Also the scale at gender clinic reports my weight as 1.5 kg more than my scale at home does (I checked when I got home) which is not great :/

So if my weight is what my scale told me this morning (unclothed, before breakfast or drinking anything) then my BMI is exactly 30. Assuming gender clinic's scale is consistently 1.5 kg higher than my scale, I suppose I should lose 1.5 kg in the next month (and slightly more to account for my clothes), and go to my appointment hungry and dehydrated. 1.5 kg isn't a healthy amount of weight to lose in 28 days, but if that's what I need to access this care then that's what I'm going to do. Notably they told me that my journey at gender clinic will be paused unless I meet the BMI requirement at my next appointment, unfortunately I can't just promise to lose that amount of weight before the operation (which I'm hoping will be in October).
