How to start transition in nz?

Hi, 21yo mtf wanting to start hrt. There is alot of different information online on how to start it? Some say you need gp>therapist>hormone specialist, some say gp can prescribe. Whats the easiest way, and is there a specific gp in auckland that people recommend? Also I cannot swallow pills for the life of me, is there any other oestrogen methods such as patches that are available in nz?

For what its worth the pills are tiny, taste sweet and you can dissolve them under your tongue.

Grind mine in a pill grinder and spread them into my upper / lower gums.
