Toilets, bowties, gender and me | Audrey Mason-Hyde | TEDxAdelaide

[Irene-zbzv]

I am upset..

I can't see the flamingo socks.

[vanessared]

Dude... My first thought was ‘YOU’RE A WISERD HARRY!’

[sunishthanangal]

The most impressive thing was that all the people in audience were elderly.
It feels good, to see one generation trying to understand the other with an open mind.

[anjaliborschel]

"sometimes i'm glad people mistake me for a boy because I get to have real conversations" this was one of the realest things i've heard

THE TURN TO SLAM POETRY AT THE END WAS ICONIC

[clud]

Okay but can we talk about their curls-

“What do you think when you see me?”

My brain: a CHILD.

(Yes. The vine.)

[sarahkerr]

That last minute was poetry. Solid poetry. And solid poetry is incredibly scarce on the internet.

[LilDietz]

Regardless of stance, I think we can all agree that this kid is going places. So articulate and professional!

[queenvivi]

"Does it really matter to know someone's gender???"
good question.

[gerrybrown]

No one:...
Microphone: Yo, this breathing ain't loud enough, let's kick it up a notch

[beecool]

"Denounce Gender Roles, But Respect Gender Identity."

[ratthew]

seeing a female name in the talk's title and an androgynously styled kid on the thumbnail i thought 'yeah it's probably gonna feel like a walk through tumblr' but man was i wrong. audrey is more reasonable and articulate at their twelve than most adults i know. i cant remember the last time i was so imoressed by a ted talk.

[whatever-tkpp]

Bruh the first thing i thought was how is this 12 year old child literally giving a TED Talk and i am here doing nothing 24/7😌

[peterwalker]

I saw this talk live, and watching it again now makes me remember what a composed, articulate and nuanced talk it was. Awesome, Audrey!

[katshik]

I know this isn't the point of the talk but my first thought when seeing the thumbnail was "what a cutie"

[MechanizedPlant]

"what do you think when you see me? "
Me: mini human

One room Unisex restrooms would solve all the restroom problems. We transitioned to these in retail instead of having one large room with many stalls, we transitioned the stalls to one room stalls with privacy with each door opening on the outside walls. Solved all bathroom issues with this. Schools should do the same.

[allyssach]

They are beautiful. Everything about that talk is beautiful.
