| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Gender Reveal, a podcast where we hopefully get a little bit closer to understanding |
| 0:20.0 | what the hell gender is. |
| 0:22.4 | I'm your host and resident gender detective, Tuckwood Stock. |
| 0:30.0 | Hey everyone, hope you're all hanging in there. |
| 0:36.6 | Welcome back to Sistay of Visibility, a bit that arguably went too far. |
| 0:43.0 | For folks who are like, hey, Tuck, why the hell are you talking to cis people? |

| 1:21.7 | Sam and I chatted about pushing the limits of NPR's objectivity rules, which you know |

| 1:27.3 | I think for a long time, newsroom leadership was convinced that if a place like NPR was |

| 1:39.0 | We also talk about balding solidarity, the cis gay use of girl, and creating space for |
