Hey, it's Tech. Jumping in about for the show with a few things. One is that today's episode includes

frequent discussion of murder, police brutality, and death, as well as brief explicit descriptions

of sex. So please take care of yourself.

Another thing is that I had this entire episode all edited and ready to go and I was about to release it this

morning and I saw that the Supreme Court decision had come out and so I changed this

week and gender a little bit but you may feel like overall the tone of this

episode is more somber than you would expect for this day in history.

Finally the episode that I made with the NPR Podcast Life Kit will be out tomorrow.

So if you're interested in that, check the feed of NPR's Life Kit.

Okay, here's the show. Welcome to Gender Review, a podcast that hopefully gets us a little bit closer to

detective, Chuck Woodstock. Weird.

Hey every. weird.

Hey everyone, I hope you're all hanging in there, whatever that looks like for you. There is so much going on right now,

including, of course, the protests for black lives and

against police brutality the national discussion of finally abolishing

police and speaking of which I really hope that you listen to last week's

episode with videoya Irvind.

Vidya has so much to share about what it would look like to abolish police as well as

how to get involved in activism without being scared of not knowing enough or making mistakes.

It's an amazing episode and I really hope that you listen and share with your community.

Anyway, in addition to that, there are like three or four major news stories for trans people breaking right now. So today we're going to talk through a few of those news stories and then we're going to re-listen to our conversation from last year with Alyssa Pariah. This interview with Alyssa is relevant for so many reasons.
