Description
How do we make sense of gender identity? As an increasingly popular and controversial conversational topic, how gender is defined and determined in society has become a subject of controversy and misinformation. In their TEDxPCL talk, gender specialist and founder of /Queer, Georgie Williams, unpacks the key facets of gender from biological, psychological and sociocultural perspectives and asks the crucial question- what’s in a gender? Georgie is a deferred-PhD student of University College Dublin, specialising in non-cisgender identities from a transnational perspective. They are an LGBTQ+ rights and women’s rights activist and has worked with organisations such as Mermaids, Sisters Uncut and Chrysalis, as well as activist groups across the world including the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, WAIFU, and PKBI Indonesia. In 2019, they launched /Queer, an accessible educational platform providing resources and insight into gender and sexuality variant communities around the world – primarily disseminated through a podcast. Doubling as an oral histories archive, /Queer has been archived in the Kinsey Institute and has a listener-base in 122 countries around the world.
