The backstories of how each of you ended up here are very interesting and affecting. Looking forward to hearing the other ones.
Cori has become much more open about what he’s been through—watching or rather hearing this evolution has been moving.
BTW, I like to hear peaking stories—we all have different ones. How that nagging sense that something isn’t right then blooms into OMG this is crazy!
Re monomania: yes, this topic has colonized (to use current jargon) my brain! I can’t stay away from it. I’m obsessive about gathering more info, more perspectives. I wish I could just drop it, at least take a vacation from it, but I haven’t succeeded in doing that.
There’s another podcast, apparently about health, called Informed Dissent. I like Gender Home Companion—won’t be confused with another podcast and sometimes a bit of humor is a relief, especially about this topic.
For my two cents, let's abandon the word gender. For serious academic reasons, it's equivocal and gets reified as a thing when id argue it's an interaction, between a sexed person and culture. By itself it could literally mean 4 different ideas right now.

I don't get the joke. Maybe being a Brit? Or possibly an ignoramus! What's the humo(u)r in "Gender Home Companion"?
Prairie Home Companion was a long-running public radio show in the US (I grew up on it... Ben and Jamie seem to have fond memories of it too!)
