Sexuality & gender - straight & narrow or round & bouncy?: Danielle McClelland at TEDxBloomington
Is our sexuality and gender identity fixed? Or flexible and responsive to others? At TEDxBloomington, Danielle McClelland introduces a new model for gender identity, sexuality, and relationships. She believes we each position ourselves sexually and to consciously embrace the process gives us all more freedom and ultimately, more power to live fulfilling lives. McClelland's twenty years of work in the arts as a playwright, director, and administrator has been augmented by time as professional cook, organic field hand, and union organizer. Danielle has written and produced two short films and is currently in development on a feature length screenplay set in Bloomington. She has presented her one-person show, the girl stories, in cities from New York to Portland. In her spare time, she serves as the Executive Director of the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, and founded and produced the PRIDE Film Festival for ten years.

I have a male friend who is gay a female friend who is bi and/or pan sexual and I myself am asexual. It is an interesting circle we've become.

Having friends is awesome because true friends let each other explore who they are, were and want to be. You guys want to know more about your sexuality, so you discuss it. You've showing a kind of friendship by leaving this comment to encourage others. Nice work. A.G.

Well you were not born like that, this is what you made yourselves to be by choice. The sad part is all the contradictory statements...

Almost all of my friends(including me) are LGBTQ+
No one forces you to understand because if you vehemently refuse to, you never will. All that's asked is that you respect.

Yes! All of human experience is a range, all "groups" of humans are a range. Yes! Yes! Yes!
I would love for this to be the beginning of the conversation. We can delve much more deeply in to this. Infinitely so.
Not even a minute and a half into this video and I'm absolutely enthralled ♥
I feel like TEDx is more Trans/Interested in gender than the average Trans-specific youtube channel, it's like they approve any talks that use "gender" in the first sentence. (Not to say any of them are poor quality, they are all quite good, there's just soo many of them.)
That was beautiful. Very good delivery.
A refreshing and nuanced take on this. Nice work. A.G.
Great lecture inspirated and helped me a lot
When Danielle asked what do u think I am? I was stunned bc until that was asked of me it occurred to wonder Danielle's gender.
Really good speech!
Relly god job. I appreciate it.

WOW, I guess that means children as well.
Good talk. Could have included asexuality, agenders, and non-binaries though (they don't fit anywhere on the Kinsey scale, or the proposed circles model).

I mean. It's a bit outdated lol. I'd argue we need to do away with the kinsey scale because it doesn't leave room for those identities

I totally agree with the idea that what defines a man and what defines a woman are broad. There are no clear things to define the two genders. Why do transgenders act like there are? "I never liked sports so....I can't be a man". Gee, I didn't know that was what defined a man. There are different kinds of "men": more masculine, more feminine, unique, those that fit the perfect stereotype, etc.. There are different kinds of women: girly-girls, tomboys, sterotypical, unique, more agressive, etc. A female brain and a male body(or vice versa) doesn't make any sense. Accept yourself: A man/male or a woman/female.

It can be a confusing topic! Hopefully in the past year you've found other resources that make more sense to you!
..... ok. A bit uninspired.
How did they let someone so disgustingly untruthful speak from authority at TED? Take one look at the credibility of ANY of the stuff this Karen was citing?
I can tell by the voice it's a woman.
