published in 2013, and according to its account, "Chris had asked for hormones at the VA (Veterans
Administration) and he'd taken many steps now to begin his transition into womanhood: laser removal of the hair on his face, arms and chest, collagen treatments for his cheekbones But it was frustrating and slow moving to make the transition into a female body. The VA wanted to go slow as they worked toward a solution for hormone treatment because while Chris had been living privately as a woman for nearly two years, he had not transitioned at work. They wanted to be cautious in supporting his change, demanding that he "come out" as female in every aspect of his life before they began hormone treatments or offered surgical solutions." And later on, Chris is quoted saying, "I have to have hormones soon! I can get them on the black market, but they are dangerous and I want to do it under a doctor's care. But at the VA they want me to wait a year! They said I have to have been going to work as a woman, as well as dressing at home, for a whole year! They don't understand what a big deal it is for me-- as a Navy Seal-- to come out at work. I finally did it today". According to Warrior Princess, it's only after Chris comes out at work, starts living full time, and also updates the gender marker on Chris's ID, that "In a few weeks time, Kris met her doctor at the VA and was started on hormones".
