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

While George was wandering himself all over the western US, he encountered a lot of folks who were doing a lot of gendery stuff. From the seemingly-cishet dude at the hardware store in the bay, to the queers at the psychedelic conference, to the cissies at the support group near home, there was much gender to be had.

When westerners call the generational status of caring for children and elders simultaneously "Sandwich Generation", Jess thinks that makes it sound like flavorful fillings in an easily handled form, but we have found it to be far from tasty.

One recurring theme in the ten year's we've been in your ears has been the recurring difficulties accessing testosterone. These difficulties are familiar to most trans folks on any form of HRT, and now George has been struggling to also access mental health treatment meds after an insurance snafu.

After many months of shortage, George's testosterone prescription has finally begun refilling again.

After many months of waiting for his endocrinologist to finish his move to a new practice, he has finally made contact and had an appointment.

After many hours on the phone with doctor's offices, with insurance reps, with pension program insurance liaisons, and with patient advocates, can he actually get his T to refill on a regular basis again before his cautiously hoarded stash runs out?

We went back to Alaska to pick up Child#2, and took our own little vacation along the way, stopping in Seattle first. But of course, nothing ever goes to plan around here, so in addition to George having a date and Jess getting to see a friend, we also had to do long-distance parenting and kid-transit troubleshooting.
