13 Milliseconds: First Impressions of Gender Expression | Savannah Hauk | TEDxEmory

Savannah Hauk speaks about the importance of first impressions and how we need to look past the first 13 milliseconds. Detroit-born Savannah Hauk is an author, podcaster, advocate and TEDx Speaker, living a confident, visible and successful male-to-female crossdressing life. Through a lifetime of experience and research, Savannah understands the many reasons men crossdress, the struggles and fears they face, and the weight of the crossdressing labels they accept but may not truly understand.

Her eLit award-winning "Living with Crossdressing" book series is written to demystify and destigmatize the dual gender experience for both crossdressing men and their loved ones. Savannah also co-hosts the weekly The Fox and the Phoenix Podcast, reinforcing the same positive and inclusive message of gender identity and expression. When Savannah isn’t working or advocating, she loves the MCU, rebuilding LEGO sets from bulk bricks, and spending time with her girlfriend and two fur babies. 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
