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
