TPT#113 - A Handful O' Trans People

At George's second anniversary of HRT, we review how the past two years have gone, his medical transition process, and how he feels about the experience. In some ways these events echo what we hear from others, but every experience is unique.

An "extra" episode will also be released today, with details of how George's measurements and body shape have changed in two years, for those who want those details.

TPT#113x - Extra - Measurements and Changes at Two Years HRT

George's body has changed a lot over two years on testosterone. In this "extra" episode, we detailed some specific measurements and how T has affected them. We pulled this content from the main "second man-iversary" episode because it only interests a segment of our listeners, so we didn't want to bore the majority of you, but we wanted to have this information available for those who find it interesting or pertinent to their own experience.

TPT#112 - The Jesus People, Pt. 2 (Career Christians and the “big fat gay wedding”)

Continuing last week's discussion of Christianity and the LGBTQIA+ community, we talk about how our friends' lives changed as they moved in and out of religious employment, government employment, and the private sector. They could see the effect of their religious views and their love for the queer community in the way they fit (or didn't) into each step of their respective and collective journeys.

TPT#111 - The Jesus People Pt. 1 (Finding faith, “ex-gay”, the culture wars, and being hated)

George's friend and his wife, the ones who lead the bible study we've mentioned, join us for another guest episode! We discuss their initial experiences at the intersection of religion and respect for the LGBTQIA+ community, and how they moved from a place of supporting "ex-gay" ministries to being genuinely supportive and loving toward the queer community.

To be continued next week!

TPT#110 - Gender F*ckery

Transition literally means a change from one thing to another. Prior to transition, we were perceived as our assigned gender, and until we begin transitioning we have to cope with a less-than-ideal circumstance and state of being. How we cope is unique to each individual, and how long we choose to adapt to our assigned gender is also variable. George's experience of adapting and his methods of adaptation to his assigned gender were effective for him... until they weren't.

TPT#109 - He Even Tattles On Himself

When Child#2's special needs require a school meeting, it's naturally a little stressful. When we find out that Child Protection has gotten involved with him, it's a lot stressful. When we're a queer family facing these things, with relatively little experience so far with bigotry or discrimination, things might not be what they seem.

TPT#108 - They're All Very Friendly People

During transition, the way others see us changes. This often changes the way they interact with us, although not in ways we would have expected. Sometimes the changes aren't even things others realize they're doing, but we who have seen the interactions from both presentations can spot the differences.

TPT#107 - A Bit More Running Than I Thought

"Seriously, there's an outrageous amount of running involved." George has had a really sh*tty day. Literally. Thankfully, between having the right hormones and the benefit of being culturally expected to behave as he is naturally inclined to do, he is able to manage things fairly well.

TPT#106 - Junk and Stuff

Genitals are a touchy subject in most of western culture, and no less so for most of the transgender community. We follow up previous discussions of George's "junk", and jump into Jess' "junk" also. Figuratively, of course. Frank discussion of lower dysphoria, sex, and genderqueer identity follow as we let the conversation follow our thoughts.

From dysphoria to patreon to DHT to hair care, here's what you wanted to hear about.
