- A mesmerizing and powerful talk on Identity by Dr. Marci Bowers at TEDxPaloAlto.
Marci Bowers, M.D. of Burlingame, California, is acknowledged as a pioneer in the field of Genital Reassignment Surgery and is the first woman worldwide to hold a personal transgender history while performing transgender surgery. She is also the first US surgeon to learn the technique of functional clitoral restoration after Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
Dr. Bowers is a pelvic and gynecologic surgeon with more than 26 years’ experience. She is a University of Minnesota Medical School graduate and former class and student body president. Her Ob/Gyn residency was at the University of Washington. She continued in Seattle as an Obstetrician/Gynecologist at the Polyclinic and Swedish Medical Center, then joined Dr. Stanley Biber in Trinidad, Colorado in 2003, redefining US transgender surgery. She gained expertise in FGM clitoral restoration from noted French surgeon, Pierre Foldes in 2007-2009. Dr. Bowers relocated her surgical practice to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2010.
As an international authority on clitoral reconstruction, Dr. Bowers is sought after as a speaker and worldwide surgical educator and has been featured in numerous documentaries and news features including the Guardian, BBC, Times of London, Esquire and many others. Dr. Bowers is a member of WPATH, and serves on the board of directors for both GLAAD and the Transgender Law Center. In 2016, she joined the faculty at Mt. Sinai-Beth Israel in New York to establish the first transgender surgical educational program in the US . Her transgender work has been highlighted by appearances on Oprah, CBS Sunday Morning and Discovery Health. Dr. Bowers was recently honored as one of the 100 most influential LGBT people on the Guardian’s World Pride Power List and also recognized as one of Huffington Post’s 50 Transgender Icons.

This Man should go to prison for what his done to children.
He will.
0:25 "I am a woman" not even 30 seconds into the video and already we are lied to
You are brave, I will give it to you.
Define “woman”. I’ll wait.
@@AllieMetcalfgoogle Menstruation + Ovaries + Uterus + Cervix + Fallopian tubes + XX = woman
@@Vekikev1 you know that falls short, right? Im guessing you simply dont care, eh?
You are correct, she should have said "a great woman". But I guess she was being modest.
This woman stated that trans kids surgery is appropriate.
Let that sink in
This man is not a woman. Don’t be fooled. Doesn’t matter if he “passes”
That's not what she said 🙄
@@Kaylakaykay1997 he want everyone to be okay so he feel better about himself he is a man that doesn't know what is women ?
@@Kaylakaykay1997 You might want to watch the show “I am jazz” or look up clips on UA-cam cus that’s exactly what this person does. They perform those surgeries on minors. That’s literally this persons job.
@@Blondee_Baby_USA Um no I did watch I am jazz first those aren't to relieve gender dysphoria which is medical reason second jazz wasn't a minor 🤣 so go off
That's a man.
What is a woman?
Not Marci. That's for sure.
@@esval3054 Yes she is
She IS woman. She IS brave and amazing
@@Kaylakaykay1997 …. But he’s just literally not though…
@@MrSama555 Does she/he menstruate? Has he/she ever menstruated? Does he/she have ovaries, a uterus, a cervix, and fallopian tubes? Has he/she ever had a female reproductive system?
Damn. you messed up Jazz Jennings
and countless others
Mental case. Hopefully we will look at this BS like we look at labotomies today.
We need to look at it that way now, but we our "elite" class is composed of total lunatics.
A delusional treating young kids..GREAT!
what young kids?
@@13325poop He "treats" groomed kids(boys).And his treatment for groomed confused little kids is chopping of their gentialias and chugging them with female hormones and puberty blockers!
His agenda is to "recruit" more to their crossdressing gang, to the point ,trans becomes the new normal and these delusional old greys feel accepted as a real women !
@@guess7576 You know you can not get a procedure like this as a little kid. Most people that engage in grooming behavior tend to be straight men. You cant be this disillusioned....can you?
You ever watch, to catch a predator. How many drag queens and trans women/men did you see on there?
This doctor does amazing work for many people, especially the FGM community. But you are too busy nuzzling up to the andrew tates of the world to realize your trans and homophobia is quite crude and off putting.
you're the delusional one.
Can he even answer what a woman is?
And so what you learned from your trips to help women that their identity was stolen, you start to steal the identity of young kids😢. So sick
How this man became doctor, and a surgeon, mutilating thousands of people Its crazy for me. I'm ashamed for being a doctor myself, that people like this exist, instead of treating and caring for patients, he's butchered so many people.
I suspect these "doctors" are the psychos who were disappearing cats and dogs in the neighborhood for "medical experiments" and chose medical school instead of being serial killers.
He is man. Transitioned and pretending to be a woman.
this fella engages in harm.
This guy should be in jail.
This man is an abuser
Woman not man and know she's not
@@Kaylakaykay1997 he is fking man what ever he do you fking freak
Mikayla
He is a man, I don’t care what he tries to be I care what he is biologically
thanks lucy for restoring my faith in humanity.
Yes. 100% male. He doesn't even remotely pass for woman.
demented sadist
Going down rabbit hole and ended up here 😮😮this is absolutely horrific
Dr. Bowers: I have not seen you for several years but think about you often since I am in frequent contact with Janet. I wish you had never left Trinidad. I plan to return there and work a few days every 8-10 weeks. I live most of the time in beautiful Sequim, Washington but Trinidad will always be my home. I too was fortunate to work with Dr. Biber, albeit in a totally different way. Congratulations to you for carrying Dr. Biber's torch and actually evolving and perfecting it in many ways. Bless you! Perhaps I will be lucky to see you again someday. Sally Fabec
I am a patient of the amazing late Dr Stanley Bieber! I had my SRS on St Patrick's Day in 1988! I then had the distinct honor of meeting Dr Marci Bowers at a conference in Atlanta Georgia in September 2013! She was extremely gracious especially after I introduced myself as a patient of Dr Stanley Bieber! After a brief chat she related that Dr Bieber had passed on in a manner similar to the way that our first president George Washington had since they both were ranchers and avid horsemen! Unfortunately both men rode their horses in the rain got soaking wet got sick and very sadly died!! Meeting and talking about the late Dr Bieber with Dr Marci Bowers was an enjoyable experience in my life! ❤
Dr. Marci, your a great lady. I have listen to your presentation and it really touched me. I long to meet you one day. you are blessed.
Dr. Biber was my Doctor
An agw who should his medical license pulled
Undoubtedly one of the most akward video I’ve seen on any media form. How could someone could deliberately fill lies into a room full of grown adults, and they applause. That’s outrageous
Does she treat fibroid
Nice speech, nice speaker too. Sounds like someone who can define what a woman is.
Lol, really? What's the definition he gave then?
Dr. Marci Bowers Thank you
*
Sorry.
I really want to hear what Dr
Bowers' has to say, but the audio volume is too low to hear and you failed to include captions.
Maybe I shall return another time - who knows how long - and you will have repaired your technical deficiencies.
If not, then I shall skip this video.
*
The utter arrogance and self aggrandizing of this speech, even if you didn't know what he has done to children.
God Bless You.
Thank you Dr. Bowers, you are amazing, unique, beautiful!
Mrs. Bowers is a true role model.
A bad one actually
And your name is Patty Hearst
Please! - Leave his mother out of this - The poor old woman is an innocent third party!!
😢
I wish I could have known you early in my life. Thank you for those you could save. I still live as a man. I grew up poor and could have never afforded your services.
Thanks God for that
Marci helped me follow my path she did so with grace and compassion. I am so grateful for the transformation her efforts made possible. Beautiful presentation Marci.
He is bad example, and should be a lesson to many people to not be like him
@@2delicious57 She not he
@@Kaylakaykay1997he
You are not a woman and never will be. You look like a sad old man.
Horrific transwoman.
another beautiful person .. amazing strength of character
I Love You, Dr. Bowers !! Thank you for All you do - and Have Done for So Many of us !!
Allie does is bring. Degeneracy, he does not speak for me
I will hopefully be joining the efforts to help women that have been cut in the coming years. Thank you for all the wonderful work that you do.
Dr. Bowers is an awesome lady
Pity for him he never ever will be a female. He doesn't even know what it means to be a real biological female. He only ACTS with the post WW II clothes and the high heels and the make-up. It is culture, nothing else.
@@AndrogynousMIE Autogynephilia.
@@chocomoose394 Indeed ;) Nothing biological but neurosis.
Awful man
I was always small for my age. Always the smallest in my class. I was always picked on. My dad was in the service so I lived in different places. So it doesn’t matter where you live or how big or how little a person maybe. Everyone is the same no matter where you live. I have no clue why some people can be so mean and judgmental. What’s really sad thou it’s getting worse. I’m not like that I’m nice and caring. I live with chronic pain and need a wheelchair to get another in. I stay home because I feel vulnerable. People should be allowed to be who they are without being bullied.
Oof.
I see you.
I wish we had more Marcis. A lot more.
I don’t
@@2delicious57 why not?
You want more children mutilated and their health destroyed?
@@BM-qw8hy do you have any idea what you’re talking about? Sounds a lot like youve been spoonfed right wing religious talking points with zero awareness or subject comprehension. Seems like.
Maybe she can butcher your kids in the future, you never know :)
Thank you for your service Sir
The story of your life is so beautifully told. I'm deeply touched. There is love here, thank you! ❤
Triple oof.
vomit
U sick
Everything I've heard about this woman is amazing
Yeah? Did you know she botched a bottom surgery about 10 years ago and ruined that person's life? You can find it in Walt Heyer's blog if you're brave enough.
@@stormyz559SHE IS A doctor not god
@David Vanpatten no ,all surgery have risk ,i excuse nothing but it can happen
@David Vanpattenlol!!!!!
@@stormyz559 Still botching.
Im just getting used to being trans and I was walking out of the Burlingame clinic she walks right past me! Im like wait what!! She disappeared in thru the doors. Wish I had the chance to talk to her.
That a shame, you need help and prayer
I bet that's what the German citizens thought when they walked past Josef Mengele
Capable, confident, confused, refusing to be happy with what God made them as. Not everything is right just because you're mind has been conditioned to believe it's o.k. Deut. 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.
Thank you for all you do for FGM victims and for training local doctors.
Amen, ignore the haters!!!
She's a MAN man!
Beautiful!
tedx takes low minded people and let em talk ....aberate i mean :
I never heard of Marci before until I watched
I am Jazz
Jazz was groomed into tinking he is a girl and he can never speak out, because he is a beacon in the cult. If you watch exculensic's series on him, you can clearly see how he is being exploited for sick science and money. Marci should get sued and go to jail.
This fake doctor should be in jail…..
thank you you brought tears to my eyes and clensed my sole
You are a monster
she's so stunning
Nope
..and brave!
It's a he, he's a man
@@lazedimovski1342 and you're so into her that you clicked on the video 😗
You’re beautiful inside and out
lasphemousbla
Such an amazing person!
Not
Such an amazing child abuser*
Wow, she is literally a contradiction.
I wood love to be on ted x .
*
I gave this video the 'thumbs down'.
Not because of its presenter or its content, but because this video has no audio.
PLEASE! Redo this video with an audible soundtrack.
*
Go, Marci !! 💪💪💪
Go to jail!
@@radubradu 👎
wow she is an amazing women i true angel
If anyone deserves the Nobel peace prize it's Marci bowers a great example of being human.
He doesn’t deserve nothing but ridicule
Nobel Peace Prize??? lol nope
He deserves nothing but prison time for the damage and pain he's inflicted on countless young people.
@@nicoleevans4722 Do you suspect intentional malpractice, And are they still practicing?
