A Few Words of Support: How Do We Live Through That iffy Messy Middle?

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2239555/open_sms] A Few Words of Support: Living Through That Iffy, Messy Middle S2, E4 This episode is a little pep talk for anyone stuck in the “??? phase” of life. You know — the in-between season where nothing is fully wrong, nothing is fully right, and everyone keeps asking “So what’s next?” . I share a few honest, comforting thoughts from the middle of my own limbo — about waiting, trusting the process, and learning to breathe while things are still under construction. No life hacks, no toxic positivity — just real talk, humor, and a reminder that you’re doing better than you think. 🌀✨ Check out the Queer Carter Podcast, and please leave a ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!  Show links below: https://queercarterpodcast.buzzsprout.com [https://queercarterpodcast.buzzsprout.com/] https://www.thepostcolorado.com/news-item/you-do-you/  Some of My Favorites!  Max McKnown [https://open.spotify.com/artist/340PS4ZcZ4UCBgyrXzEjcp?si=W_IFCXYpQhCH7iee99JmFA] on Spotify!

This is Wrong: One Trans Guy’s Lived Experience with Social Security, Name Changes, and Gender Markers

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2239555/open_sms] #8 This one is for you if you have been struggling with your own Trans identity and the desire to claim your name on your social security card, driver's license, and the important documents that support claiming your true and authentic identity. Today I share my lived experience going to the Social Security Administration with a legal court order to change my name and a request to update my gender marker with the U.S. Government. Join me as I share my own painful experience with a SSA government official, how it impacts me as a Transmasculine person, and my thoughts and contemplations as an American and Transgender person. I also comment on where I have been as a host and the future direction of the Queer Carter Podcast!  Check Out The Queer Carter Podcast @queercarterpodcast or https://queercarterpodcast.buzzsprout.com [https://queercarterpodcast.buzzsprout.com/] If you feel drawn to this episode, please leave a ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!
