    Do you need to get a referral from a doctor to see a gender therapist?

    I don't think so, I never had to at least but I don't know about Canada. I think you can just call a gender therapist and make an appointment, like any other therapist. If there's some kind of transgender institute near you I would recommend that because you don't have to find your own endocrinologist and struggle with therapists.
