When things come up, that that remind us that we are Transgender, and not cis gender.

Nate’s experience, returning to a workplace that he worked at pre transition. Listening to work mates remembering a pretty young girl, with the realisation that they were talking about him. Interactions with people from your past, how do you deal with disclosure. What level of disclosure do you think is acceptable.

Interactions with people from your past.

How you change throughout your transition, the death of the person that you use to portray, as you are developing into the person that you are.

That accidental disclosure of your past, in the company of people that have no idea about your previous gender, how do you deal with slip ups.

Nate and Kurt talk about testosterone injections and the recent experiences, the various types of HRT available and how each individual is affected differently.

The different regimes that FTM’s and MTF’s go through, no two individuals are the same.

Menstruation, erections and emotions, nothing is sacred.

As a transgender parent, children are far more accepting than people think. Children have not developed prejudices. As an 8 year old correcting an adults prejudice, “No Her Name Is”.

Eric discusses the recent launch of the “What Makes an Ally” project. The project has been put together by Ygender in conjunction with Transgender Victoria. What Makes an Ally project has received enormous support from the community.
