TPT#138 - Girls Chase Boys

Why does it always have to be Friday? This time around, work stress got George to a place where he wasn't able to keep dysphoria from getting to him. The oddities didn't stop, though, the bizarreness of Friday didn't end with Friday.

The amazing music video we referenced is Ingrid Michaelson's "Girls Chase Boys", at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GBT37_yyzY.

TPT#137 - My Hand Might Forget What I Was Doing

George got his blood tests back and the results are potentially concerning. While we manage that, he also had another revision to his top surgery.

TPT#136 - Five Stuffed Bears In Lederhosen

As we continue to settle into our new house, we needed to call our handyman for some help. Our handyman who hasn't seen George since before he started transition. But he's an old hippie, fairly open-minded, a pretty cool guy... how awkward could it get?

TPT#135 - Hormones From Hell

After over two years on testosterone, George's second puberty is well underway, but have his hormones started causing him trouble? While we wait for his blood work to come back, we discuss how Jess' hormones have also caused her trouble, and especially recently. We round out our conversation of hormone stuffs with the thought of both of us preparing for our respective visits to the gynecologist.

TPT#134 - Sitting On Fans


Chair (n): A piece of furniture designed for supporting the human body
Fan (n): An appliance that pushes air around.
Transgender (adj): A person whose assigned/biological sex and psychological gender are not in congruence.

You can sit on one of these things. Sometimes two, but we're not that kind of podcast.

George thinks in pictures and concepts, Jess thinks in words and sounds. Sometimes this creates a struggle to communicate, but generally we work it out. Words are important to the transgender community, and with good reason. Words can create or destroy, can harm or heal. But Ivan Coyote said, "really, these are all just words, and words are always imperfect, and words are just sounds we make with our mouths that point our minds to think of things that cannot be fully described in words anyway." Words are important, but this time Jess has gone just a little word-ranty.
