- Schuyler Bailar is the first openly transgender athlete to compete in any sport on an NCAA Division 1 men’s team. By 15, he was one of the nation’s top 20 15-year-old breast strokers. By 17, he set a national age group record. Now he swims for Harvard University. Schuyler’s difficult choice - to transition while potentially giving up the prospect of being an NCAA Champion - was historic and timely. His story has appeared everywhere from The Washington Post to 60 Minutes and The Ellen Show. Schuyler chronicles his experiences on Instagram - @pinkmantaray - so others may explore his example in their journey.
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
He is an amazing person and true inspiration. I've been following him on IG for some time now and every single time his posts give me strength to push forward, to not give up, to hope for better tommorow. I was smiling throughout the whole talk, proud for him, and his achievements. Truly beautiful person, on the inside and the outside.
That's a woman
Absolutely inspirational, can't believe this doesn't have more views or comments. I love this guy, he's so wise. What an array of lessons to take away from this talk. Fantastic job!
One of the finest speeches I've ever heard! Well done, Schuyler Bailar!
Truly inspiring and he is so filling the shoes of being a role model for young trans ppl
He certainly is my role model
Terrific young man! So thankful he got the support and love from his grandparents and family.
Woman* and she’s not terrific
@@elizabethchwakanowski5067he is a man not a woman, I don't see why you feel the need to disrespect him
@@dylangarcia3898 and you’re deIusionaI and a Iiar
@@dylangarcia3898 She will never be a man.
success is not about winning. success is about continuously not giving up.
Lol. Dude has another video with the human rights organization where he tried to debunk myths about transgendered people in sports.
The 2nd myth he attempts to debunk is about it not being fair physically for transgendered woman to compete in women’s sports.
His only arguments are how in men’s sports, size and strength differences are celebrated. In women’s sports they are not celebrated and women are looked down upon for looking like men.
He says in rooted in transphobia and racism. He says nothing, absolutely nothing about the biological differences in strength, muscularity, time of muscle growth etc.
Moronic for that one.
Why did you block the comments on your trans women in sport CZcams video? I guess we really know why.
Such an inspirational ambassador for the trans ( my) community ❤.
this was so inspirational Im legitimatey crying
Amazing speech. Thank you, I got really inspired by your words.
This is very inspirational. This is a great message that you should keep going no matter what 🙌🏻✨
Love will conquer anything. Your family gave you the love that you have needed to conquer those challenging in your life.
We care what you have to say because it's not common knowledge. 🙂
I love this so much!!! He’s outstanding❤️😍😍😍😍💕✨
Who has their grandmother on fb??
im trans and an athlete , just comming out and its tarrifying
Yah, but you never stole a spot from a man on the podium or broke records by ridiculous lengths. Save Women's Sports.
Amazing speech!
0:27 HAHAHA
Of course it it was a trans woman, it would be totally unfair. Does he get that?
존경합니다
❤👍
All I can say is “Wow!” That was fantastic. I am still crying. You are the coolest and real man Thank you.
Good for whatever.
i’m a swimmer and i’m scared to come out
Hello,
First Lol...
You wearing your Fruit of the Looms I see
Is He woman before?
2 years late but yes! Trans man means female-to-male and Trans woman means male-to-female.
Sounds like people in your life just exist to appease you instead of speaking truth. In reality, when your bones are dug up a thousand years from now they will still know you are a woman, just as every person in existence could be catalogued as man or woman. You need help, I only blame your family which refuses to tell you the truth, and the people that promulgate delusion all in service to their own self interests (cue the self-righteous accusations of transphobia or some other -ism in the replies). Those who speak the truth are brandished as hateful. Those who are feeding to delusion are brandished as brave and beautiful. It’s time to wake up everyone.
Slay
He probably gave up his Olympic dream to transition. He probably had a good chance to go had he not transitioned.
yeah well being trans isn't a choice so
This is not fair to women !!!!
How so, he’s competing with men.
This woman openly promotes hormones and appears to have deals with pharma companies. Young kids see this and it's not appropriate. She also has tonnes of CRT ideology on her IG and has posted false information about police shootings. Not an honest, moral or admirable person at all, and kids should not be exposed to her!
6 months later, how are you feeling about him now? Also, hope everything is going well for you, with this pandemic and all
I was a trans kid with no representation. I didn’t figure out I was trans until my mid 30s. That’s when I felt joy for the first time I can ever remember. I would have killed to know someone else like me existed when I was little.
If transgeders compete, it would only be fair for them too have a whole category for themselves...
They're high on testosterone and other stuff....the other athletes aren't
Please educate yourself more.
@@alista4987 please educate yourself more...
@@danielm6871 Please educate YOURSELF more...
@@maraschwartz6731 a huh, biology exists and the earth isn't flat, just an fyi
@@maraschwartz6731 Please GET an education.
This girl acts way too much like what she did involved any sort of bravery.
Yeah sure only a cis man like you know about the bravery behind coming out as a guy because you were born with a d-ck. Must have been terrifying for you eh? I simply cannot imagine how your family would react. I mean, since when is being born with a d-ck qualifies for being a man?
Exactly.
This helps President Trump get re-elected.
How So?
From prison? Dream on.
@@royalpawness6707 Yawn
Completely ridiculous
