Episode XXXII: The Medical Stuff

For years, people have asked me what I would do when my daughter hit puberty. Was I going to let her do... the "medical stuff?" Well, right after the pandemic struck, so did puberty. And this is what my daughter (and her mother) decided to do.

Episode XXXI: M is for Middle School, Take Two

<p id="anchorXXXI"></p> <p class="">This 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. <strong> </strong><a href="https://gendermom.wordpress.com/2020/11/02/mom-learns-a-lesson/">(Here’s a little more about how this episode came to be.) </a> </p> <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > <img data-stretch="false" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5372a3bde4b04b1ccbd379dc/1603922459051-J32M0YXCTEQXYUSM6JPG/Take2.jpg" data-image-dimensions="2226x1123" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="" data-load="false" elementtiming="system-image-block" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5372a3bde4b04b1ccbd379dc/1603922459051-J32M0YXCTEQXYUSM6JPG/Take2.jpg?format=1000w" width="2226" height="1123" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 100vw" onload="this.classList.add("loaded")" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5372a3bde4b04b1ccbd379dc/1603922459051-J32M0YXCTEQXYUSM6JPG/Take2.jpg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5372a3bde4b04b1ccbd379dc/1603922459051-J32M0YXCTEQXYUSM6JPG/Take2.jpg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5372a3bde4b04b1ccbd379dc/1603922459051-J32M0YXCTEQXYUSM6JPG/Take2.jpg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5372a3bde4b04b1ccbd379dc/1603922459051-J32M0YXCTEQXYUSM6JPG/Take2.jpg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5372a3bde4b04b1ccbd379dc/1603922459051-J32M0YXCTEQXYUSM6JPG/Take2.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5372a3bde4b04b1ccbd379dc/1603922459051-J32M0YXCTEQXYUSM6JPG/Take2.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5372a3bde4b04b1ccbd379dc/1603922459051-J32M0YXCTEQXYUSM6JPG/Take2.jpg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> </figure> <p class=""><strong></strong>Listen to the book! <a href="http://adbl.co/HowToBeAGirl"><em>How to Be a Girl </em>on Audible Originals</a></p><p class="">Find us on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/girlpodcast?lang=en">@girlpodcast</a></p><p class=""><a href="https://www.patreon.com/girlpodcast">Support HTBAG on Patreon</a></p><p class=""><em>MUSIC CREDITS: </em></p><p class=""><em>“Edge of the World” (Instrumental) by Dot Dot Dot (Courtesy of Audiosocket)</em></p><p class=""><em>Filesharer's Lament by Podington Bear</em></p>

Episode XXXI: M is for Middle School

A long-overdue update on the life of my beautiful transgender daughter. She's almost a teenager. She's in middle school. She's still magical. (And middle school girls can still be super mean.)

Episode XXX: Emma at last

I want you to meet my good friend, Emma. When she was a little girl, she was just like my daughter. But no one knew her for 60 years. I'm so glad she's here now.
