TPTxxx - No Episode This Week

One of George's incisions got infected, and we hope you'll forgive us if he's too busy recovering to record this week.

See you next year!

TPT#396 - Feeeemales

The third stage of George's lower surgery is recovering well so far, meanwhile Jess is home parenting and managing the household, so we recorded from different locations to talk about it.

TPT#395 - Least Worst

TPT#394 - Topography Of The Gender Map

When George was preparing for his first stage of surgery, he was contacted by someone whose professional title with the hospital is "Gender Navigator". Over the course of the surgical process, he has appreciated that person's presence, so when they asked for his input and feedback about his process and interactions with the hospital, he was happy to answer questions and offer his thoughts.

TPT#393 - Emerge Out The Side Of My Body

We've taken a couple of trips recently, while waiting for George's final stage of surgery. Our travels weren't without complications, as Jess got covid which almost upended one trip, and George got shingles which has postponed his surgery.

TPT#392 - I'm Weird And Gross

If you're here, you already know that listening to queer podcasts is a good way to connect with queer community when life is busy and time or energy to engage in more active connection are inaccessible. After listening to a recent episode of Gender Reveal, George had some thoughts about his own concept of gender and how it interacts with socially-constructed concepts of gender, so we talked to you all about it.

TPT#391 - Almost Peed On The Guy Next To Me

As we continue to wait for the insurance and scheduling for George's last stage of surgery, he's been busy with travel and more travel. Between visiting his sister and visiting Cousin Vinnie, he's had plenty of opportunity for ridiculous gendery nonsense.

TPT#390 - Like Two Chicken Wings

While George waits for the next stage of his surgery to get scheduled, parenting continues apace, and Child#2 has given us a run for our money the past couple of weeks.

TPT#389 - Rerouting Communications

While George is still recovering from his most recent round of surgery revisions, Child#0 decided to get married and saved the actual planning for the last minute, and Child#2 and Child#3 started back to school.

TPT#388 - Where Everything Is Coming Out From

George got repairs done for his lower surgery, then did hyperbaric treatments to help the repairs stick. Transmasculine lower surgeries typically have more complications than most folks like to talk about, but we're talking anyway, because complications and all, it will have been worth it in the end.

TPT#387 - Pressurizing and Depressurizing

George's second stage of surgery went better than the first, thanks in large part to following it up with hyperbaric treatment.

TPT#386 - All Of These Moving Parts

George went back to his surgeon to discuss the complications with his metoidioplasty, and while he was there he got to have a bit of fun with his Cousin Vinnie. Now he may or may not have an appointment for the next stage of surgery, in less than a week, and we're trying not to get too overwhelmed trying to make that work at such short notice.

TPT#385 - Ain't Tryna

As we prepare for Jess to visit their non-nesting partner and George to visit the surgeon for metoidioplasty follow-up and Cousin Vinnie while there, children needed to be managed and plans needed to be made for their management. While this is always the case when we both leave town at once, this week we had a number of unexpected changes and challenges.

TPT#384 - Yes I'm Interested In You

As George prepares to go to his follow-up appointment for his metoidioplasty, we have to manage logistics for managing children and a dog while we're away. While away, he hopes to meet up with some potential romantic connections, but re-learning how to flirt and date with the patriarchy now standing behind him is a bit challenging.

TPT#383 - Nothing She Hasn't Seen Before

George is still struggling with the complications from his metoidioplasty, and sometimes feels as though he is quite literally "coming apart at the seams". So it's time to head back to the doctor and have a look at what else needs to be done, as well as looking forward to the second stage of surgery.

TPT#382 - Try To Give The Right Cues

George has finally levelled up and out of employment. Retirement is a huge privilege, so even though accessing it has been an adventure we're still super grateful that it's an option, especially while he's still recovering from the first stage of lower surgery and trying to plan for the next stage.

TPT#381 - Not For The Weak At Heart

Surgery recovery continues, as George has two places where torn stitches are still healing. Meanwhile, parenting has gotten interesting again, because teenagers don't need less parenting, just different parenting.

TPT#378 - It's Like Going Blind (The Lawyer Friend Returns, Pt. 2)

In the second half of our conversation with The Lawyer Friend, we discussed a decade of transition, including coming out, personal safety, male privilege, stealth, dating, and more discussion of surgery.

As of the date of publication, George is a few weeks out from surgery and recovering well.

TPT#376 - The Wrong Way To Flail

George finally has a surgery date, and it's coming up far quicker than we expected. While we plan and prepare, we're considering child care, elder care, pet care, and what to tell various members of various social spheres.

TPT#372 - Weird That You Thought Of Us

As a blended family with varying custody arrangements, we've always had odd scheduling for our holidays. The past few years we had our "Christmas" before the holiday, but this year we had it after. Between that change and our teenagers' increasing maturity and the rest of our family's unique ways of being, the holidays were as much of an adventure as you'd expect.
