The Gender Tag: Authentic Gender Expression | Ashley Wylde | TEDxCSU

Most people don't ever stop to think about their experience of gender, and this leads to a lack of understanding for others, and a limited worldview. In addition, if you never explore your identity as it pertains to gender, you might never be able to make informed choices about your body and your life, and sticking with the status quo when it comes to gender expression harms many people.
Ashley Wylde is a queer and genderqueer writer, activist, and Colorado State University student. Her passion derives from exploring the complex ideas of gender, sex, and sexuality through creative expression. Ashley strives to make conversation about these difficult subjects as accessible and digestible as possible. She regularly engages topics of identity and subjectivity on her YouTube channel, encouraging viewers to consider, share, contribute to the conversation, and find solidarity. Ashley also serves as a volunteer speaker for the Visible Voices program through the GLBTQQA Resource Center on campus, is a member of the Campus Recreation Inclusivity Committee, and was recently selected as a recipient of the national 2016 William N. Wasson Student Leadership & Academic Award, presented by NIRSA.
