it’s great even a corner if so what
differs it from other corners that are
not black or white what associations do
we have regarding the hunter green if we
associate three as symbolizing
morality and breaking that they gotta
meet between black and white what other
colors do more just distance it do more
justice in representing the space of
this gray area and I think you know
where I’m heading with the slag yes I’m
about to give you a glimpse of my mind a
mind cradle so my understanding of a
world overall that is colorful but is
challenged by another full of dullness
a world that is diverts but this silence
where another a wonderful stereotypes
and notions
yes I am I’m about to you are about to
enter a place you’re told you’re not
supposed to explore and yes you’re about
to listen to a story that might be quite
different from yours but this story does
not mean it does not it is not valid
then would you say yes to learning what
lies beyond the stereotypical man in
stereotypical moment and listening to my
gendered experiences if so then I must
carry on but before anything I am NOT an
expert on gender my knowledge of the
subject matter is going limited however
the good news is I live in I wake up
every morning
somehow dreading to go to public places
well some stare at me with a puzzled
look wondering perhaps if I am a man a
butch lesbian where the just an
androgynous looking fellow others call
me sir at first then within realized
that I might not be one the easterly
retracted through the back there was a
time I remember I I it was mine
story and that this year was like serve
an appointment mode funny but awfully I
also recall during a morning walk
a security guard would see good morning
by the board sir good morning sir two
people in front of me in the light when
it was my third she was not so short so
she just said good morning book okay but
still awful
oh are you also now produced what am i
well I’m a transgender man trans man the
simple explanation is that I was born
female I was raised to be a guru I
attended an exclusive her olga exclusive
her girls school for 13 years but ever
since I could remember I would dream of
myself as a boring a man who would
someday love a woman be the person who I
want to be and not just be who others
expecting to me I hope from the very
moment that I had a grasp of this room
but I I hope I am and hoping that others
could also see me as a man I constantly
wish that when I come out people and say
and trans or simply I’m a man they could
take me seriously and not your
spiritually
some stories of trends are are similar
to the neutral
not trapped in a woman’s body or a woman
trapped in a man’s body but this is not
the only narrative of tracks transgender
people Nexus gender individuals we do
have our unique stories and we have our
own narratives envisioning a strats
London
you may be wondering at this point if
I’m trans if I am a man why do I still
look in somewhere they mainly sound like
a woman who dresses just like a
stereotypical man this is not either me
I met someone who I thought was
considerate enough understand because
she is part of the LGBT community so I
said to her and tracks and she goes like
what then you take hormones and I said
no because it’s not requirement and just
stared at me looked at me and said no
because if you’re trans then you take
forward and hormones and then later on
after surgery I was taken aback I
couldn’t I couldn’t I don’t know what to
say but as I reply I said you know
coming out the strength is not just
about medical transitioning you have
what people social transitioning
just uh convinced as if I was dying
and thank God we never saw each other
again
so again if you didn’t get that I is
socially transistor i social in transit
fun but this does not make me less of a
trans or even less of a man
generous complex it’s not my people
avoid it yes I have the reason why
people this spicy it’s not what makes
people freak out when they talk about it
is that what priests they want to toast
when they hear it it’s not my people
simplified this very complex discussion
is to tune into concepts man Edward and
why are you these two concepts are
further simplified by describing things
through the other preferences
educational jobs for years tours song
voice bags jewelry watches background of
special products attitudes out of
behavior life choices words habits
gestures mannerisms etiquette etc to man
and the woman thus creating a strong in
seemingly factual neutrons of a man in
the morning when I think of the strength
I was strong will to break these
stereotypes I wanted I wanted people to
broaden the response of man and woman so
far do you mean this is the reason why I
do not consider immediately
transitioning perhaps right now
I said this bathroom is way beyond me
and my struggle spells over the
struggles of others who deep part of a
society which is not accepting of those
who live beyond the stereotypical man in
stereotypical woman I was thinking
I was thinking if I lived in then I give
it to be interested a stereotypical man
I want others to see that there are
different ways of being New York that
you could be both masculine and feminine
at the same time where you to know it’s
that they’re comfortable with going to
places without the threat that people
might call your fate but it is possible
for a man to be born female that it is
possible for a woman to be born me that
a man can love another man and the woman
for another woman that there are those
who don’t identify as man or woman but
there are those who are attracted to
people regardless of sex and gender the
people have different preferences and
choices that transgender are not
delusional all sexuals are not sexual
deviants in that gender is stupid and
not cast in stone
but as I live my life as trans I was
only exposed to a dilemma a social
reality a battle between personal and
societal I wanted people to understand
that in spite of my female features I am
still a man in my workplace for instance
I have this constant struggle of moving
to others the high demand and I prefer
male pronouns titles end but influence
on who buried these women I succumbed to
stereotypes and gender biases to belong
and to show that hey I manage do you
know it’s often very variable in order
to achieve personal comment for myself I
had to join the bandwagon of their brand
of masculinity and that I had to avoid
showing any signs of weakness and
feminine
it’s offered and it feels like I
betrayed myself and all of that I fight
for it however as I become conscious
again and regain my sanity I try to
resist the closure and system I try to
educate them and let them understand
that men can be feminine women are not
second-class beings femininity is not
alcohol to being weak feminine men are
not always gays and lesbians are not
always masculine or have fur cares
that we should not make fun of days
because they too are humans and what
makes them less over you our viewers if
they like rights but the struggle is
real
trying to solve the problem of how to
not not be the penis while avoiding
alienation is rejection from others I am
successful at diets but at some points I
don’t feel I realize you can’t expect
someone who has been for to see the
world as a world only for male born men
and female born female who follow
genders gender norms to be able to
understand and grasp this notions the
strange notions of gender it needs
constant relearning of things that they
are so familiar with that they think it
is law and cast in stone the challenge
is to keep on trying great though
difficult it’s always worth the try
isn’t it
frustrating sometimes but rewarding with
some changes on the other hand I also
realized it’s not just unloaded and live
their efforts to break stereotypes and
teach them and these are others that
gender is not black boy it’s always a
two-way street you on the other hand yes
you those who think gender is simple
gender is a done deal and that gender
issues are not as important as salary
issues health concerns education peace
security economic development etc who
also share the burden of making this
world a society for all humankind a
society where ever you make whoever you
may be
and whoever you may love people are not
box to certain expectations and notions
of how to live in life and how to be
themselves as we help you understand our
struggle we also expect you to do turn
share and reconsider your biases which
manifest in discrimination and unequal
treatment of others we were thought that
we were born either male or female which
automatically makes us man or woman but
look if these seemingly factual no
tracks are not always the piece
what if there goes for both female and
male what is there those for female but
girl off being a man what a woman falls
in love with the transgender woman what
if for whatever boy loves does but is
not gay
what if a person is neither man nor
woman these are not what if a new word
organic counterfactual these are
realities realities we cannot discredit
just because we don’t understand them we
don’t experience them or simply because
we are taught not to entertain such
thinking if we are truly truly looking
at what lies beyond black and white then
we should be looking at a wide array of
possibilities and exploring them with an
open heart it’s not just about looking
into what we already know
and trying to reinforce them
extraordinary area or what I would
prefer as a portable area
is trying it it’s very good is there is
to go beyond what we already know and
what we think are facts of life that
cannot be altered as humans we are to be
feared we have this fear of the unknown
as a song goes we don’t like what we
don’t understand it’s in fact it scares
us I think the challenge for us is to
try to know the unknown and to convert
our fear into love as I end this simple
thought I want to leave you with this
beautiful lyrics of a song that you may
know I see your true colors and that’s
why I love you so don’t be afraid to let
them show their true colors
your true colors are beautiful
[Applause]
it’s great even a corner if so what
