I Googled LGBT Community Centers in Cape Town and came up with a few places. Also Gender DynamiX. Call them about support services, and referrals to KNOWLEDGEABLE health care providers. An excellent reference for you and your doctor is from University of California/San Francisco: https://transcare.ucsf.edu/guidelines
