Sis Normative Sex Shops Suck. Trans-owned Aphrodiceia Boutique is different.

They stock body safe sex toys and lingerie for all genders, as well as packers and binders,

breast forms and gaff panties, and books on sex, gender, and relationships.

Shop online at aphrodisia dot boutique and use the offer code gender reveal for 15% off your

order. Or visit their store in Port Orchard, Washington. 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 Tuck Woodstock. Hey everyone hope you've all been hanging in there. This week on the show I am so excited to share my recent

conversation with the one and only Salamatu Amabababee. Salamatu has been a great

friend of mine for almost a decade now and over that time it has been honestly

such a treat and a joy to watch him grow and

flourish both creatively and genderly. We first spoke with Salamantu on the

podcast three years ago and a lot has changed in his life since then.

So today on the show we talk about grad school, complicated top surgery feelings, and Salimatu's

high concept drag persona Barracuda.

Something's really gone wrong about it, so it veers into the vulgar, the perverse,

and it just hasn't quite figured out how to do sexy.

We also talk about the pros and cons of making earnest and vulnerable work

and how that relates to Salimatoo's first solo exhibition,

which explores the experience of becoming his father's son after his father's death.

My relationship to him is changing based on how I change after a point where he would have been able to acknowledge that change.

But before we get to that, just a quick reminder, our merch store is still stocked with Palestinian and Trans solidarity designs.

We've got three of those available till the end of the month.
