TPT#459 - Pizza Pie Panopticon (Jail Friend, Pt. 2)

Not long after the Lawyer Friend got to Jail, they decided he belonged in the women's building. That created a whole set of social and psychological struggles, but the biggest struggle was just the fact of being there.

TPT#458 - Zero Stars, Do Not Recommend (Jail Friend, Pt. 1)

While George is in Spain, Jess sat down with the Lawyer Friend to discuss his recent experiences with the carceral system. This week, we discussed how he got there, both figuratively and literally. Next week we'll discuss his continued experiences with correctional officers and fellow inmates.

TPT#441 - Go Play Amongst Yourselves

Cousin Vinnie was over as they prepared to take George to Hawai'i on vacation. We discussed their recent adventures in gender, being about as far into their nonbinary transmasculinization as Jess is, but living in a much bigger city, and neither possessing nor desiring passing privilege.

TPT#429 - Side Effects May Include Dating

TPT#422 - Reality Resistant

George can't seem to catch a break when it comes to health care, his fistula is healing well but now he has an injured shoulder and the new testosterone prescription is not working as well as the old one.

TPT#418 - I Wanted It Fixed For Everybody

One recurring theme in the ten year's we've been in your ears has been the recurring difficulties accessing testosterone. These difficulties are familiar to most trans folks on any form of HRT, and now George has been struggling to also access mental health treatment meds after an insurance snafu.

TPT#414 - Doesn't Often Work For Me But It's My Motto

After many months of shortage, George's testosterone prescription has finally begun refilling again.

After many months of waiting for his endocrinologist to finish his move to a new practice, he has finally made contact and had an appointment.

After many hours on the phone with doctor's offices, with insurance reps, with pension program insurance liaisons, and with patient advocates, can he actually get his T to refill on a regular basis again before his cautiously hoarded stash runs out?

TPT#407 - Hoping This Will Be Functional (Preparing For Fourth Sugery, Pt. 1)

While G is preparing to leave for surgery, once again, we are making sure to prepare, as much as possible, everything for which he is responsible. This means managing a kid, an aunt, and various doctor appointments for the both of us.

TPT#405 - Gates And Hoops

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.

The episode we referenced can be found here: https://gender.libsyn.com/episode-160-raquel-willis

TPT#363 - Adequately Directing Their Efforts

Accessing gender-affirming healthcare is rarely easy and often quite challenging. George's first steps to access his lower surgery involved a variety of staff offering their efforts but not always achieving much.

At 04:29 George references a website incorrectly. The correct link is transhealthcare.org.

TPT#355 - Lady Person Type Deal

We returned home to a tribble infestation, which had been introduced by George's former workwife. She helped refinish the cabinets and went with him to baseball, all while still George was trying to manage the situation with his endocrinologist and navigate access to HRT.

TPT#348 - Harass Them Gently With A Jar Wrench

It seems you can't go a month or two without hearing about a shortage of one HRT prescription product or another. If that were George's problem, it would be much more easy to deal with than his current problem accessing testosterone.
