Immediately. When I started transition in the late 2000s, my prick psychologist and psychiatrist wouldn't let me get on HRT unless I came out to my entire family and immediately started living life as a woman.

It was sorta fucked up but I made it work. Passed very quickly (about six months on hrt). Always used women's restrooms. And I have never once been harassed in one. Quite privileged and I know it.

Here they still did up until very recently. When I was having the psychologist for HRT, I was told I'd have to do an IRL test. I refused as I didn't want to feel like a freak. I only wanted to do it if I got HRT and could do it a few months in. If I didn't get HRT, I would go DIY, I said.

They caved in pretty quickly after that and dropped it for everyone afterward. The psychologist office was pretty good and chill, it's just that IRL test requirement that rubbed me the wrong way.
