yes, even with soaking before cooking they remain dry. Even after boiling for an hour, cooling, and then simmering for hours. Even after simmering for multiple days - they just remain hard and never fully soften or cook.

how do you store your dry beans? I always end up with my beans getting too dry and they stay hard even after lots of cooking, dry beans have become something I can't buy in bulk and only fresh.

lol, I also spent a lot of time on /r/egg_irl and knew about egg culture and so on, and still didn't get that I was an egg. I found the memes relatable and while it was fine to joke that I might be an egg, I didn't take it seriously.
I'm in the U.S.
After some therapy I called up my primary care physician (PCP), told my nurse I have gender dysphoria and would like a referral to an endrocrinologist, and then gave the information about the endo so they could send over the referral.
Then the endo called me and I made an appointment, the first available was 3 months away. The endo thought it was obvious I should be on estrogen and sent the prescription in immediately, and I was able to pick up the estrogen that day.
Sometimes the psychologist can send the referral rather than the PCP, but my PCP was happy to send it (I got lucky, my PCP was randomly trans-affirming and turns out, unknown to me, they had other trans patients). So one way this can get bogged down is if your psychologist or PCP isn't willing to send a referral to an endo, or if you're relying on the PCP for the HRT, they just won't write you the Rx.
Another way this can get bogged down is if the wait time to see the endo is longer, or if the endo decides they aren't sure they should prescribe you the HRT.
This is why it's good to talk to the local trans community to know which therapists, PCPs, and endos to see. If the community doesn't know, sometimes there are resources and directories collected online - I found my endo through the Trans in the South guide.

yeah, it was an intentional act of civil disobedience, though she might have a different view on that. She is a conservative Catholic who believed if she prayed and appealed to her fellow conservatives' consciences, they would ... just not uphold the hateful laws they created to target her. She was wrong, unfortunately. She explicitly has said she isn't an activist.
