TransPanTastic: Transgender parenting, work, marriage, transition, and life!

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 . We are here to share our entire intersectional experience with anyone who finds it beneficial,...

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.

George has been refinishing the cabinets with his workwife for over two months. Not only is that a nice long while for handyman hijinks to occur, but it's also an exhausting slog.

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.

We both each took a kid on a trip. Jess took Child#3 to Washington DC to make up for the school trip that COVID cancelled. George took Child#2 to Arizona to visit family and so George could see spring training. As usual, shenanigans were had.

It seems you can't go a month or two without hearing about a shortage of one HRT prescription product or another.

When last we visited the topic of George's aunt, her apartment was being house-sat by our unhoused and recently widowed friend. Everyone expected her to need housesitting for at least a month, and likely more, while our friend found a more stable housing situation. The universe had other plans.

Because of various schedules, we had our Christmas traditions and celebrations earlier in the month. When Child#0 still holds to a shared fandom that we've outgrown, how does George respond to a gift that probably paid a TERF? 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...
