Listener Question: Am I a Chaser?
Thursday Apr 26, 2018
Thursday Apr 26, 2018
Does being attracted to a transgender woman make you a chaser? In this episode we read a listener question from Stephen who asks "I met this girl online and we started dating. A couple dates in, she tells me that she's trans. I was totally okay with it, and so we continued dating. We shortly thereafter ended up in the bedroom, and at the danger of being crass, dare I say that it was probably one of the best experiences I'd had in that department. As time went on, our relationship devolved for reasons unrelated and came to an end, but it left me more sexually open and interested.So, I tried my hand at dating men, since they share some of the parts that were fun, but I didn't like it, because as it turns out, I'm not into men. While I still very much enjoy cis women as well, I think I've grown a preference towards trans women. I definitely think that I go out of my way to be respectful and a gentleman to anyone I date, regardless of where they are on the spectrum. Does this make me a chaser, and if so, do I just stop attempting to date trans folks?"
We're fans of Her Story, starring Jen Richards.
There's plenty of talk about fetish porn in this episode, but you're going to have to do your own research there.

Thursday Mar 22, 2018
Thursday Mar 22, 2018
Taking hormones can be a huge part of starting transition, but how does one get HRT? In this episode we answer a listener question from Mia who asks "I want to get on hormones, but am having trouble figuring out how to get access to hormones? Who can I talk to about this?"
If you are in the greater NYC area, check out Callen-Lorde Community Health Center. Planned Parenthood also provides HRT services among other important health care work. You can also search for transgender health care providers here.
Our first episode with Dr. HD of Hormones Demystfied has a lot of good info on HRT.
Check out the Center for Transgender Health which has a page on the Transgender Standards of Care.
(And a clarification regarding psychologists and prescriptions: in some states, psychologists can prescribe medications. However, it's only for medications that treat psychiatric conditions, not HRT.)

Do You Miss Anything about Living as a Guy?
Thursday Mar 15, 2018
Thursday Mar 15, 2018
It's amazing to transition, but is everything always perfect afterward? This week we answer a listener question from Nora. She asks "Is there anything about being a cis male that you miss? Please don’t misconstrue this as 'do you regret transitioning?' That question would be rude, inconsiderate, and non of my business. And it’s not a sociological question such as 'Don’t you wish women earned as much as men?' I’m just wondering about day-to-day stuff where there’s a (generalized) difference between the way women and men do things, or the way they act.
As we discuss in the episode, check out this article on Everyday Feminism about women's secondary status in public places.

I know in my heart of hearts that I'm a trans woman and that transition is for me, but some times I feel like a total fake.'"

A sense of style can show the world who you are, but how do you figure out your own sense of style? In this episode we answer a listener question from Steph who asks "I am a primarily feminine non-binary individual, born male. How does one go about developing a sense of style for one's new self? I am trying to learn what feels right for me, but I do not have the education of someone that grew up female. Also, do you have any advice for growing a brand new wardrobe?" We'll talk about finding different looks, keys to a robust wardrobe, and how to have fun figuring out your own sense of style.

How do transgender people go about choosing a new name? In this episode we answer a listener question from Maddie. She asks "How did you ultimately decide on your female name?

Transposeur
Thursday Nov 16, 2017
Thursday Nov 16, 2017
It's great when cis people are trans allies. But can you screw up being an ally? Will people think you're trans if you join in the fight? Will you make it too much about you? In this episode we answer a listener question from Sarah who asks "As an ally, I worry about potentially falling into a cultural appropriation trap. Am I sending a transmission through some of these choices? I don't care whether or not people in general wonder if I'm trans, but, I also don't want to end up centering myself in the process. In other words...I don't want to be a Rachel Dolezal."
Check out wikipedia if you want to read to sordid tale of Rachel Doezal. Also here's the list of films featuring a "White Savior" narrative. In this episode we mention Callen Lorde Community Health Center, an LGBTQ health center in NYC that provides care regardless of ability to pay.

Am I Transgender Enough?
Thursday Sep 28, 2017
Thursday Sep 28, 2017
How do you know you're transgender or ready for transition? In this episode we answer a question a lot of listeners have asked. Do the thoughts and feelings I have make me transgender? What if I'm not ready for that? Am I really transgender enough to transition? Other trans people I've seen seem so much more advanced than me. On this episode we'll discuss how to deal with dysphoria and questions about whether transition is right for you.

Here's a link to the DSM V. This one's big and expensive. Don't buy it, but if you see it in the reference section of your library and have an hour to kill, it's fun to flip through. "Gender Dysphoria" is what we usually talk about on TGR, but the whole book is pretty cool, according to Kath.
