00:00 Opening
01:00 Introduction and to what I’ve been up
- I have a cool job
- I didn’t win NaNoWriMo again
- I’m in another podcast novel
- I’m taking classes again in the spring
- I got a dog over the summer
05:07 Question: “Why bother with transition?”
- It’s either worth it or it’s not
- Only you can decide for you
- You can’t use logic to get rid of dysphoria
- Sex is not Gender is not Gender Expression is not Sexual Orientation
- Wear what you’re comfortable in, regardless of gender
- Transition doesn’t make you your gender, but it can help you get recognition from society as your gender

Hey, we met at Balticon! I listened to this episode and you asked for questions…
Are there age-appropriate resources for kids (but not specifically aimed at trans kids) about trans issues? I found a lot of anti-bullying and general acceptance stuff, but nothing that is aimed at a general audience for *educating* kids.
Hi Shay! Good to see you here. Thanks for the question! I will do some research and see if I can find some of those resources to share.
