that commonly held by other cis men and their gender identity assigned at birth, then surely that meets the criteria of a mismatch? Gender dysphoria is (DSM-5) is important as a descriptive tool because it is often used for service gatekeeping.
A related issue are trans people who feel a strong desire to transition, including those who do transition, without reporting any gender dysphoria. I think this is another example where providers can put different labels on things without requiring people to adopt particular labels for themselves.
So, in a nutshell, you may gender dysphoria even though you identify as a cis man.
Interesting point of view - thanks. Whatever my gender, I haven't felt any different about it since ditching T. I just feel way better, more connective with others and the parts of me that I always liked the best and are now so dominant and constitute what I now see as my true self.
