TPT#218 - Getting Your Hands On The Substance

On George's fourth manniversary we reminisce about his transgender journey, from the earliest days of his first decision to transition, to the difficulty he had in accessing HRT, and the joy of finally getting the right amount of testosterone in his body. The following episodes were referenced, at the following times:

• - 0:02:29 - Episode 1: making the decision to transition
• - 0:04:05 - Episode 1: impatience with access to transition
• - 0:09:22 - Episode 7: George's "trans narrative"
• - 0:18:03 - Episode 4: insurance and healthcare access
• - 0:27:20 - Episode 13: the joy of starting HRT

0:36:26 - 1:15:54
TPT#219 - The Royal "We"

Continuing our fourth manniversary trans-in-review, once George finally got HRT started, his body began changing. Once the changes became noticable, it was time to start coming out as male. Coming out to our kids and family was no problem. Working for the government, however, and especially in a small town, meant that nothing could be easy and especially not coming out. The following episodes were referenced, at the following times:

• - 0:37:18 - Episode 25: early changes on testosterone
• - 0:45:10 - Episode 20: coming out to the kids
• - 0:53:26 - Episode 28: trying to prepare for coming out at work
• - 1:04:25 - Episode 29: finally getting to come out at work

TPT#217 - Pee Into The Hat

Health care is a complicated subject, and getting health care as a transgender person can be even more so. Is the doctor choosing not to touch your body because she's bigoted, or just inept? Is a nurse being snotty because he's tired after a long shift, or because he took a look at your records? As George ages, health care interactions are going to become more frequent, and it's important that his providers are all capable and competent to work with populations of all genders. The good news is, his intestines tried to kill him just in time to have a day off for the mad rush on Gallifrey One hotel reservations!
