| 0:00.4 | American hysteria is a podcast that explores moral panics, conspiracy theories, |
| 0:04.8 | urban legends, and fantastical thinking, and how they have shaped our culture and politics |
| 0:09.1 | from the Puritans to the present. After three seasons, American hysteria has covered topics ranging |
| 0:14.4 | from the Illuminati to the Gay Agenda, and yes, that does involve Tinky Winky. Using sociology, |
| 0:20.1 | psychology, biology, and storytelling, host Chelsea Weber-Smith is a non-binary poet-turned |
| 0:24.9 | podcaster who takes you down our strange American wormholes, presenting forgotten oddities of history, |
| 0:30.3 | and examining modern events and pop culture to illuminate the long-complicated path to our present |
| 0:35.2 | moment. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes horrifying, and sometimes even heartfelt. American hysteria |
| 0:40.9 | wants to understand why we fear the wrong things and believe in false realities, and what social |
| 0:45.5 | issues these distractions act to cover up. The four seasons will cover America's vehicles of hysteria, |

| 1:28.7 | Hey everyone, I hope you're all hanging in there. I know this week has been really rough for a lot |
| 1:42.0 | of folks. And while it doesn't fix systemic racism, I am happy to say that we were able to |
| 1:48.4 | distribute $1,400 in mutual aid on Venmo on the 17th to Asian American trans folks who needed |
| 1:55.6 | a little extra boost right now. Thank you to everyone who chipped in for that. |
| 2:00.0 | Anyway, this week on the show, we're showing my conversation with author and scholar Francisco |
| 2:04.5 | Jay Galarte. His new book, Round Transfigurations, explores the intersections of |
| 2:09.6 | genetics and transgender studies. Francisco and I talk about when to use the X and Latin X, |
| 2:15.8 | what masculinity even means, and why hate crime laws don't necessarily help trans people of color. |
