Summary
In this week's episode, Tuck discusses Black trans allyship, queer racism; why cops aren't your friends; and how this all relates to Pride Month. Then, we revisit our chat with storyteller Morgan Givens (he/him/they), creator of the critically acclaimed Flyest Fables podcast. Topics include:
- Becoming a Black man in America
- Cops(!!!)
- Why "objective journalism" is sometimes just white supremacy
- What nobody tells you about testosterone
- Is that how you spell pizza?
We've got LOADS of NEW, limited edition Pride Month merch at bit.ly/gendermerch. (Proceeds go to great causes like BLM, Black Visions Collective, and Trans Lifeline.) Email us at gendereveal@gmail.com if you'd like to contribute a design to the shop.
Submit a piece of Theymail: a small message or ad that we'll read on the show. Today's message was by Death Rattle Writers Fest.

| 0:00.0 | Well, Welcome to Gender Reveal, a podcast that hopefully gets us a little bit closer to |
| 0:19.7 | understanding what the hell Gender is. I'm your host and resident gender detective Molly Woodstock. |
| 0:27.0 | Hey everyone. I hope you're all hanging in there to our black |
| 0:37.2 | listeners especially if there's literally anything we can do to support you |
| 0:41.3 | financially, politically, emotionally now or any time in the future, please |
| 0:45.8 | do not hesitate to reach out to us. |
| 0:48.7 | I thought a lot about whether it was appropriate to post a new episode right now. |
| 0:52.4 | It's the first day of Pride Month, but our |
| 0:54.4 | scheduled guests for this week is not black, and it seems inappropriate to be talking about |

| 1:04.5 | a this weekend gender and then we're going to hear Morgan Gibbons talk about |
| 1:07.7 | existing as a black man in America, his many different experiences with cops as a |
| 1:12.0 | black trans person, why quote-unquote objective journalism |
| 1:16.1 | is often just white supremacy, and why testosterone maybe made him forget how to spell pizza. |
| 1:24.8 | But before we get to that, I do have one quick announcement about March |
| 1:29.0 | before we get started, which is that we have a bunch of limited edition pride month |
| 1:32.8 | March in the shop including things like a tank top that says non-binary |
| 1:36.3 | people can look however they want, a shirt that says |
| 1:38.6 | trans is beautiful real huge, a shirt that says no gender only |
| 1:42.2 | lizard real huge, and a mug inspired by last week's episode that says hey it's they |
| 1:47.4 | We also have a frankly iconic commemorative pride month design by Nico Stratus that I will tell you about next week, |
