If you mentioned you were exploring hormones she certainly thought your agenda would be transition. So many people have this fantasy of taking hormones to magically transform your body and become a woman. It doesn't work that way and her brutal questions up front would definitely give you pause. Allow you to start self-exploration to help determine what your agenda is.
There is a big difference from the fantasy of transitioning to female vs the reality of transitioning. Transition tends to get real very fast and without realizing or anticipating the consequences can lead to a ruined life very quickly. Not to say that recovery from it won't happen. But the recovery most certainly take much longer because contingencies have not been put in place.
