Christian BC ,

essential for gender

i’ve been listening to this podcast for so long and it’s been so fun transitioning alongside tuck and mckenzee

the advice episodes helped me come out publicly in 2019 and the duo are still at it delivering stellar and correct trans and queer advice

heath griff ,

I’m so glad this podcast exists!

That’s all.

Helped me understand my own gender as a cis woman

I started listening to Gender Reveal a little ways into the pandemic. Tuck had been reporting on the Portland protests and was featured on NPR where the podcast was mentioned. I started listening to Gender Reveal while I hiked up Mount Tabor or while I cleaned. As a purist, I started from the beginning, which I really don’t recommend. Things and opinions change over time. But I’m honestly so glad that I did listen to the evolution of opinion and discourse. It was the example of change and growth that I needed to ease my way into questioning what made ME a cis woman. I learned that I can be a masculine cis woman and not feel pressure to transition socially or anything. I learned that you can be an AFAB who’s nonbinary and still trans femme. Your identity is your own.

Thank you for helping this once kinda terfy masculine lesbian learn more about the trans community. My trans-masc future husband also appreciates you for this.
