Well, 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.

Hello everyone and congratulations on making it all the way through 2018. I know it's

really fucking hard to be a trans person in the world right now but you did it it, you pushed through, you made it, and I am so, so proud of you.

This week on the show, instead of doing the usual format with the intro and the

this week in gender in a long interview.

I'm sharing three teeny tiny stories about our three gender reveal grant winners.

They're all from very different places in the world.

They're all doing very different work, and I hope you'll stick around and listen to all three of them.

Before we get started just a quick reminder that these grants were all 100% funded by

Patreon donors who also pay for my editing software,

transcription, hosting fees, everything else we do

to make the show happen.

You can start 2019 on a high note

by supporting Transmedia at patreon.com slash gender.

Our first guest this week is poet, writer, and zenster Ray White, who uses they than

pronouns. Ray called in all the way from Queensland, Australia,

where it is currently summer.

It is hot.

It's like a small sauna in here.

Queensland's great. I mean, I went to. small sauna
