Trans 102: Life After Transition | Jaye McBride | TEDxAlbany

Jaye McBride discusses the next steps for understanding and equality for the Trans community.
Jaye McBride has performed stand-up all over the country, sharing the stage with stars like Aziz Ansari & Jim Norton. In addition to stand-up, Jaye has written, produced and acted in a variety of short films. When not performing on-stage or on-screen Jaye hosts “Planet Funny Radio” on iHeart radio and writes “The Comedy Blog” for the Albany’s Times Union.
Having transitioned in 2007, Jaye is uniquely qualified to talk about awkward first dates, strained family relationships and self- acceptance. Make no mistake though, Jaye McBride is not a gimmick or one-trick pony. She is one genuinely funny lady!
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

I can't believe I only found this person today. I'm already her biggest fan. She really is an incredibly gifted truth-teller. We (trans, cis...all of society) need more people like Jaye McBride. The world is better off because of her. Speaking as a fellow trans person, I'd like to tell her "thank you".

[@jayemcbride6772]

Thanks so much! I'm just seeing this now but I appreciate the kind words :)

[@user-ld7uj9pv8e]

Hate the use of cis....undervaluing actual women.

I was fortunate to be in the audience for this talk. Jaye was amazing, and has gone on to even more success in her world, comedy. She uses humor to blow up your misconceptions--love that!

[@lisetteclaremont2894]

Hi from Australia, what a fantastic talk, As a transwoman you had me laughing and going I know a lot. And yes we need more heroes. Keep up the good work, Trans lives matter.

[@hughjorgan8130]

Articulate, intelligent and realistic. Kudos ma'am 👍

[@boilerplate7]

I knew at 5 yrs of age but hid it until I was 18, and when I told my parents, they threw me out. I learned stealth that day and its value for survival. Their argument was this life style is a non productive dead end. I have endured the subjective dysphoria to the point that it too has become a tool of mastery over the negative aspects of my condition. I feel like Papillon after having jumped off the cliff into the ocean, to escape his prison looks up and shouts, "I'm still here you bastards!".

[@DerilVStubenrod]

"We need less martyrs and more fighters" - powerful truth right there.

Loved the video! Thank you!

Thank you for doing this.

This girl is hilarious. If you can watch this and not giggle with her then you are the one with a problem. Every time I see Leelah Alcorns photo my heart breaks. That poor kid. Hopefully she’s at peace.

[@janealace]

Gosh, I am so sorry to hear about these deaths. So sad. Acceptance is so important. I am a cis gender woman who is learning. And standing up for the trans community..

[@lr3521]

When she showed those 5 young people and then said they were murdered or committed suicide that really stabbed me in the heart. RIP

[@SarahLJP]

And many more have been murdered or committed suicide since 2015. I think the rate has actually risen since then.

[@naftalibendavid]

Jaye! You are helping the world!

[@jainab4834]

+umberto smith your opinions are outdated and your kind will die out and you will lose. history will remember you like the bigoted hate fueled garbage you are just like the bigots who fought against black rights

[@naftalibendavid]

+umberto smith Researchers once believed that, but data and logic led to the idea of gender dysphoria. Jaye appears to be delighted with her gender identity, so it does not qualify as a disorder. Note that gender non-conformity does NOT qualify as a disorder, either. Some of us are born with parts that don't match our true sense of who we are. It would be unfair to force people to conform simply because of a chance biological event. I think that if you knew Jaye, you would find her warm, intelligent, and completely well-adjusted. The only "disorder" would be if she tried to force herself to be a man when she knew down in her heart that she was not. www.dsm5.org/Documents/Gender%20Dysphoria%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf

[@jainab4834]

Somebody is really insecure about something. What are you afraid of picking up some hot girl and finding out she has a penis? How about let other people live their life, stay the fuck out of it, and find something better to throw your idiotic and irrelevant hatred at.

[@aurorusborealis4656]

+umberto smith You say a woman is feminine via her ability to carry children, but you do realize there are biological women who can not have children.

[@MisslanNusse]

"until technology makes it biologically possible" yea we past that state like 100 years ago when we learned how to create testosterone and estrogen. DNA does not define biological gender traits, hormones do to a much larger degree. There are plenty of women with XY and men with XX chromosomes, the different is the hormone they are being exposed with in fetus state. Hence hormones define gender traits, hence it is the treatment for gender dysphoria. What you probably are getting at is that one needs to have had the biological development to be "allowed" to be a certain gender. I do hope you realize how crazy this is. It is like saying if you where born blind you should always remain blind unless we have the technology to give you fully functioning eyes and an sight adapted brain. You are saying that a blind person with goggles that allow them to see is still blind, it is just cosmetic.

God said in the Holy Bible Let us make Man in our own image Male and Female. Jesus said I am the way and the Truth and the Life no man comes to the Father but by me. Jesus said To enter the Kingdom of God you must be Born again, Flesh gives birth to flesh and Spirit gives birth to Spirit.

[@omarabuabdallah4311]

I like her talk and style. 👍🏻 Here is what I don't get... If trans women Identify themselves as women then surely they can use the men's room by the logic of that.. And if they do, then what's wrong in a man staring at her like we do for any woman.. It's just what it is.. Nature. Can a man be blamed or branded for looking at someone who comes across as female or feminine! It's nature. Like she maybe feminine, but don't bring that sense into a male room then blam man for acting naturally. That's the Idea of segregation anyways.. Isn't it. Now.. If they look so feminine and good looking, they shouldn't have problem using the women's room, but for some reason women don't want them there " guess they not so accommodating. Again.. If we men are suppose to accept trans women in, then why not also accept real women in! The so "tair down that wall" right.? One way forward is to make a mix gender room in the middle, or remove segregation all together Xx= male Yy= female Xy= neutral = for all Yx= ( ) = no segregation. Just asking.. I'm not telling.

[@fubytv731]

What logic? You're just trying to justify your twisted fantasy.

What...? You're confused. Trans women do not belong in the men's room, ever? Are you feeling well?
