brilliant. just check the comments & see how right Nina is.
Five years on and I still cry at the end of this speech. Truth.
She is right much of our history has been erased and that history does go back thousands and thousands of years. I really enjoyed her talk because she did it as a piece of political performance and theatre I guess is the mix it felt like to me. But yes she is right each interaction that a trans person has with a cisgender
on-trans person may be the first for the cisgender person, but it could be our 10th just that day and like the ten thousandth since we came out. So that really cracked me up when she said that. Great talk and many valid points and questions were raised <3
"I believe you can be witnessed to death." Profound.
Best Ted Talk I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. Hands down. So good Nina, so good.
This is powerful.
Nina so right this really touched my heart so true everything this woman said
she is a really good performer/ public speaker
She is very intelligent, a good performer and even if she is artificial, she has a special feminine beauty. Attractivity on a upper level.
I'm lookin at the comments and everything Nina has said is so true.
Strength, intelligence, wit, humor and stunningly beautiful.
OMG that was great Nina thank you for speaking up for us. And you are so right, it's so much easier to just stay home and not face the discrimination. You get so tired of the same disapproving looks, the can I help you SIR.
such a wake up...thankyou for speaking the truth.... we need it.
had mixed feelings thru it all but the end really touched me and i got a clearer view at the end.
one of the most powerful talks ever, deeply touched my heart and opened it.
Perfect Point, Perfectly Made. Thank You So Much Nina
Wow! When it ended I said that was really awesome, and realized I had a lump in my throat.
Thank you Nina. Your voice speaks my internal anger and my voice will be found.
This touched my heart and deeply inspired me as a trans youth.
A wonderfully powerful storyteller who mixes performance and critique.
