Welcome to Gender Reveal, a podcast where we hopefully get a little bit closer to understanding

what the hell gender is.

I'm your host and resident gender detective, Tuckwood Stock.

Hey everyone, I hope you've all been hanging in there. As you may have guessed from the

title and length of this episode, this is not a full length. This is just me popping in

with two pieces of news and we are going to start with the bad news first.

So the bad news is that season seven is over. The last episode of the season was Carmen Riemuchado's

interview last week. And if you're wondering why I didn't tell you that in advance, it's because

I didn't actually know that was going to be the last episode. But I'm having a pretty significant

carpal tunnel slash cubital tunnel flare up and it's made it very difficult for me to work for

more than like half an hour a day. And it turns out in order to make podcasts, you have to work

for more than half an hour a day. And so I am going to start the season break early. I'm going

to attempt to actually take some actual time off to make my tunnels work again. And then in a couple

weeks, producer Julia Linus Goodman and I will start working on season eight. And I'm going to take

the extra content that was going to be the end of season seven and tack it on to the beginning

of season eight. So you will hear it eventually just not like this week. Again, sorry, I didn't

tell you in advance. I didn't know in advance either. This is very unexpected. The reason that I

can make the choice to end this season early and actually take care of my human body is because

my employers are a thousand people on the internet who donate to the Patreon every month and who

donate to the Patreon weather or not. I put out a specific number of episodes every month. I feel

so grateful that this is the situation that I am able to take care of myself. I don't know what

I would do if I had to just keep showing up and typing at a job. And so to everyone who supports us
