What? 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,

Tuck Woodstock.

Hey everyone. I hope you are safe and healthy and hanging in there. It is me, your friend,

Tuck Woodstock. Don't be fooled. New voice, new season, new me, baby. I don't know what that meant.

Anyway, this week on the show, we do not have a full episode for you. We are between season five and season six right now scrambling to get

back on track after the you know eight-month roller coaster that was a season five

plus pandemic plus protests etc. etc. So in that lull I want to bring you

part of the first episode of transcripts. Transcripps is a podcast from the

Treader Transgender Oral History Project.

It's produced by my very good friend Cassius Adair among other people.

In the very first episode which we're going to hear part of today, hosts Muriel Beam and Andrea Jenkins,

investigate how trans activists are grappling with the contradictions that even though trans-themed

TV shows like transparent and pose have achieved mainstream popularity,

trans people are still facing huge barriers to employment, housing, and safety.

And you know, many trans people of color are saying that their lives are even harder than before.

So we're going to hear how Murrell and Andrea and others investigate how trans activists

like Diamond Styles, Gabriel Foster, Dean Spade, how they're grappling with those contradictions and what they're doing

to change the system. You can learn more about the podcast at bit.ly slash transcripts pod where there

is also a transcript of the show transcripts so that's fun.

You can also subscribe to the show wherever you get this podcast.

Transcripts is funded through grants rather than public donations so you actually don't need to donate to the show instead
