Welcome to Gender Reveal, a podcast where we hopefully get a little bit closer to

renditioning what the hell gender is. I'm your host and resident gender detective Tuckwoodstock.

Hey everyone, Hyderwell Hanging in there. This week we obviously do not have a new full episode,

but I do have another little taste of what's going on over at Gender Conceal, our monthly

bonus podcast, famously available exclusively for patrons and people who ask nicely.

In our most recent Gender Conceal episode, I chatted in person with a good friend of the show,

Maddie Lipchanski, who you may already know from Boys Weekend, The Nibb, Twitter,

Antifa Super Soldier cookbook, or multiple episodes of this very podcast. My full chat with Maddie

is about an hour long, and that's all available on Patreon, but Ozzy did a very heroic job

of chopping down the absolute chaos into nine seamless minutes of stuff that they felt was

appropriate and interesting for the main feed, and I sort of can't believe they left in us like

kind of trying to force Femme or Iville Peck, but left out like 15 minutes of us talking about

Steven Sahnheim. What do you mean everyone doesn't want to hear Maddie's review of the new

Swini-Tod revival at length? Or maybe they do, and that's why it's behind the paywall.

I do kind of feel like generally we, as a philosophy, pick the least juicy parts of the interviews

for these little previews, which is maybe counterproductive, but does make us feel like the paywalls

there for a reason, you know what I mean? Anyway, in this teaser, you'll hear us discuss what little

trans story cliches Maddie was trying to avoid when they were making Boys Weekend,

what it's like to put out a book in this political climate, how to support the folks that

currently or formerly worked at the nib, how transitioning unmoors your very sense of reality,

and just like a tiny little hint of the book that Maddie's working on next. And then if you

subscribe to hear the full episode, you will also hear us talk about the similarities and differences
