Rhys as a girl with a lot of female friends (who agree with me) if we knew they weren’t doing it to be creepy but because that’s where they felt comfortable we honestly wouldn’t mind, and it’s quite clear to see if they were doing it with ill intention. The issue comes when people say someone would take advantage of that system. That’s why most places with changing rooms have security of some sort nearby. And at the end of the day that would occur far more rarely than people say it would. So allowing it would do far more good than bad

Kids and teens (specifically around the ages 11-18) are generally more insightful and in lack of a better word smarter than adults. A reason for this is that the hormonal changes in their brains cause them to creat more neurons quicker and develope their brains rapidly. This causes kids to have more questions about life and these questions if answered also can give people a deeper understanding of life itself. So it makes sense why the best ted talk is made by a 12 year old

As a non-bianary person, who does have long hair, and was marked female at birth, this really hits home in a different way. Yes, visually I look like a she/her, but still- It feels wrong to be titled as 'pretty' or ' girly ' or ' tom-boy '. I am me, and me is them or they, or even my name instead of gender forward terms. Yes, all of my family, and friends at the moment still call ne she/her, despite them being well aware I'd much rather them/they, and no, I don't hold it agents them- Because deep down, It doesn't matter all that much to me. I am human, and that's all that matters. It doesn't matter is someone is a boy, or a girl, or unisex, or what body parts they have, or what they wear, or their hair cuts, or skin tones- or even beliefs.. All that matters, Is their human.

In my language there is no he/she, we use one word. So I never thought when I was younger how much frustration this can cause for people whos language does contain gender. I am always just randomly using he/she even if someone is clearly female or male, and I have to quickly correct myself. Simply because I grew up with no gender, so doesn't really come automatically when I speak anyway. On the other note I'm just so impressed by Audrey's speech. Till now I would probably just faint, sweat, get red and be lost in words. 😅

See this is my only issue, if someone wants to be non binary by all means be what you want but can we please come up with proper pronouns. They implies more than one and therefore sounds like if it's one person there is a multi personality disorder. I mean seriously referring back to basic English grammar they means more than one. So someone please come up with something different than they, their, or them.

"Lovato sought treatment at the age of 18 after they got into a fight with one of their backup dancers". Does that not sound like it's referring to more than one person?

@@1970Mom I'm an American expat and I've had Canadian expats get offended when I ask if they're American, so I started asking North American-sounding people "Are you American, or Canadian?" When it comes to gender, which can be a way more sensitive topic than nationality, most people are totally happy to have someone ask their pronouns rather than unknowingly misgender them (just like the Canadians who don't want me to assume they're American). You could just say "By the way, what pronouns do you prefer? I use she and her" (or whatever yours are). It's simple and prevents hurtful misunderstandings. And when in doubt, just stick with they/them until the person tells you differently.

what confused me most was that i didnt know if they were 10 or 23 years old until i read the description of the video lol keep up the good work kid! as a gnc myself, its very comforting to see gnc non-binary and trans kids live out loud and proud like this
