Hey, it's Amara, and you're listening to the Translash podcast, a show where we tell

trans stories to save trans lives. I hope you're having a wonderful start to the summer.

We need this time in the sun to come together and revel in each other.

I know that I need it.

If we've learned one thing over the past year, it's that life is short.

So please take advantage of this time if you can.

Last week you heard about the new limited series podcast that the trans-lash team I are working on called the anti-trans hate machine, a plot against equality.

In it, we will be looking at the far-right organizations, opportunistic politicians, dark money, and extreme religious ideology,

driving the explosion of anti-trans bills this year.

At TransLash, we've been hard at work on this for over a year

and are putting the finishing touches on that series right now.

It launches later this month.

That's why today I'm sharing with you another podcast,

gender reveal, where the tables get turned on me.

I get asked the questions instead of asking the questions myself, and it's honestly a little weird. Because Gender Reveal's host, Tuck Woodstock, forces me to take a deep dive into my work and what brought me here, y'all.

But it was honestly, hands down,

one of the best interviews I've ever had. That's even though, Tuck made Mama work. So sit back

and enjoy our conversation. And remember to subscribe to gender reveal wherever you get your

podcasts.

Hey, it's Tuck. Before we get started, I just want to let you know that this week's episode

include mentions of trans death, including murder, as well as the concept of suicidality.

No details are shared, but please take care of yourselves however you need.
