TPT#77 - Little White Bowls

Sometimes things get misplaced. While we endeavour to find lost items promptly, it often happens that the hunt for missing objects is preempted by our busy lives. Back-to-school has made our lives busier than usual, so the to-do list has gotten completely shuffled and lost-and-found hasn't been a priority.

TPT#75 - A Bad Case of Butthurt

Every once in a while, we have a problem that won't go away until we talk about it in a podcast episode. We've come to call this phenomenon "microphone magic". This time the problem is health-related, prompting a few visits to new doctors and the anxiety that can induce in trans folk.

As discussed at about 11:50, we recorded the process of finding our doctor in episode #21 "Doctor, Doctor" (which can be found at http://transpantastic.net/2013/08/doctor-doctor.html if your podcatcher doesn't pull all the old episodes).

At 26:20 we incorrectly state that nitroglycerin is a vasoconstrictor. It is actually a vasodilator. Hence the lowered blood pressure.

TPT#74 - ThunderCats and Sparkly Streamers

From the moment a newborn emerges and the doctor takes note of their genitals, any child born into most western cultures is assigned a set of expections and cultural norms we refer to as "gender". It takes only a little experience to realize that the majority of these expectations are nonsense.

TPT#73 - Doing It As A Man

George's transition has made him clearly male in appearance, and this affects everything from his health to his social interactions. Jess is generally happy to support him in each situation, even when her own queerness gets lost in the shuffle. When hiking or exercising, when dealing with his mom, or when dealing with strangers in public, there are new experiences for both of us to explore.
