What? Welcome to Gender Review, 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. Welcome back to our series of many episodes featuring the

winners of the inaugural gender reveal grant. Before we get started

just a quick reminder that we have a slack workspace specifically for gender

reveal listeners and other trans folks to hang out and create community.

It's like a Facebook group, except better, more organized, and you don't have to go on

Facebook.com. We've got like 65 people in there right now. It's real cute if you

would like to join there is a link in the show notes. Okay as you already heard our first

grant winner was Ray White the author of Milk Teeth and the creator of the

Enby Life Scene who we spoke to all the way from Queensland, Australia.

Today's guest is located more than 7,000 miles away from Queensland in Los Angeles, California.

Yeah, my name is Diego Drago.

I identify as non-binary.

Diego, who uses they-then pronouns,

is an advocacy specialist with Strength United Family Justice Center at California State University Northridge.

Strength United is a community agency that specifically serves LGBTQ plus children and adults

among other marginalized populations.

We're located in Van Nuys, California,

and we're a trauma center that sees survivors of sexual violence,

physical violence, and child maltreatment.
