Hi. I'm trans* male too. I identify as androgyne, with a male gender expression.
Is your gender specialist a doctor, or a therapist? A therapist can not prescribe medications. Only doctors can.
Do you have a family doctor? Are you able to ask them if they can refer you to someone who can prescribe T?
Also, are you able to do subtle things like wear men's underwear, or wear a chest binder, or shave your face, or let your armpit and leg hair grow out? This may help you feel more comfortable. Also, if you desire, you can try to find a packer to help with bottom dysphoria.
I hope you can get on T (testosterone) soon.
