For the last 7+ years i've had many conversations with Mary regarding progesterone's usage in trans female hormone care (she was the first in the UK to offer it and firmly believe in it, while the few other providers that now do so too required a slow sustained campaign to change their minds).
Now i'm no longer officially a patient under Ms Burke's care - i thought it essential to get a direct quote from her as i head out the door, going at least somewhat into why she prescribes it.
