a couple of our gayest episodes starting today with our deep dive into You Know It, The

Gay Agenda. So listen or re-listen to learn all about our panics surrounding what amounts

to the queer Illuminati and their evil plans to recruit children to overthrow the government.

We're leading up to our Pride special on our new and dangerous American obsession, gender-revealed

parties. We'll examine what the fuck is going on with these events that have caused wildfires,

explosions, and even death. And we'll explore the history of gendered baby stuff in America

and go deep into the psychological reasons that this new national ritual has taken off so

profoundly on social media. We'll also hear about a little genderqueer Chelsea Weber-Smith

who is not quite a girl and not quite a boy and the gender revelation that many of us

have had in the last ten or so years as blue and pink are no longer cutting it. Until

then, get some background on the long, messy history that got us to where we are today

and enjoy one of our personal favorite episodes, The Gay Agenda, and look for more Pride

content throughout the month. The show will start right after this.

On this season, we'll be exploring the moral panics, urban legends, and conspiracy theories

that shape our psychology and culture and why we end up believing them. I'm your host,

Chelsea Weber-Smith, and this is American hysteria.
