The Welcome to Gender Reveal, a podcast where we ask intrusive personal questions and hopefully

get a little bit closer to understanding what the hell gender is. I'm your host and

resident gender detective Molly Woodstock.

I'm back. Thank you all so much for your patience as I hiked through the wilderness and then came back and had to emotionally recalibrate to living in a

world with cars and Twitter and stuff.

Thanks again to Sarah Esakoff, Spoke Studios at SeriousXM, and Mac and Aave at Public Trans

for subbing in for me while I was gone. I hope that everyone enjoyed the episodes

that you heard. I certainly enjoyed them and I'm excited to continue sharing other trans and queer content when times when I need a break.

We have a heartbreakingly vulnerable episode for you today.

I love it so much and I cannot wait to share it with you, but first, as always, this show is sponsored by our

Patreon donors. When I got back, I sent out lots and lots of Patreon rewards all over the world

and I ordered hundreds of more stickers and a bunch of more envelopes and more global forever stamps.

So I'm ready for the next round of Patreon pledges wherever you are in the world.

I would love to take your money.

I would really love to one day make this my job instead of like an extra

bonus job on evenings and weekends but in order to do that I need your continued

support we're also still paying our transcriptionist to transcribe all the episodes and I need to get a website up and pay for that.

So, thank you so so so so so much to everyone who has pledged so far and thank you to everyone who continues to

spread the word about the podcast. It really helps so much you're the only way we

get the word out about the show and thanks for being here. Thanks for listening.

This brings us to this week in gender.
