- "Being trans is awful" according to the media, governments, certain authors and ‘charity’ groups, but it’s not trans people sharing this kind of hateful commentary. As Ben Pechey, a LGBTQIA+ advocate and writer says, all this commentary is cis-people’s problem. What if, instead, being trans can be joyful - where trans joy isn’t revolutionary, but an everyday occurance? In this powerful and personal talk, Ben describes how and why trans joy can be mundane, individual and everyday - accessible to trans and non binary people right now rather than sometime in the future. Ben is a writer, presenter, content creator, LGBTQIA advocate, diversity and inclusion consultant and author. They have worked with major brands such as Manolo Blahnik, Condé Nast, Dr. Martens, the NSPCC, Virgin Atlantic and many more. They uplift and educate through media. They have had words in print and online for Cosmopolitan, Women’s Health, Diva and many more. Their debut book - The Book of Non-Binary Joy - was published in May 2022. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Brilliantly inspiring, joyful and a glorious human. We are so lucky to have Ben as our TEDx host two years in a row.
Rock bottom, let me introduce TED x to you. Ted will be staying here a while.
Thank you Ben, your book really helped me feel better about being non-binary, I hope that we all find joy, even those with hate x
You are not non-binary. Stop lying
But why not accept what you are. Is living in a fantasy really preferable?
If there is 'trans joy" is there also 'cis joy'?
Ben's dedication to spreading joy has been a pleasure to follow these last few years. I hope their talk brings many listeners a validating voice of support and acceptance.
Sit this one out
Benny Hill is ALIVE!!!
This is just so very inspiring . Well done for having such an amazing voice - I hope this gives people support, acceptance and understanding. More please!
😅 it's not
He might.
Such a refreshing and perfectly delivered talk. I hope everyone gets a chance to watch this, as it really opens hearts and minds. Thanks for this insight, Ben.
Imagine having 38.4 Million subscribers, but only 5-6 comments with almost no viewers. Because of how much people dont give a fk about these topics.
A shame really. The only people who NEED to see this are the ones who don't care.
I think most people would rather NOT stigmatise those with mental health issues, but equally, most do NOT want to see mental health issues normalised or even mandated!
@@toastiesburned9929 Nah man Im straight, if you catch my drift
@@mkaz3997 its a mental issue indeed
okay- let's talk about the dozens of other trans related TED talks with collectively millions of views, then
Absolutely wonderful x0x thank you!
No, not wonderful at all
A beautiful talk. And those shoes omggg
😂. A man in heels. Needs to stop
YIKES
You things are never going to be accepted.
Opening the talk with a passive-aggressive remark about JK Rowling, makes it hard to take you seriously.
Focusing on a passing remark rather than the overarching content of the talk makes it hard to take you seriously.
