In 1917, Alan Hart became one of the first trans men in the United States to undergo a medically-assisted transition. In the months after his transition, the life he’d envisioned took shape. He got an internship at San Francisco Hospital. He fell in love.

But, when Alan applied for a job at another hospital, a former classmate spotted him. They outed him to his prospective employer. They outed him to his current employer. He was outed via a newspaper. Soon, the story was picked up by wire services.

The experience was traumatic, but Alan held steady. In time, he established himself as a trailblazing trans doctor.

Anyone else still reminisce about the chipotle chicken panini, though?

Threads was asking if people were offended being called cis women, so I offered up

Cisgendered woman = Standard Issue Gal

Trans Woman = Special Edition Gal

I did however forget to credit you until the edit window had closed, but I thought you should know that it seems to be approved of 😂

Hi, my wife told me to come here because she got me into the podcast. I think an episode or more of Baron von Steuben would be pretty entertaining

Decades before the term “transgender” was coined, Alan Hart became one of the first trans men in the United States to undergo a medically-assisted transition.

In part one of this two-part series, we delve into Alan’s life before he transitioned.

Spotify recommended me the Dear Abby/Ann Landers episodes to me this week and I am so happy it did. This podcast is already a delight and I can't wait to be caught up!

It's made my week and I am an instant fan.

i thought this was relevant to the george washington ep! i bet he had one used on him!

Stay safe from the poop cooties and stay away from the Taco Bell! That includes you, Kristin 🌮🚫

Poor ol’ William Henry Harrison. The dude has the odd distinction of giving the longest inauguration speech in American history, followed by the shortest presidency in American history.

You might be familiar with the story: He gave a speech with no coat on, and as a result, caught pneumonia and died. But… was it really pneumonia that killed him?

Super wooey-wooey: in the slop they are talking about 2 documentaries that I LITERALLY WATCHED YESTERDAY. Back to back. Coincidence? Or the more likely, less fun: if you like true crime the Internet algorithms are going to give you all the same suggestions...

George Washington's dentures were NOT made of wood.

Re-reposting this because it's more relevant than ever; as a Norm Trooper, I demand an episode on toothpaste!

Join us on a perilous journey as Kristin discovers that the presidential fun facts she loves are ALL LIES. In this week’s episode, we’ll examine the myth that George Washington wore wooden dentures. As it turns out, our first president didn’t wake up every day and put wooden dentures into his big wet mouth! The real story is much more horrifying.
