**Gender Reveal**

Welcome to Gender Reveal, a t4t podcast that began as a deep dive into what exactly gender… is? Since 2018, the show has evolved into an excuse to chat with a bunch of smart, funny, hot people about everything from anarchism, abolition, and organizing, to parenting, literature, linguistics, kink, drag, film, horror, healthcare, immigration, baseball, wrestling, and decades-old community gossip. (But also, still, gender!)
