| 0:00.0 | Shopping for sex toys can sometimes feel overwhelming or dysphoric, but ShopNB.com aims to create a better experience for the queer, trans, and gender non-conforming community. |
| 0:09.0 | I was on ShopNB.com the other day picking something out, and not only do they have harnesses and dildos and vibes and plugs and lube and all the other stuff you'd expect, |
| 0:16.0 | they also have packers and dilators and STPs and other gender things, and they have a section called Homo Goods, which I eventually realized is a Jokun Home Goods very clever. |
| 0:27.0 | As you might expect, the whole website is Gender Neutral, which rocks. As a black and trans owned sex toy company, the cuties at ShopNB.com are sensualists with a mission. |
| 0:36.0 | 2% of all proceeds are donated to orgs focused on improving the lives of queer and trans people of color, and ShopNB is a carbon negative company so every sale funds renewable energy and forest conservation projects. |
| 0:48.0 | Visit ShopNB.com that's s-h-o-p-e-n-b-y.com, use the co-gender reveal at checkout to get 10% off, support our show, and bring more pleasure and affirmation into your life. |
| 1:00.0 | 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, Tuckwood Stock. |
| 1:31.0 | Hey everyone, hope you're hanging in there. Remember last week when I was like, so sorry, we have a secret mystery episode, you may never hear it, it may never see the light of day. |
| 1:42.0 | Well, here it is, baby. A lot sooner than I thought, but today we are chatting with Tobin Low, who you probably know from being the co-host of the podcast Nancy. |
| 1:53.0 | We recorded this conversation back in June and I am so glad to finally be releasing it. This conversation was not only just an absolute delight, but also I think a key opportunity for both Tobin and me to reflect on our work making queer podcasts. |
| 2:07.0 | That I think is like the fuck up or the regret in how Nancy was done and what I would do differently if we got a chance to do it again. |
| 2:16.0 | We also talk about Nancy's cancellation, racism and dating, getting gay married, whether as cis trans binary is a useful thing and are evolving opinions of masculinity. |
| 2:29.0 | I don't know, I feel like I'm beating up on masculinity here. |
| 2:32.0 | Before we get to that, just the quickest of quick reminders that we have a ton of new merch at bit.ly slash gender merch and also that you can support the show and sign up for our newsletter at patreon.com slash gender. |
| 2:45.0 | We have a They Mail message for you this week and it says the first Seattle Trans Beach Day is coming up on Saturday, August 21st. |
| 2:53.0 | We'll be taking over Seattle's Madison Park Beach and making an awesome trans space where we can be free and make all of the cis people uncomfortable. |
| 3:00.0 | This is a POC organized event and all trans, non-binary and non-Sys folks are very welcome. |
| 3:06.0 | We'll have so much free food from vegan tamales to super queer popsicles. |
| 3:11.0 | More information and updates at Seattle trans Beach Day dot com spread the word beep boop. |
| 3:17.0 | I talk will also add that I'm planning to go so if you go you may see me there in which case feel free to say hi or beep boop or whatever. |
| 3:26.0 | And now it's time for this week in gender. |
| 3:36.0 | So for a while now I've been toying with this idea of bringing in other trans folks to write this week in gender essays for us, particularly when there is a topic in the news that I don't feel like I am the best person to really do that topic justice. |
