Well, 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, Chuck Woodstock.

Hey everyone, hope you've all been hanging in there. You may have heard

In this condensed version of the episode, Sala and I talk about the intersections of Zionism and

transphobia, the claim that Jewish people are indigenous to Palestine, and the need to make up true things when writing stories about history?

If you would like to hear the rest of the interview, you can subscribe to gender conceal via Patreon.com slash gender and in that full version you will also hear us talk

I cannot stress enough that Saul's book Heavyweight comes out today, June 25th.

So when you're done with this episode, you can immediately pick up a copy at your local bookstore or request one

at your local library. Before we get going though I have a fun announcement I am
