| 0:13.0 | Hello everyone and welcome back to Behind the Night. I'm Dan Sheists, one of the |
| 0:25.5 | Suritable Education Fellows here at BTK and I'm thrilled to bring you the fifth |
| 0:29.2 | episode of our collaboration with the Association of Outsurgeons and Allies. |
| 0:34.0 | Today we're continuing the conversation on gender affirming surgery and care, a topic we first explored |
