Why is Gender Identity so Important? | Rikki Arundel | TEDxWarwickSalon

I identify as a Chihuahua. Respect that, or get canceled!

This person on stage is a MAN.

Delusional

Oh this is bad. Real bad... I hope no impressionable youths are watching this.

What is going on, why is OK to make fun of me but not you.

Present yourself anyway you want. Man/woman girl /boy I personally don’t care . Dress however you like 👍. If people don’t accept you that’s their problem.

if you have a "woman's brain" inside a "man's body" how do you know that the body is the problem? Why isn't it the brain?

You can't change your gender. And I don't believe that people are asking you whether you're a man or woman; I think they're telling you "Sir, you cannot go into the women's restroom because you're a man". They're not the ones confused. But if you can't even give a definition for "man" or "woman", you're the confused one.

Also, no, you shouldn't be speaking to children about this, whether they ask about it or not.

Great talk from a great perspective. I'm starting to date someone who is agender so I'm learning as much as I can about gender identity, which is good considering
I teach anthropology and sociology and need to know as much as possible. Thank you for your insight.

Its not... the problem is we make it to be.

Wonderful, I am so glad I was assigned to watch this video with one of my college courses. Thank you!

I am a transman & I fear that I won't be allowed to wear heels & skirts, as soon as people read me male.. So I wonder if I should transition, because I like to express myself feminin & i am a man! 🥺 She shows up for all man, who want to be themselves. She shows up for me 🤲 thank you, love.

Ah yes gender identity. The only part of you that is a complete illusion. Very important

🤪

RIDDLE ME THIS; People within the LGBTIQ community often say they want others to accept them for who they are, but for those taking Hormone Therapy, YOU DON'T EVEN ACCEPT YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE. It's not like some of us are born with a note saying, "This individual will need to take Hormone Therapy, and, OR reconstructive surgery to match the gender they feel they belong to."

"Gender identity" is important to him because it allows him to wear his crossdressing fetish in public and mask it in a social movement.


Rikki, or whatever he wants to call himself, is a man.

Excellent thanks for sharing

Lord Jesus, heal our broken world.

I enjoyed your presentation very much. I enjoy learning as much as I can so thank you.

A must-watch, this video is fantastic! Rikki Arundel takes us through gender identity as a simplicity all of us can easily understand. Humorously adding a lighter side that keeps you watching, and suddenly understanding just how complex the question is it male or female can be.

Not a bad talk - Rikki seems to have a great personality

This is so amazingly well done! Thank you!

Your beauty is emanating from your heart deep inside!

What part of science do you not understand. There is xx and xy. God created them male and female. Your problem is that you've rejected the Knowledge of God Repent and accept Jesus Christ as your saviour and you'll begin to think clearly and properly. Sin always brings confusion, and clearly you are confused.

You did a great job, thank you.

Please read my comment completely and then judge or debate it , i respect good well point discussion.
Biologically and genetically you are either a male or female and this is a fact, if you feel like another gender or decide to dress or act like another that doesn’t change this fact. Yes ofcourse we respect your decision but it is unreasonable to expect whole society change and change its linguistic upon your wish . Now a days when you are registering in to anything in western countries there is a long list of genders and pronouns that doesn’t make sense and most people don’t even know what they are and this list is continuing, we respect your decision and feelings but this is going too far

Thank you!

To anyone who leaves a hate comment here: I hope you know that the things you say has consequences and the hurt that you are putting out stems from within. No one who has got the meaning of life would take their time to leave horrible comment online.

You label it as cross dressing yourself because you wanted to be more specific and not confusing.

Stop calling autogynephillic men who pretend to be women she and her. Just stop!

Great talk!! As an older Transwoman I agree with every word you have said..... What amuses me is when gender specialists ask what toys you played with as a child....I had an electric train set which ran off the mains & was fascinated by the electric current, but I also had a doll as a relative was a doll maker. My favourite xmas present was a Rupert Bear Annual. But most of all as a child & & up to the age of 12ish was my collection of foreign stamps. I noticed that my grandchildren have none of these things, they have computers & I am not sure that I approve !!

It is a very simple question, just look in your shorts...

It’s ironic that the ad that played before this video for me was a product called “Dude Wipes”. Anyway, this type of thinking , and all its variations stem from self-centered people with “issues” playing make believe. No I don’t celebrate this nonsense. Yes, I can hear the name calling from those who disagree. The intolerance in the name of tolerance is something to behold!

..... gender to gnoje ...... gender to śmierć ....

I think u cannot change your gender. Gender is inbetween your ears in your brain. Gender is how you identify yourself as wether u are a male or a female.

Thanks for sharing! Very insightful.

An easy answer to gender is whether they bear a child or they breed with a female

Oh my god I love the accent!

Repugnant video normalizing dishonesty and narcissistic delusions.

It's not, except for the two pronouns for the only two genders. Male or female, he or she.

What a load of rubbish. If gender isn’t defined by genitalia, then what is it? Just an abstract, self-contradictory construct with no basis in fact. It serves no purpose if it’s not based on genitalia.

Gender identity isn’t important. Be yourself not a caricature of what you think a woman is or a man is. It’s incredibly sexist to women that you think we all just like pink, shoes, and makeup. Also, participate in your own sports please, pave your own path just like real women did.

When your a Christian but your trying to be more open minded and aware so you watch these videos

It’s not. Nobody cares what gender you are.

shouts "I identify as a reptilian!"
CIA shows up
"Wait, I identify as a human now!"
CIA: "damn he's good..."

The word "Gender" is derived from the Latin root meaning "to beget; to procreate; to generate; to create; to produce."

freak!

He is a man, not a woman. You can't change your gender.
