| 0:06.4 | The Anti-Trans Hate Machine, A Plot Against Equality, which is a podcast. But in order to make all |
| 0:12.9 | of that information much easier to understand, we've launched a new animated series based upon |
| 0:19.1 | the second season's content. It's our new anti-trans hate machine animated series based upon the second season's content. |
| 0:24.2 | It's our new anti-trans hate machine animated series. So head on over to www.org. |
