I don’t remember when my friend Dana first mentioned to me the idea of she and I doing a podcast, though I do know what my response was, sure! I didn’t really know a whole lot about podcasts, as I don’t generally listen to many of them. I understood the basics, it is like a radio show, and I have listened to plenty of talk radio in the past. What I didn’t know, was, how exactly does one produce a…
Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow. On a level of 1 to 10, can you describe the pain you are in? 1 is no pain at all and a 10 is the worst pain you have ever felt. Where would I describe this pain?

Regret is a very difficult thing to deal with, and there is great concern out there about what will happen if a transgender person may regret their decision to transition. I first encountered this worry when I informed my friends and family that I had switched my hormones. I was actually quite surprised at how many people said to me – wow, okay, are you sure that is what you want to do? And very often that was followed up…
It has to be at least a year ago that I met the amazing and fabulous Jessica Lynn. If you don’t know Jessica travels the world giving speeches about her transgender life experiences. She is helping to educate the world that we transgender folk are just regular people trying to navigate this thing called life. Anywho…. I met her at a group therapy session with my super cool therapist. Jessica came to talk with us about what she does. During…
