The courtroom thing sounds horrible! :( And I agree, the requirements that you faced were bad enough. Here, until the recent ruling that genital surgery won't be a requirement to change legal gender, you had to not only have a doctor comfirm you were 'complete', but it had to be the Oslo university transgender clinic (because they were the only ones qualified to make that call, apparently... wtf).
Norwegian lesson of today: 'Gi deg' literally means 'surrender', 'give yourself [up]', in the imperative, but it's also an idiomatic expression for 'stop it', as in, 'OMG stop it, Daaaad'. *g*
