A Moving TED Talk Geena Rocero: Why I must come out

When fashion model Geena Rocero first saw a professionally shot photo of herself clad in a bikini, she was beside herself. "I thought...you have arrived!" she says proudly. This might not be the typical experience, but, as Rocero reveals, that’s because she was born with the gender assignment “boy.” In a moving and personal talk, Rocero finds that transgender activism is giving her a whole new sense of pride and purpose. 


Do you remember model Caroline "Tula" Cossey when she was "outed" as transgender and how it was a career ender for her. Now some fifty years later we are making inroads being able to live our lives and have the job that we desire.
