Demystifying The Crossdressing Experience : Savannah Hauk : Tedxncstate

Regardless of gender, we deserve to be valued. We should feel that way about ourselves and own identities — including those who identify as a crossdressing individual. The importance of supporting others cannot be overlooked. So, let's build each others confidence and empower everyone to be their true selves. Detroit-born Savannah Hauk is an author, podcaster and advocate, living a confident, visible and successful male-to-female crossdressing life. 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. 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. When Savannah isn’t working or advocating, she loves the MCU, rebuilding LEGO sets from bulk bricks, and goofing around 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 ted.com/tedx
