S2E4: FFS Part 1 - Before Facial Feminization Surgery

Early in December, my spouse had facial feminization surgery (FFS). The day before her surgery, we recorded a brief discussion to share with you about why she felt she was ready for it, if she was worried about how our 10-year-old son might react, and any other concerns she might have. As someone living with a transgender person, I now understand how important this step can be toward treating gender dysphoria.    Mentioned in this episode: Stanford Medicine: LGBTQ+ Health Program   Articles and Resources for Transgender Health: Global Resource: World Professional Association for Transgender Health  Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund: Resource list for Trans Healthcare Providers  UCLA Health: FFS Improves Quality of Life for Transgender People, Study Says  For medical providers: AMA - Creating an LGBTQ-Friendly Practice   More transgender families:  YouTube Channel: Great Scotts YouTube Channel: Jammidodger YouTube Channel: The Rage The Cut: My Husband is Now my Wife: Trans Women's Wives on Their Own Dramatic Transformations Chicago Tribune: Suburban Wife Loves the Person, Not the Gender, After Spouse Comes out as Woman   Information for allies: PFLAG Guide to Being a Trans Ally (PDF) GLAAD Tips for Allies of Transgender People National Center for Transgender Equality ally guide Human Rights Campaign ally guide   * * *  Get in touch, I'm happy to hear from you or answer questions.
