Abstract: A well known piece of folklore says that it's not possible to give fermions in a chiral gauge theory a mass without breaking the gauge symmetry. This folklore is wrong. I'll demonstrate this by showing how to give one generation of fermions in the Standard Model a mass without breaking electroweak symmetry.
