On p. 15 of the MandaPanda transcript, Yaniv says he's sending her a video link but instead links her to the lower surgery referral form attached here from the Diamond Health Care Centre at Vancouver General, which began performing bottom surgery
this fall.
The Diamond Center (named for its benefactors, Gordon and Leslie Diamond) holds Transition Tuesdays seminars, which is probably the session to which Yaniv took Katie. In the MandaPanda transcripts, he tells her he's at an information session on 9/19, one of the first if not the first they held.
On 9/23, when he sends the blank form to MandaPanda, he tells her he's at a doctor's appointment, so he may have been pursuing a referral then, though he complains constantly to her about feeling sick and seeing doctors so it could have been for one of his other maladies. On 10/15 he says he's gotten two estrogen injections at a hospital.
I'll add these and other health details from the MandaPanda transcript to the
health monitors once I'm done combing through it. Taking me longer than I'd expected.
