| 0:00.0 | What? Welcome to Gender Reveal, a podcast where we ask intrusive personal questions and hopefully |
| 0:19.8 | get a little bit closer to understanding what the hell gender is. I'm your host and resident |
| 0:25.3 | gender detective Molly Woodstock. Hey friends, hope you're hanging in there. As always, it's a wild time to be |
| 0:38.1 | trans. I'm very stoked to say that this week's guest is the amazing Cardamonir, who I talked to about trans comics, |
| 0:44.8 | the intersection of transness and disability, coming out to a dying parent, and re-examining common |
