HI S ,

Very true , you have every right to be P****d , weight should not fact into your transition.
There is no reason any doctor would request you lose weight.

For a complete answer , I will provide two:

If you want to start HRT , I can`t see weight being an issue , simply because hormones play such a huge factor as we transition. You may gain more or lose more , hard to say.

If you are and have been on HRT and are looking towards SRS , then your weight might become an issue because of anesthetic issues , from my understanding it is about a 7 hour surgery , and that `s a long time to be under and intubated.

So those are the only 2 reasons I can think of.

If you are at the starting line , then weight should be a null issue , plan and simple.
Even as you become more aware of yourself , your weight will change.

All my best , take care .
