Given the way his brain works, it's entirely possible that the hormones were his idea. It's also possible that one of his new friends, maybe even a casual acquaintance, suggested he go the hormone route. There is also, as I mentioned before, the possibility that some random "fan" sent him this shit.
Chris has been thinking about a getting a sex-change operation since at LEAST 2008. He discussed taking hormones with Kacey in 2009. In this case it was male hormones, because at the time he was trying to cure his gender dysphoria by swinging the other way, but I think it's pretty obvious that he was considering both options out of desperation. Just a few weeks later he fell in love 4-ever with the sports bra. Even at this point I think he was convinced that in some sense he must be a woman, hence the desire for male hormones to crush his feminine feelings and put him in harmony with his God-given package. When Kacey told him that he could lose his manboobs if he lost weight, Chris was skeptical, claiming that he was born with this body type, i.e., that he was inherently womanly. He actually said he started to develop his tits when he was in kindergarten. This is very similar to how he liked to claim (starting in at least 2007) that it was a proven scientific fact that he was programmed to get along better with the women, the beautiful ladies.
Chris also explained to Kacey how chromosomes work--"women are XX, but men are both X
and Y, which means I'm half man-half woman!" He was desperately grasping at a rational justification for his confused feelings. He wanted so much to be normal. Notice also in his Future Message, he wants so much to convince you that stroking the hair of My Little Ponies is what manly men do in order to feel closer to the female objects of their desire. He is so terrified of becoming a homo, which, as I'm sure we all know, is the natural trajectory of a man who feels like a woman. He's just flailing.
The point is that Chris has been thinking about this stuff, including hormones, for a long time, even before the trolling started, and has probably been influenced far more by South Park and Family Guy than anyone at the gay bar. This is an idea he came up with himself. At the same time, I think it's possible that he's friending drag queens and other weirdos in order to get specific advice on transitioning and pasties.
I'm very happy to hear that his doctor knows about this stuff. My take is that Chris's doctor knows as well as we do that Chris is an autistic fuckup and therefore not truly transgender, and since he's never going to get anywhere with this, it's OK to string him along with harmless "hormones" if it keeps the little girl happy.
