| 24 Mar 2024 | S2E9: Why Are You Still Angry? | 00:09:26 | |

In this episode, I offer a few ideas of where to start and it requires being willing to accept that it is time to make changes.

| 16 Jun 2024 | S2E15: Labeling Struggles | 00:06:40 | |
It’s Father's Day in the U.S. today and the first Father's Day post-disclosure was rough. Now, two and a half years in, it’s not a big deal but I still struggle with how to label my spouse when she’s not around. Is labeling my transgender spouse a “spouse” enough or is it necessary to add more or less? Here’s how I’m currently working through it.

Emotions and questions are aplenty when your spouse or partner comes out as transgender. Sorting through it all is complex and there can be conflicting feelings. You can be happy that the person you love has figured out this piece to themselves while struggling through the loss of what you had together. Compartmentalization could be helpful.

| 22 Apr 2024 | S2E11: Part 1 - The Transgender Bathroom Thing | 00:07:59 | |
The idea that a transgender person should not be permitted to use a public restroom that aligns with their gender identity is misunderstood and places the safety of a transgender person in jeopardy. This episode touches the surface from my viewpoint as someone who lives with a transgender person.

Telling your child or children that a parent is coming out as transgender is one of the scariest moments. There is a lot of fear of the unknown; so many questions and sleepless nights leading up to sitting them down to share the news. Two things I’ve learned: 1) how you and your spouse or partner treat one another will impact your child and 2) kids really are resilient. Mentioned in this episode and extra resources:

For the first time since my spouse began her transition two and a half years ago, she is looking for a new job opportunity.

The Summer Olympics just ended and I’m always impressed by the overall mental strength component that athletes have to excel at their sports.

This episode offers a glimpse of what it is like to be out at dinner or visiting our child's school as a family with a transgender person. There are a lot of raised eyebrows that range from the curious what-am-I-looking-at stare to the negative look of disgust. My tip: ignore people you don’t know and you’ll have a great time like everyone else. Kudos to allies who make life feel normal for transgender people ...as it should feel. Information for allies:

The term “trans widow” is one that I thought I related to at first... until I didn’t. It is actually quite transphobic and in this episode, I share why it doesn’t sit well with me.

| 16 Jul 2023 | S1E15: Perspective from a 10-Year-Old | 00:09:21 | |
Our son has asked repeatedly if I could interview him for the podcast and I always turned him down until now; transgender hate and misinformation changed my mind. It could be helpful to hear from a child how insignificant his parent’s transition has been for him. A helping factor has been that my spouse and I remain respectful of one another and keep our emotions and the deeper discussions away from our son. The result: my son supports his “other mom” with unconditional love. Mentioned in this episode:

My transgender spouse mentioned that she wants to be addressed as female at all times, including our past. For me, it doesn’t feel honest because I have only been married to a transgender woman for two years vs. 13 years with a male. In this episode, we chat about the issue from both perspectives and ultimately, there is no real solution except to take it case-by-case.

There are times when someone famous shows us their transphobic side or a transgender person makes poor decisions that come to light and they paint a negative image for the transgender community. Both examples actually had their moment in various news outlets this week and for those of us with a transgender partner or spouse, we may get caught in the middle of a fresh batch of transphobia. In this episode, I explore ways to respond.

Early in December, my spouse had facial feminization surgery (FFS).
