Episode XXXII: The Medical Stuff
42m · PublishedEpisode XXXI: M is for Middle School, Take Two
0s · PublishedThis episode is different from any of our previous episodes. It’s also a do-over, because the first version of this episode overlooked the fact that my daughter is growing up, fast. She’s almost a teenager, and we both agree that it’s time she took charge. So that’s what she did. (Here’s a little more about how this episode came to be.)

Episode XXIV: Moving & Marrying, Part III - New School
0s · PublishedMy daughter starts fifth grade at a new school next month. It's a fresh start, where no one knows that she's transgender. How do I handle this? How do I advise her? Should she keep her transgender status to herself or be more open? At the end of this episode, I'll be asking for your advice: What should I do?
