This talk, published on 25 Feb 2015, was given at a TEDx event using the TEDx Talks conference format but independently organized by a local community.
- Why is my Gender Identity so important? Think for a moment about how you might describe someone.
- Now what if you didn’t know their
gender?- How would that change your description?
- How would it change their identity?
Rikki Arundel takes us on a journey into the world between genders to explore how we can break from the prison of gender identity.
