LB Hannahs candidly shares the experience of parenting as a genderqueer individual — and what it can teach us about authenticity and advocacy. "Authenticity doesn't mean 'comfortable.' It means managing and negotiating the discomfort of everyday life," Hannahs says.

Ohana means FAMILY!
0:57 relax people, if you don’t think that was funny you don’t have to laugh 🙂
Waiting for Jordan Peterson to be invited to TED. Lol
Scott McCall he already had his talk.
Calalang great to hear! I’ll check it out!
He will probably never be invited because most people would call him right wing for some reason.
As a clinical psychologist, he would be scientific and credible compared to most of the SJWs TED diversity gets.
We live in a society…
Exactly right. And a society would never have been built and will cease to function when we stop agreeing on simple truths like man and woman. Language would have never formed if we were able to “label” and agree with what made a man and woman different. Imagine early man trying to develop language and their had to be an infinite number of identifiers for gender alone. It would have never worked out. These liberals would still be living in caves trying to figure out what to call their pee pees.
How does labeling males and females help with forming language? A why would you need an infinite number to label for all genders, couldn’ t we just call everybody human?
ilseesli no you moron. Genders simpligy language espexially by identifying two people. She vs he with 2 people to choose from.
Valient Six I understand how labeling gender helps to identify people. Like you said it eliminates about 50% of the choices when identifying. But how are these two labels so essential for language development? Also I would appreciate if you would stop with the name calling, no need for it. Relax.
this is a interesting topic that defies the usual way of thinking. i can apreciate that.
Wow you are dull
People please. That Ted uses their platform for Propaganda topics is pretty bad yes. And i also dislike a lot of the leftist positions. BUT this is no excuse for discrimination. I see so much hate in the comments. That won’t make anything better.
There are very reasonable transgender People. Check out Ella Grant she was featured by shoeonhead.
Don’t hate on entire groups of people just because you think they are all the same. THEY ARE NOT.
Logic and Reason +
Love for all people. ❤
What is going on with your like/dislike ratio? Who could hate the Ted chanel? Did someon make a bot to give all your vids 500 dislikes? D:
Is the truth offending to you? Welcome to stereotypes…and why they are true.
Ayu Umi who says transphobia is a bad thing?
Ayu Umi last i checked they were prone to suicide and murder…who wants people like that around…
I… I dont know what happend here tbh. Does this Question ( Valient Six: “Ayu Umi who says transphobia is a bad thing?”) Imply that Thransphobia Could be a GOOD thing? How can someone say somthing like that?
And what is the meaning of the other coments? I cant even identify who is Pro and who is against Trans ppl :C
Ayu Umi well your gender is based on what’s between your legs. These poor confused kind can’t seem to stop bitching about how bad their lives are.
So, from what they were saying, I understood that they wanted their child to be gender neutral. Isn’t is the same as imposing a gender on someone?
not imposing something is also imposing since no one lifes in a vacuum and the child therefor has to be actively cut of from the mainstream.
Lol actually yes imposing gender neutral is the same as gender identity.
Yes, and they’re doing a poor job even at that because they actually used he and she to talk about their kids sooooo
It’s literally the exact opposite of that lol. They’re raising the child gender neutral so they don’t impose any sort of gendered messages/socialization, and as the child gets older they can identify as whatever gender makes them most comfortable.
Robin Moussa yeaaaah as if that’s what’s gonna happen. A child has no ‘free will’, their parents HAVE to decide for them for everything. By choosing to raise their kid such way, parents make a decision for them, the same way they would decide to raise them as boys or girls. It IS an ‘imposed’ choice of life. The idea that the child will have a choice in the matter is a fantasy. And besides, since when aren’t kids raised as boys or girls unable to ‘choose’ their gender once they’re ready? Isn’t the existence of trans people and other ‘genders’ the proof that, at some point, when one goes from ‘child’ to ‘independant individual’ they can always choose who they want to be? Raising a child without ‘barriers’ or clear definitions of things always end up badly. If they really loved their children, they’d raise them as their biological gender and give them the most ‘normal’ and balanced life possible.
What is the benefit of this talk?? we need more scientific talks like the golden ages of ted.
Ammar A propaganda
You’d think that after all the trans talks and attention their community has gotten in the media that I would have a better understanding of why trans people choose to be trans or that I would generally have a better understanding of their issues, but I don’t really, if anything these talks just leave me more confused. The only common thing I sense from trans people is insecurity and internal struggle. Often times it feels like their obsession with gender is actually masking some bigger issue they haven’t fully comprehended or figured out yet. Being “mispronouned” or whatever actually isn’t that big of a deal, what’s a big deal is that you being mispronouned trigger uncomfortable emotions about your ongoing unresolved insecurities about who you are and your ongoing struggles with identity. I have compassion for their struggles and wish them peace of mind, but honestly, at this point it’s just not that interesting anymore.
Johnny B Trans people don’t choose to be trans, they just are. What they have to decide is if and how far they want to physically transition. And if people would keep telling you that you are something/someone you know you’re not, if they constantly invalidate your feelings, you’d become “insecure and troubeled”, too. And trans people definitly aren’t more obsessed with gender than cis people: Whole partys to reveal a babys gender, strangers asking pregnant women what it will be, certain toys for girls, different ones for boys, the same fucking product in a masculine/blue/boy and a feminine/pink/girl version, most jewellery and clothes have to be divided in man and woman,…
And it’s cool that (if you’re a guy) you would’t mind being (constantly) referd to as Ms, woman, lady, girl and with she/her pronouns, maybe even using a wrong name for you like Joanna, or the nickname Jojo you can’t stand. But others don’t have to put up with it.
It’s nice that you have compassion for them, even though you “don’t get it”. But I hope you actually respect them as a person, too. Like, NOT using the wrong pronouns, or asking them about their genitals. And trans people don’t have to be interesting to make that effort.
Well, there goes any reasonable discussion in the comments
your comment really helps in that regard
So what if it Ted talks aren’t the same as you see them. You cared enough to even watch the video. Just go away. It is not your place to decide anything for him and his child. The only thing that matters is that children have a loving family. Race, sexuality, gender, don’t matter as long as the child is loved. Just because you don’t agree with the ideologies of this family and the video, doesn’t mean you can bash the family. If you don’t agree, just don’t watch the video. There is no pushing of any agenda, this is one of the first LGBTQ+ videos in awhile. Just mind your own business.
MEssYkiLLa not triggered. Just fed up.
By enable degerate trannies like her with their child abuse you’re making the world a worse place.
Actually if people feel these people are mentally abusing their children it is thier right to say so and alert authorities.
mandy wallstead Actually the scientific evidence and stats are highly suggestive that having a nuclear family with astraight make and female is the best environment for raising achild to adulthood. Therefore anything other is acrually detrimental to the child’s upbringing. Like single mothers or no father or trans or gay parents. So you are undeniably wrong.
Regardless of what people think of Gender/sexual preferences..this was a good talk.
The Childs needs and concerns were important now and in the future. Proud and good parenting is what we need more of in the world!
Nothing more important than a loving supportive family and household.
Being mean and negative is not good for anyone. Take care of yourself and your family and friends.
If you don’t like these types of videos/talks, don’t watch them! It’s that simple! Does YouTube and the world revolve around you and your choices? No? Then save your time and use it on something you do like or want to learn about

Promoting child abuse and proping up parents who most of the time are mentally who who shouldn’t be allowed childre in the first place is a good talk?
why were you upset that a guy threw you out of a woman’s bathroom? arent you a dude? what exactly do you want? you cant just reap the benefits of both genders and get away with it. i respect you as a parent and as a trans person, but be reasonable. if you’re a man expect to be treated like one.
watch the video lol
Respect Katze
Well said, thought the exact same thing. And they’re mixing up actual transgenderism and gender neutrality which is kind of insulting for real trans people if you ask me. But hey, what can I say? I’m cis gender, I shouldn’t be talking about that right? Or that’d make me transphobic, lel.
It’s just a bathroom.
lez magi trans is an umbrella term. It encompasses genderqueer, intersex etc.
You are welcome to your own opinions but you are not welcome to your own biological facts.
My god… this person’s poor kids will grow up with all kind of mental issues, and not just about gender…
Agreed. They will be so messed up in the head.
I bet they will grow up to wipe back to front.
lez magi I can’t agree more
Lord Staind not necessarily ‘messed up’ but confused, for sure. Look at adopted children, when they learn they’re adopted they go through a whole phase of wondering and questionning. And they’re JUST adopted (talking about typical good family adoptive straiht parents kind of format here). Can you imagine these kids in 10 years?
Btw, they have one son and one dauht right ? Because with all that gender crap I got lost.
lez magi they will definitely hate thier “guardians”
Bro, please
