We continue our discussion of George's mental health care over his life, from his first access to anti-depressants during grad school, through to more modern behavioral, somatic, and pharmaceutical strategies that have helped him.

CORRECTION: At 17:35, Jess references a book that should be correctly titled "You Are The One You've Been Waiting For", not "looking for".

George has lived with gender dysphoria and major depressive disorder for most of his life. In the first of a three-part discussion about all the therapeutic methods and treatments he's engaged with, we discuss his youth and young adulthood and the supports he was able to access at that time in his life.

We went to a friend's gay wedding, saw another friend, and hung out with a bunch of weird straight people. Or maybe straight weird people. Or maybe we're being redundant.

We live in the american inter-mountain west. Many queer and trans folks, as well as members of other marginalized communities, have had cause recently to consider emigrating from the US, so we discussed some of our friends' and acquaintances' stories, as well as our current mindset on this topic.

Some months ago, we gave our adult children a set of expectations they needed to meet in order to continue living with us. They did not meet the expectations, so we needed to enforce the consequences, but we still care about them, so we tried to be kind in doing so.

The second part of this story follows next week!

Cousin Vinnie was over as they prepared to take George to Hawai'i on vacation. We discussed their recent adventures in gender, being about as far into their nonbinary transmasculinization as Jess is, but living in a much bigger city, but neither possessing nor desiring passing privilege.

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.

As the LGBTQ+ community is increasingly under fire in western society, and trans folks in particular are experiencing a marked increase in legal and social marginalization, we talked a bit about our experiences finding safety in community across time and place, prior to the turn of the millenium.

George's shoulder surgery went better than expected, although being an 'old retired guy' everyone wants to talk about injuries and ailments. While he recovers we're preparing for Child#2 to turn 18 and move out, with strongly mixed feelings.

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. George especially finds it challenging while also dealing with repeated illness and injuries.
