Trans-Gender: Across Time and Binary | Ellis Gordy | TEDxUTulsa

As anti-trans legislation sweeps across the United States, proud trans man Ellis Gordy gives a brief and historically grounded example of how transgender people are not a new phenomenon and reminds his listeners that transgender people cannot be ignored or eliminated.

Ellis Gordy is a graduate student at the University of Tulsa studying Museum Science and Management. He is a professional thinker and amateur researcher with an interest in bringing suppressed queer narratives into the spotlight. When he's not working towards a visible queer past and a safer queer future, he can be found playing TTRPGs, video games, and as a mediator between his partner and their cat in an ever-waging psychological war. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
