YUH Episode 11 - LGBTQ with Jessica Brown

It is understandable in a world threatened by cyber attacks and identity theft that some people like to limit their internet interaction to people in their brick and mortar lives.  We don't feel that way.  Without the risk of venturing outside of your circles you may never get to meet some amazing people.  Lisa and I met Jessica Brown on an internet messageboard.  She is a decorated veteran of the National Guard, a trusted dba/technical advisor to a small company owned by her former colonel, a holder of multiple degrees,  an expert in the world of computer gaming who has contributed to a couple successful technical podcasts and online business interests.  Most impressively, she is mother to an amazing little girl.  Jessica Brown is our first trangender friend.  This episode focuses a lot on the topics of gender dysphoria, hormone therapy, gender reassignment surgery, LBGQT issues in the media and her personal life and some of the obstacles she has had to overcome during her transition.  We both know you will find Jessica an engaging, down to earth woman well worth taking the time to know.
Note:  Some of the language in this episode is explicit.  It is intended for mature audiences.
