How might the ways in which we talk about gender today actually be harmful to our understanding of gender identity? In this talk, Theo Gadd discusses the problematic nature in the way we discuss gender and transgender issues today; and how we might be able to fix it.

Theo is a second year student at UWCRCN from the UK. He likes swimming, attempting to run and reading a good book just before falling asleep at the end of the day. He is transgender and has worked closely with the school to make it more accommodating for all gender identities. He is passionately involved in the schools Gender and Sexuality group as well as being involved with LGBTQ+ advocacy in the UK and online. His talk will be about the use of words and the impact that they can have on trans peoples lives. He strongly believes that to make a trans persons life better we can simply change the way that we talk about gender to be more open and accepting of all gender identities. He also hates marshmallows.
