The girl identifies herself as transgender and, to initiate her transition to the other sex, she needs a prescription of male hormones, testosterone. It has not been referred by any doctor, psychologist or therapist.
In this way, it hopes to avoid the long waiting list of public clinics.
In less than three minutes, Sacha describes to the doctor who receives her her tortuous relationship with her body, which she claims to hate from the age of 12. Having been diagnosed with an eating disorder in doubt, Sacha is convinced to be transgender after watching a video of a transgender young man on the Internet. He also realized "that he was not in the right body" after being diagnosed with an eating disorder.
After asking the girl if she had the support of her parents, the doctor goes on: "Do you consider any surgeries in the future?" Sacha doesn't grab it right away: "Surgery... like?" "Mastectomy, remove the chest", says the family doctor, before giving him the coordinates of the Montreal clinic where these operations are carried out.
When injected in the long term, the testosterone she wishes to obtain from the doctor may make a woman infertile. The possibility of a future pregnancy is raised in one question: "I understand that it is a little far away for you, at 14 years of age ... Fertility, is it something you want to keep before you start?", the doctor says. "Uh... no. I always knew I didn't want a child"," replied Sacha. "OK," chained the general practitioner.
After nine minutes of consultation, Sacha gets his prescription: 30 mg testosterone to be injected once a week.
"It's certainly that at the age of 14, we don't give doses of adults right away because you don't want the hair to start growing the next morning, says the doctor. I'm going to start you at an intermediate dose, between adult and non-binary."
