| 0:00.0 | Well, Welcome to Gender Reveal, a podcast where we ask intrusive personal questions and hopefully |
| 0:20.5 | get a little bit closer to understanding what the hell gender is. |
| 0:24.4 | I'm your host and resident gender detective Molly Woodstock. |
| 0:28.6 | Hello everyone, I hope you're having a nice holiday where you don't have to go to |
| 0:37.2 | work and know and misgenders or dead names you. This week on the show my gift to |
| 0:42.0 | you is an interview with LGBTQ advocate and diversity and inclusion professional Aubrey Chen. |
| 0:48.0 | Brie and I have been friends for 15 years, a fact that makes me feel absolutely ancient, but I invited her on to the show not because she's one of my favorite people on earth, which she is, but because she says a lot of smart and useful things. |
| 1:00.0 | Fun fact, a bundle of vaginal dilators, looks quite similar to a cartoon bundle of dynamite. |
| 1:10.0 | But before we get to that, I want to pass along an extremely cute offer from a dear friend of the show, as read to you by a different dear friend of the show. |
| 1:20.0 | Ho, ho, Trans Santa is here! |
| 1:24.0 | Being trans during the holidays can be hard, so if you're feeling alone, |

| 1:30.0 | or like you need a little family love, |
| 1:32.0 | message cool trans Santa at gmail.com or add us on Twitter that's c-o-o-o-l-T-R-A-N-S-S-A-T-A with your address, name, and |
| 1:45.0 | name and pronouns, and we'll send you a homemade gift |
| 1:48.0 | or a loving letter when supplies run out. |
| 1:51.0 | Additionally, if you or someone you know is in need of gender affirming gear such as a binder or |
| 1:56.3 | shapeware, or if you have gently used gear to give, send us an email and we'll connect |
| 2:01.3 | you with each other so we can help out our trans siblings in need. |
| 2:05.2 | Happy holidays and remember you are loved, valid in who you are and the world is a better place with you in it. |
| 2:23.0 | Chris Kringle, they then. As usual, this show is 100% listener-sponsored. Thank you so much to everyone who joined our Patreon and or our new Slack in the last week. |
| 2:28.8 | It really warms my little trans heart to see y'all take action to support the show and to build community with us. |
