Welcome to GenderReveal, 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.

Hey everyone, hope you're all hanging in there.

This week on the show, I'm really excited to share my chat with Chase Strangio, who you surely already know as the trans lawyer involved with many, many landmark trans rights cases in the US over the past decade.

In this episode, we talk about how biological sex only exists in the law to exclude trans people, what new legal horrors are coming down the pipeline, how to stay updated on all of those legal battles without constantly re-traumatizing yourself, and how sometimes the most helpful thing you can do is just try to have a good time.

The more we share and express our joy, that's actually a political counterpoint to what they're actually saying.

State of the end of the interview to find out why Chase's kid is my personal gender hero.

But before we get to that, quick reminder that this is the last week to grab stuff out of our merch store for at least the rest of this year.

So if you're hoping to do some gendery holiday shopping that also supports trans artists and trans organizations, head to bit.ly slash gender merch through November 30th.

And now it's time for this week in Gender.

So, hilariously, after talking about the Olympics on two consecutive episodes, we have been hit with enormous Olympic gender news, which is that the International Olympic Committee released new guidelines that suggest against requiring specific testosterone levels or medical procedures in order for trans and intersex women to compete as women.

And even though that is exactly the type of news that this segment was made for, we are not going to talk about it because it is simply too much Olympics.

So we will put a link in the show notes if you'd like to read about it, maybe we'll revisit it later, but for now, we're going to talk about something that is much less consequential and much more annoying.

Last month, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a flurry of 770 state bills into law.

And at least one of those bills has incited a new moral gender panic among conservatives.

Bill 1084 requires large retail stores in California to create gender neutral toy sections.

And the question you may be asking yourself is, I didn't ask for this, who asked for this.

And the answer is, some guy named Evan.
