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.

When a social interaction goes sideways, especially an interaction with a stranger, there's always a question of how much bigotry played into the negative outcome. George notices those patterns in some situations, and Jess recognizes them in others, because we are, as always, opposites in so many things.

And when he takes Child#2 to get an ID, it was an adventure for more reasons than just the kid. We are here to share our entire intersectional experience with anyone who fin...
