| 0:19.3 | understanding what the hell gender is. I'm your host and resident gender detective Molly Woodstock. |
| 0:27.0 | Hey everyone, Hope you're all hanging in there. This week on the show I speak |
| 0:37.9 | with writer and activist Nico Stratus about protesting the Toronto Public |
| 0:42.3 | Library making a podcast about trans-filed. about |
| 0:44.8 | trans voices coming out and accessing health care in a remote Canadian territory. |

| 2:00.8 | stuff will come back and some stuff won't. So if there's anything that you like, go pick it up in the next two |
