TPT#311 - Waiting To Drive

TransPanTastic: Transgender parenting, work,... ·

2020/09/05

With three working adults in our household, we are privileged to each have a car. But when all three cars break down at the same time, of course they picked the time for which Jess' hysterectomy was scheduled.

TPT#310 - Start In The Middle

TransPanTastic: Transgender parenting, work,... ·

2020/08/22

George has wanted, for a while now, to be more "out" at work. Recently a teambuilding activity was introduced that may provide him the opportunity, but an overthinker like him still struggles with making it happen.

TPT#309 - Beer In A Jar

TransPanTastic: Transgender parenting, work,... ·

2020/08/08

Testosterone HRT has been known to thicken the blood, and George's hematocrit numbers are up. Jess is getting their hysterectomy, and also needs to manage their bloodwork, especially since their IUD hormones lowered their "good cholesterol" HDL. COVID-19 is making everything harder, and Jess' surgery is scheduled for the first week of school, but we'll muddle through like we always do.

TPT#308 - Adulting Up

TransPanTastic: Transgender parenting, work,... ·

2020/07/25

How do we help our child, who struggles to understand abstract concepts, realize that we won't like things just because they're about The Queers™? And when his other mom (who disappeared a year ago, after accusations of abuse didn't work out how she'd hoped) makes herself known again, how do we respond? And how do we help any other human ever, recognize the difference between fault and responsibility? Hard questions require ridiculous and horrible coping humor. And maybe answers. But definitely

TPT#307 - What We Know About What We Don't Know

TransPanTastic: Transgender parenting, work,... ·

2020/07/11

When will we go back to work in our offices? Will George's change in Testosterone dose help his mood and functioning? When will our kids go back to school? Why does George's blood test show decreased kidney functioning? Is our new neighbor queer? So much uncertainty, but talking about it helps with the anxiety of it.

TPT#306 - Worn Out Words

TransPanTastic: Transgender parenting, work,... ·

2020/06/27

When new descriptive terms are championed by marginalized populations, the lifespan of those words is unknown. Eventually many of those words, however, become victims of the culture of marginalization and outlive their usefulness. Whether it's the change in language around ethnic minorities, gender and sexual minorities, or disability communities, it's important to be responsive to those changes to be respectful of the members of those populations. In other news, George's blood work indicates that

TPT#305 - What Did They Do With Everybody?!

TransPanTastic: Transgender parenting, work,... ·

2020/06/13

We believe that Black Lives Matter. Special needs parenting in a pandemic is somewhat prohibitive of attending marches or protests, so it's an odd feeling to be supportive from afar this round. That odd feeling, combined with the other oddities of our daily lives in quarantine, has caused George some strange stress dreams and given us cause to have discussions about our relationship that we've never needed to have before. We are here to share our entire intersectional experience with anyone who

TPT#304 - Georgy-Rigged

TransPanTastic: Transgender parenting, work,... ·

2020/05/30

Many studies have shown that working from home can be more productive than at centralized locations like an office. Lately, lots of folks have been multi-tasking while working from home, and when we had an appliance repair that needed doing, George thought he'd be able to manage it without any trouble. The universe thought differently. We are here to share our entire intersectional experience with anyone who finds it beneficial, but we want to know what you connect with the most.

TPT#303 - Muppety

TransPanTastic: Transgender parenting, work,... ·

2020/05/16

Because George is a civil servant, he is still working, even when gender makes things weird. Much of his job can be provided remotely, while simultaneously parenting and managing a challenging child's distance learning, but occasionally he does need to go to a place to do a thing. And of course, one place he had to go was a place where COVID-19 was confirmed just days thereafter. Our collaboration policy is online at transpantastic.net/p/collaboration-and-anonymity.html. Bob has a slightly smaller

TPT#302 - Dust To Dust

2020/05/02

"A case of the Mondays" is the fictional ailment one might experience in an office job upon returning from a weekend. So why do George's Mondays seem longer now that he's working from home?

TPT#301 - From This Perspective.

2020/04/18

It's George's 7th Manniversary! We talked about how things have changed over the past decade, as his hormones have changed, his body has changed, his brain has changed, and the way others perceive him has changed.

TPT#300 - Everything Is COVIDy.

TransPanTastic: Transgender parenting, work,... ·

2020/04/04

Some months back, we thought it might be fun to plan something for our 300th episode. In the meanwhile, a global pandemic has basically cancelled all plans. George has been on testosterone for almost seven years, but survived an estrogen-dominated body and social standing for decades prior, so it still catches him off guard sometimes to be perceived as male, whether by others or by himself.

TPT#299 - Your Right To F*ck Things Up Ends At My...

TransPanTastic: Transgender parenting, work,... ·

2020/03/21

While quarantined with a small human, George got to work mostly from home. Jess didn't, but they were only a little put out by it. Not only did Child#2's other mom decide to show back up after half a year starting drama again, but the boy decided to express curiosity about George's genitals.

TPT#298 - You Made Up That Reality

TransPanTastic: Transgender parenting, work,... ·

2020/03/07

Reality is, some people are transgender. But what that means to each trans person is highly subjective. We discussed the way our gender affects the ways we interact with one another and the world, how we live up to social norms and cultural expectations, and how we sometimes choose not to.

TPT#297 - I'm Not Really The Creepy Guy

TransPanTastic: Transgender parenting, work,... ·

2020/02/22

We went to Gallifrey One, as we do every year in February. We help out some behind the scenes, and pay attention to the ways the LGBTQIA+ community is welcomed into the con. Between bringing the pronoun ribbons, parenting from afar, noticing women having apprehensive reactions to George's (cis-passing but intentionally visibly trans) masculinity, and Jess noticing others' reactions to the gender-affirming bathroom signage, a queer time was had by all.

TPT#296 - Lady Bits

TransPanTastic: Transgender parenting, work,... ·

2020/02/08

It often strikes George as slightly odd, how folks treat him now, compared to how they treated him prior to transition. It strikes him as downright bizarre, however, the excessively gendered ways in which they reinforce the genderedness of those interactions, especially after having had them pointed out. Whether it's at work, or at his endocrinologist, or at Jess' surgery, binary-minded cisgender people are weird. We are here to share our entire intersectional experience with anyone who finds it

TPT#295 - It Sucks, But We're Here For You.

TransPanTastic: Transgender parenting, work,... ·

2020/01/25

Sometimes we have time and energy to devote to gender- and transition-related topics. Sometimes we have time and energy to use on our own personal development and enrichment. Other times, things like parenting take up all of our cognitive bandwidth. And with the challenges we've been experiencing recently, that parenting thing has gotten somewhat overwhelming.

2020/01/11

George has mentioned before that he suffers from depression, which is slightly more common among members of the LGBTQIA+ community, although the degree of prevalence and correlation varies according to supportiveness of family and community. We discussed his experiences as both a patient and practicing clinician in the mental health industry, the strategies he employs to lessen symptoms when depression worsens, and as the overlap between his gender dysphoria and his depression. Note that George

Everyone has expectations of what their journey through adolescence will be like, and what the adult outcomes will be. For those of us who experience more than one puberty, we have more awareness of our prior expectations as we began our second adolescence. George explains what he thought would happen, and we discuss how that compares with what actually happened.

TPT#292 - Most Best

TransPanTastic: Transgender parenting, work,... ·

2019/12/14

No, not "Be Best". That's hypocritical nonsense. George's gender is not hypocritical, and it's the most bestest thing in his whole world. Even with a trip to Chicago TARDIS, and seeing old friends, and getting deadnamed, and dealing with some of the more negative aspects of masculinity, transition is still his most best thing.
