Être transgenre: Au-delà de ce que nous savons | Stéphanie Alyson Gravel | TEDxMontreal


[Music]

hello my name is stefani allison

serious I am a trans person in

transition that is very involved in

the lgbt community and more

especially with an organism

who cares for trans people who

is called secu I’m here

today to talk to you about trans

identity

but before you talk about trans

identity I would like to tell you how

you and I grew up to become the

people we have today when

you were born there was a doctor a

his room

and when others who signed you a

like it was either a boy or

a girl according to what this

no one has to notice from your organs

genital

then we give you a first name

and then the pronouns that were

consistent with that was the

first leader in the united combes on the

head for you too as a

person in society

when you arrived at school to

primary

you’re seeing that when we came back

in a school group comply with

beliefs to the ideas of this group there

to have chances of success in

the beds a puck wrong when you are

arrived at adolescence

you noticed that there are

things start to settle in your

life in coaches be it language

anything else but also

gender identity

for example the m for males then the f

for feminine returned to adulthood

these rules have become for you

completely perfectly internalized

so much that it is extremely

difficult to think the world differently

that without these rules there I was born

in the seventies in these

years ago it was very difficult

to be a person with a

sexual orientation an identity of

kind or a representation his kind

different from the names the people who

was displayed differently was quickly

are often mac

or even in some cases of violence

since the most disturbing is that

that had been strengthened by the family

by the school and then by the

aliens then these people we

made the addip difficult life

without even noticing the trance

nativity is difficult to assume in

our society because it does exist

not it causes in people

trans that’s called the dysphoria of

kind 10 forest comes from the Greek and wants

say difficult to bear if the book

of a person becomes too difficult to

bear because of his kind that can

to turn into what’s called the

transphobia internalized transphobia

it’s being afraid of people

trans or to be uncomfortable in their

presence

so a person who lives from the

internalized transphobia that sense

extremely bad with herself and

Chathuant generate consequences

extremely serious

the strangest thing in all of this is that

trans people are not so

different from you it’s just that

it’s like a false start the kind

that he would have been assigned to the

defense they are like you these are

graduates of blue-collar workers

employees

employer employers month

mind I am parents of three children

and then I have outin metro job dodo

as maybe the majority of them

you

I listen to the same movies as you

possibly the same series

maybe with preferences

different and also I do little

near the same activities that you the

a trans person’s life is really

similar to your life when we do a

coming out

that is to say, we decide

to externalize what we are

interior

the trans person must be

aware that she needs to learn

to redefine itself in society

she knows very well that society

did not necessarily have the kind

of existence she wants to have

it’s really a reboot at all

levels be it level

financial

it can lead to serious losses

job losses and that

it’s at the administrative level like the

change no more all the paperwork

that it may imply that it is at

social level via some of our friends

the closest ones who can we

reject because we ‘ve become trans

even that can be the same thing

also at the family level and in full

other levels

it’s not a choice to be years old we are

then the only choice we have as

trans people

it’s smoke or not often the

coming out

it’s an ultimate choice between life and

dead for the trans person now

it’s really difficult for a

person who is not transmitted from

imagine or get our

square

in fact it’s unimaginable all the

problems the little things in life

that can become complicated just

because we are trans for example me if

I decide to call the bank for

check my account

bank

it may be that the attendant who is

the bank

when I say my name is stefania

leeson with the voice that I have

the checks a little bit

excessive extra wells if I

want to go on a trip to customs

it can be the same thing I can

even in the worst case make me

accuse of over identity passion more

daily

if I decide to go out

from a full day to

outside I have to plan

destroyed as banal as toilets

neutral to avoid going into

gender toilets and because he

could happen a guardian of

security that get me out of the toilet

feminine even though I am a woman but

of trance origin

so how does that happen with

our company is that France does not

quote is not part

in fact not part of our society

it’s something that is not managing

at all in society so how

we must act before a person

trans cancon and not on how

to address in fact that ‘s what

you ask him tell him you have to I

to address you to the feminine at

masculine or otherwise

forget the identity papers keep

in the head that the trans person in front

do not try to fool you or to

hide anything hr game that’s

projected on the outside this case the to

inside so nature does not do

of difference between the culture the

class where the language the trans people

are not strictly defined by

their gender identity

they are as diverse as the

majority of the population

when you know on earth there are

several threats to humanity the

wars the social inequities and

climate change can reassure you

that transidentity is not a

threat to humanity itself

personally I think it’s a

part of the solution accepted even

measure is integrated the difference

in our society can only us

enrich

as a society always kept

in mind that in the end we and your

coworkers and your neighbors

you and your cousins cousins your brothers

your senses your parents your children one is

like you because so much
