EXCERPT:

LIVE ACTION: "Hi, my name's Sophia. I'm just trying to schedule some gender-affirming care. I really just want to be able to get some testosterone to start my journey.”
UNKNOWN FEMALE: "So we just have to start by booking your initial appointment so you can come in to see one of our providers."
UNKNOWN FEMALE: "Are you over 18?”
LIVE ACTION: “No, I'm 16.”
UNKNOWN FEMALE: "You're good to be seen here then, 16 and older.”
LIVE ACTION: “OK, then. You're OK to do it for minors?”
UNKNOWN FEMALE: "Yes. You can legally get hormones under 18.”
UNKNOWN FEMALE: "How old are you?”
LIVE ACTION: “Sixteen. I know my mom has to come in with me and does she have to be in there the whole time? Like, how does that work? Because I don't know if I'm comfortable with that. “
UNKNOWN FEMALE: "At some point in the appointment maybe she doesn't have to be in the examining room with you. “
LIVE ACTION: “You said I could do it virtually?”
UNKNOWN FEMALE: "Yeah, you could do it virtually.”
