Queer Candle Co is a queer and trans-owned business making small batch, botanical topped,

soy wax candles. Look, here's the thing about me, my nose does not work, so I can't really smell

to get 10% off your first order. Learn more at QueerCandleCo.com or on Instagram and TikTok at QueerCandleCo.

Gender Conceal episode. Gender Conceal is the bonus podcast that we make exclusively for patrons,

and folks really seem to love last month's chat, which was with Morgan Givens, so you might
