Welcome. 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. I hope you're still all hanging in there. This week on the show we're returning to our regularly scheduled programming not because anything is back to normal or

because I think anything should go back to normal, but because I do think it's

important to keep moving forward and I'll never be able to do that if I keep

stalling on releasing the last two episodes of this season.

So, this week on the show, we're airing our interview with Addison Rose Vincent.

Addison is an incredible non-binary advocate and also coincidentally is someone that I went to college with.

They were a couple years behind me, but after I left I kept an eye on all of the incredible activism they were leading on campus, and I'm so excited that they've kept it up in the several years since they graduated.

In our chat, Addison tells me what it was like being the only trans-femin on campus about rushing for sororities as a trans person.

Seven of the eight sororities on campus at the time had written bylaws that stated that women needed to be born women in order to be allowed into the sororities.

And they also talk about the double-edged sword of visibility,

about being a trans-feminine person with a beard, and about working at

Disneyland. What I did was I pretty much was like Mickey Mouse's bodyguard.

But before we get to that, just a couple quick things. First first of all thank you so deeply for your
