"She thinks" you should? It isn't her job to direct you that way. Do YOU think you should? From your post above, I think not
I've been seeing a therapist since mid March and she is helping me reach my own decisions rather than push me to do something. She has told me if I want to start HRT she will write a letter for me, but, it is solely my decision. I would be a bit skeptical about someone wanting you to make a big decision like that, especially after the initial session. My initial session was spent getting to know each other, me sharing why I was there, and seeing if we both felt we'd be a good fit.
all she has ask is i just go to talk with the endocrinologist to help make the right choice
and if i do it she is willing to help guide me with and she is also has given for local support group for this area
i'm going to look in to
i have started with a self feminization program she asked about it so i gave her the info
that is one of the reason she would like me to go talk with the endo doctor

I wish you the best on your journey of life. The main thing is to have FUN!
If you've been self-medicating then it makes perfect sense for her to suggest you talk to an endo who can explain what you're playing with. Like everyone else, I'd be a little concerned if she wrote you an HRT letter after one session. Good luck with your therapy. Many of us have found it to be extremely helpful. It looks like you've been around this forum for a while, so you have probably seen a lot of posts that will help you shape your conversations with the therapist. Please keep sharing your story as you progress.
at this point she is not going to write the letter
all she is asking i talk to one and have some blood work done
and go from there
