for the first 20 minutes of this conversation. So you won't hear me for a couple of minutes.

We do a modified intro. I'll pop up somewhere in the conversation when I finally figured

out that my recorder wasn't recording. It'll be fine. It works out in the end. It comes out in the wash, as they say. But because we might miss the introduction of Diana Anderson, I just want to say, author of In Transit and Exploration of Non-Binary Ident identity of July 2020.

Non-binary queer.
