No, the GRC isn't required to get hormones, but you will either have to wait a long time to see the GIC/Trans Plus, hope that a doctor will continue any prescritpion you already had or go private such as with Gender G.P. (they cost a lot to set up or learn new things and they require blood tests every three months though), or go DIY if you want and order/make it all yourself.

The GRC is only necessary to change your birth certificate (including sex) if you're a already a UK citizen and for some limited governmental stuff (such as national insurance number and other HMRC stuff and marriages/civil partnerships), everything else can be gotten by with other documentation like passports and driving licenses etc.
Everywhere else doesn't require a birth certificate to change your sex just either whatever is already on your documentation or you can get a doctor to write a letter for you so you can change it anywhere you don't require a GRC for.

Depends what you mean by success I suppose.
Mastodon is still going strong despite these supposed inconveniences, so I wouldn't call it a failure exactly.
A good solution here is to ask open ended questions instead of ones with a yes or no etc answer and to talk about their interests.

I believe you can interupt or control their communications with a flipper zero, if not there's a battery you can pull out on them somewhere.
Just in case, of course.
This is exactly why we need youth liberation, so that younger folks have access to information they need to make choices for themselves and be able to legally.
Imagine a world in which older folks could not just automatically expect to make all the decisions for younger folks, I think at least it would be a lot fairer with a lot less abuse and fewer/no shitty laws meant to gatekeep/control them specifically.
