You can either be upfront and ask or you can seek out a clinic that operates under the informed consent model and just go to them to start HRT. Since they are already accepting and knowledgable you may find this a more suitable approach. There are a few with-in your geographic area, Washington DC, Richmond Virginia, Asheville NC and one in Raleigh NC.
There may be other doctors or clinics closer to you that work off of the "Informed Consent" model, which simply means as long as you are competent enough to make an informed decision no therapist letter is required.

I agree, if their intention is to transition then being honest and saying that is for the best. However their intention may not be to transition in which case "soften up" might be more accurate.
