Some quick time-sensitive announcements: 

• Our grant program is open for applications! If you’re a trans person of color doing rad art or organizing work, we want to give you $500. Head to genderpodcast.com/grant to apply, see a list of past grant winners, or learn how to donate to the program. But hurry, because applications close on 10/31. 
  
  
• Speaking of which, 10/31 is also the last day to shop our spooky scary seasonal merch collection! As always, all proceeds support trans artists and trans-led organizations. Check out all of our October designs (featuring vampires, skulls, weird birds and more) at bit.ly/gendermerch.
  
  
• The U.S. Trans Survey is open through November 21! Please take the survey and encourage the US-based trans folks in your life to fill it out as well. Available in English and Spanish at ustranssurvey.org. 

That’s basically it! Not sure why it took five full minutes to say that. See you soon for season ten!
