Abigail Tetlow on TedTalk

In class we watched a tedtalk featuring a transgender person and a mother who raised a gender nonconforming child. They talked about their lives and how important it is to let people be who they are. The transgender speaker shared what it was like growing up and figuring out their identity, and the mom explained how she supported her child even when it wasn’t always easy. They explained how they utilized a queer camp to find themselves. The main point was that people should feel safe and accepted no matter how they express their gender. It was about kindness, listening, and letting kids be themselves.
