hello so on average it takes a person
about seven seconds to form an
impression of another person so by the
time I finish the sentence you would
one of the factors the contributes to
these impressions is what we’re wearing
I believe that we should feel
comfortable are closed and that closer
just close me out the labels ourselves
that’s why I created Katy clothing Co
Ireland’s first gender-neutral clothing
brand gender neutral is defined by being
suitable for applicable – or common to
both male and female genders I’m a firm
believer that gender is a spectrum and
we all live somewhere on earth and and
there should be closed to accommodate
you shouldn’t feel that I like this item
of clothing but I’m a woman and it’s
listed as men’s clothing so I can’t wear
it it seems to me that our ideas of
gender that are that we are evolving but
our ideas of gender are not to put it
like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
in 1990 Teresa DiLaurentis composed the
queer theory the queer theory suggests
that if Jenna’s sexuality and gender
weren’t predetermined then people
wouldn’t act a certain way there’s also
reason to believe that what we were and
whether or not we feel comfortable in
what we were contributes to our overall
there are many reasons why I created
Katy : comb in close cognition is one of
this the theories are spoke about there
are very little options for people who
do not conform to predetermine gender
norms is another and one of them is
because of the sustainable development
goals goal number five is gender
equality
I think we need to understand the
borders between gender that create the
inequalities before we can move beyond
them the inequality between men and
women for example has created Boyer has
Britt created borders for centuries and
it seems to me that we are moving beyond
these borders at a slower rate than
desired granted what progress is being
made recently we’re beginning to witness
further changes in our attitude
women are underrepresented in politics
in media in business and it’s like the
higher you go the less women there are
so it seems to me that we still need
feminism in today’s society so why is it
such a dirty word
one statistic that really struck me was
that only 9% of women identify as
feminists in the words of Christina on
many women thought of themselves as post
feminists feeling there is no need for
feminism since gender equality had
already been achieved but this wasn’t
really true and a lot of the fear by
calling yourself a feminist came from
the negative stereotyping of women as
to quote Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie again
feminism is limited by these stereotypes
and it is these stereotypes that are
damaging to the overall movement it does
strike me that only 9 percent of women
identify as feminists
but it doesn’t shock me because to
identify as feminists Europe by default
also identifying as aggressive a man
hater which is simply not true I think
that we need feminism now more than ever
the feminism movement is more diverse
than ever and is being fought by so many
people in so many different ways
it is because of this I feel so lucky to
be involved with shauna Dei
an organization founded by Tammy Darcy
that works to support young Irish women
and celebrate women from all over the
world it is these type of projects that
will change the way we view feminism now
I do feel that it is very important to
recognize the relationship between
gender neutrality and the LGBT community
I’m fairly certain that most of us will
in the room tonight will know what LGBT
stands for but it seems to me that we
don’t recognize the plus at the end of
that so why is it that we stop there
authoring is something I’ve learned
about some starting kt clothing
co-authoring is categorized is treating
someone alien to oneself because of a
difference as far as I’m concerned you
can’t invalidate someone’s gender and/or
sexual orientation then SPECT validation
for your own being gender neutral or
non-binary or gender fluid and many
others are often scrutinized and
discriminated against and I feel that a
large portion of that is down to
ordering that’s another reason why KT
clothing Co began
and I am couraging to people to
challenge the stigma around clothes
clothes are one of the first things we
notice about a person however there’s a
significant difference between noticing
something and judging it now I’m not
saying that you have to like absolutely
everything that someone would wear
that’s unrealistic but I’m saying that
you should respect a person wearing
gender-neutral clothing the same way you
would respect a woman wearing
traditionally woman’s clothing and a man
wearing traditionally men’s clothing
someone I once met told me the way they
described gender neutrality to the
people they meet so now I want you for a
second to visualize that you were the
only man or woman in a multitude of the
opposite sex imagine what that would be
like seven days a week 365 days a year
you were bombarded with wadis regarded
as normal
every day you’re on your own in an ocean
of people of the opposite gender and
this opposite gender dominates
everything from films to books
now for a moment I want you to think
about what your life would be like would
you feel happy sad oppress discriminated
against even this is what life can be
like every day for someone who
identifies as gender-neutral non-binary
gender fluid or many others excluding
some rare occasions they’re unable to
identify with the mainstream which is
cisgender and heterosexual and in in
front of you this evening to be in a
position to spread some of this powerful
valuable knowledge to understand people
who I do in counter gender identity
issues we must first either stand the
difference between gender and sex sex is
the biological end of things
sex is assigned at birth and is
determined by the reproductive organs
gender is your interpersonal perception
of yourself keeping this in mind a
transgender person is someone whose
sense of it– personal identity is not
correspond with their assigned sex at
birth says our cisgender is a term used
to denote a person whose sense of
personal identity does correspond with
their assigned sex at birth now I
believe that both of these words should
be used as adjectives being trans or gay
or genderqueer or gender fluid or
bisexual or aromantic it’s just a
figment of someone’s personality I
really believe the further of knowledge
meant of this fact will lead to better
overall acceptance and further education
that will come by their horrific
statistics we currently have in this
statistics of 2016 highlight that 70% of
LGBT teens aged 14 to 18 had seriously
thought of ending their own lives the
report commissioned by Glenn and
belonged to and funded by the HSE also
found that school is difficult a
difficult place for young LGBT plus
teens with only 1 in 5 feeling
completely that they completely belong
in their school and less than half
feeling that they have received proper
affirmation for their identity
I am glad to say that a more recent
consultation by the Department of
Children and Youth Affairs she was the
young lgbtq+ keeper who took part in the
consultation belief that Ireland is more
becoming a more positive environment
with one stating a more progressive
environment in Ireland is making it
so when I was writing for this talk I
really struggled with an ending partly
because I believe there’s so much more
that needs to be said so I am going to
leave you with this
what do you think the future would look
like if we didn’t impose needless gender
roles on our young people what can we
achieve if we live life as our true
selves imagine a world where diversity
and differences are celebrated and not
discriminated against
where people can really flourish is that
not what we should be striving for thank
you you
