What a journey it has been to navigate healthcare for Lenny and Mardi thru these last, almost 100 collective years!

Lenny talks about meeting progressive doctors in the 1970s, while Mardi's shares surviving the more common and dangerous DIY journey of the streets for transition needs.

They also discuss ageing and trans healthcare and how they are still teaching the medical establishment because not many of us survived this long.

They have a discussion on the importance of gender-affirming care, and the challenges faced by trans youth today. ie., legislative issues in Alberta and the U.S.

Happy 2026 everyone. Be kind to your mind, stay close to the ones that lift you and hang on, we think it's going to be quite the Year!

In this shorter holiday episode Lenny and Mardi discuss the importance of sharing personal stories to combat misinformation and the documented tactics used by anti-trans groups.

Through humor and candid reflections, they highlight the ongoing struggle for acceptance and understanding in society.
