Follow international medical guidelines (i.e. WPATHv8) as a baseline, actually listen to trans people, and be willing to deviate based on patient need.
Have the trans community involved in governance in a non-tokenestic way, e.g. seats on the board.
It varies in practice. Most people I see using identify, including many trans people, are well-intentioned and think it's the preferred polite language without thinking too hard on the implications of it.
However there are definitely anti-trans people who will use it pejoratively, which I presume is where that wording originated.
For me I noticed minor benefits after 4 days, and it took about 2 weeks for it to more fully kick in.
Personally the other side effects ended up with me going off it. The focus benefits stayed, though the low mood it turned out it was causing took 3 weeks to go away after I stopped.
The downside is that the adverse effects of the meds can prevent you from being able to do much, so its about finding just the right dosage for your body.
You're not likely to have the energy to do anything beyond lounging around for at least a week or two, I'd plan on taking at least a month off work.

Pretty much.
It's either my alarm clock or 5.1 speakers, both of which would be somewhere over 20 years old.

Took me maybe a year to fully stop doing.

Testosterone can convert to estradiol via aromatase, however there's no metabolic pathway in the other direction.

This is a common side effect.
For estradiol pills, patches, and gel are your options if you can't do needles.
Pills aren't recommended for over 45s or those with a history of blood clots, due to increased risk of blood clots.
I think I read something about her sister handling it now.
For pre-op http://fuckingtranswomen.org/ is generally what is recommended.
Unfortunately she passed away before writing the post-op version.
Yes, it took me maybe 6-12 months after I was out to stop doing it.
Still happens rarely, usually for phrases that are gendered that I'd not be using often.

This is called the "bus rule" around here, you don't sit beside someone if there's a still a set of seats you can have to yourself.
I'd be more worried if they did sit beside you, as that'd be considered a bit creepy.

In my experience it is still possible, and you can even get a bit more control as to what you hyperfocus on.
