standing. apart from cafe i need about two hours for pure make up and sometimes even three to four hours plus preparation time on the day before course i try on the outfits then i have to shave here and there was a stand here as all so all in all it takes half a day but it's always fun as painting on your own face is also an art form really thing and i think these homes some are now honey const far. we have company ben through the history museum in vienna. the art historian also

a first going to tour was as a drag queen. a form of performance that uses the stylistic device of exaggeration to blood gender roles. to some who say oh my hair when i do this in a museum i have the undivided attention and enthusiasm of the people because they have come especially because of me but in the subway or the tram it's a bit more mixed some people are totally upset others. and it's super to tie fish to a matter of you know home phone sex with some you can tell that they even feel uncomfortable and don't like it but all in all i still find it important that i do it even if the reactions are not consistently positive because i think that we should not push ourselves too strongly into any roles so stock enigma sharne cooking sark and then in civilian clothes the twenty six year old german has been working at the art history museum since two thousand and sixteen not only with

ironically called mansplaining. men and women society is used to categorizing. definitely male or female this is not always quite clear even if one would assume it at first glance. this is by part of me jenny no cupid. in his boat many art historians already speculated whether they're boys girls and mixed and most people say well the boy is the one with the brown hair on the girl is the one with the blonde hair and of course the boy is a prankster and the girl is acting coyly the boy forces the girl to do something she doesn't want the whole thing is of course problematic one could say the poor girl but on the other hand if it's wonderfully into the gender stereotypes we already have so although we can't rationally determine the sex of the two most

people assume that it has to be a boy and a girl. calvin had to steam i think most people today understand that and when i walk around like this i don't want to be a woman but rather take tional character who somehow looks wild and interesting be viewed and sound off but i do believe that dragon is the possibility for many people to try out their own gender identity that cat is you know i expected him to to i'll support him for ben drac is disguising himself again with identity an art

before and behind them i decide what about whether behind it acushla it does so and so. if you help give voice to see it and to hear that so i knew i didn't belong i wasn't a real woman because hova he thought if i'm honest i thought maybe i'm not a gender at all that my. come on the comfort of being a flake does does well is my worst thought they get oh maybe i'm nothing. in austria almost everyone knows the story of the ski will champion was actually a man be a legit daughter of corinthian farmers was born in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight with unclear gender characteristics and thus into gender really into sexual are people who cannot be clearly classified into the categories male and female with regard to internal and external sexual organs chromosomes or homeowner

against the resistance of the family on the national ski association every country so many to have a male genitals surgically corrected. at the age of twenty you look up began a new law and first it. they used to think of me as an ugly duckling and suddenly i was a handsome young man with a short haircut and bordeaux but first my hair stood like that and like that on my sleeve cut. and of course at the i had a porsche because if i. had a new nine eleven and a great col shunsuke only had a nine twelve i mean i do know that there is a big difference in the stock with it and that he's all that i'm for each boy

demanding yes so on i wanted to strengthen my personality i wanted to show that i'm a real man and many only wanted that love and in public it was presented differently i was the big macho at least two or three girls at night but it was a nice time anyway great to have i seen it said lots of the. forty thousand made the six dead on the a for erica has been removed to turn it to eric. organized. this to take him up up the. east gate after strawson when i'm walking on the street and if someone shouts behind me erica i can't control myself that quickly and turn around erica as a part of. i did the c d n a case by me yet even though. it she is a three time grandfather and married for the second time he only had surgery at the

age of nineteen. many into sexual children are still operated on immediately after birth without any medical necessity many suffer for the rest of their lawns. that isa sethian five it is better to wait until puberty and let the person decide for oneself with the support that the it s. thousand one hundred best zone in chain. because only they know yet what's inside them i can tell you whatever i like yeah whether you will understand it is a different matter he couldn't know i am busy so all of you have to feel something like that and that something else is on the ice. yes daily. ethically must give account. of this first life as erica that

was embarrassing honey i didn't want to know anything about this life it's today at seventeen he stole a proud of his life that was childhood sport i was supported on all sides but he's been known to students that i don't say he spake neatly in my second life i mean my name was a big obstacle and i was kicked with feet and hands these known to get paid if i had to go i wasn't allowed to be anything anywhere and i think i was even more harm than at first mere going to pan be a tourist but over i've made it happen.

you can currently choose from sixty sexes on facebook more and more young people describe themselves as gender fluid so they see the gender boundaries fluently. but what does this mean for the language.

business web rolled to be a strength a brutal full context poked. fun at you i tried yoga it wasn't possible because i was fat. and to top up opiates in you i tried swimming for the elderly but that didn't work because it confused them so much that i was so young. not the so all that stuff that just didn't fit and this fits. well it is the case in roller derby that there is a task for everybody but also enriches a team at. not like some sports for example ice dancing you need a certain body shape to do it and that's not the case with roller derby i think that's how it starts as a sport that celebrates different body shapes that different body shapes are ok all

at once in the changing room. before men or kids and of a mind. but even at the time of recruiting when we were asked to join in it was clearly stated it's for people who locate beyond the binary gender scheme has been anxious she must fall off and it's extremely beneficial to hear this an acceptance of the fact that this exists. extreme for tones. cut to identify as neither has a man or a woman and describes herself as not binary originally from germany lives with their charge and partner in vienna when asked about the gender role three point three percent of the german population recently stated that they were neither male nor female man or woman this is usually not a question for the majority of society. you are used to tick this info in

forms even if the possibility of a third option is dismissed as unimportant for many to kucha it is a central theme of identity. and seems to recent history if it's not so important i wonder why when i buy a shampoo somewhere it says it's for women or for men so it's not the same for everyone older thus the. more that with every stupid form even if you fill in the address when ordering catfish you have to write mr or mrs and it's a mandatory field that you fill out this form of address and you only have these two options you go to the toilet and have to identify yourself as either male or female i mean i wouldn't have any problem with having a feeling that i'm not accepted the way i am if it weren't for the strict classification categories inched induced and it.

show that chest all back i used to fend off opponents burst lips broken elbows and sprained ankles a part of the game. i. see a typical female sport. i think this question is a bit difficult what is typically female we are just people who play a full contact sport and of course it's rough because it's a full contact sport. i manipulate yes of course for historical reasons i don't know why one sees women as the weaker sex and i don't see the reason the sitting company we play it so it's typically female i say so too.

sports is also understood by its operate says as a statement against prevailing gender cliches the club is the only team worldwide to have its own male cheerleader troop to children. and when i go to a sports store and i want to buy clothes for sports and men's department is loose a wad comfortable to wear in women's sports trousers are all like these yoga pants and this very tight so you can see every bit of fat and everything if i move around in it i know it is all i'm much more exposed to as wearing my regular sportswear than on the. the. if i give it to them that's the question we throw back to the audience why do you

think it's funny when men do it but completely normal when women stand up on stage for an audience more or less in the tightest outfits and the crowd yells often all over finished every wednesday evening. for if we were doing halftime football somewhere in the state league match right now i don't know if the reaction would be so positive i think we're in a little bubble at the roller derby right now but if you can was the. with the third option besides men and women it is also possible for qatar to choose the third gender and tree in the civil state just register. i want to make an application as soon as i can and i don't know whether it'll be possible because i live abroad but i'm planning to but it's not about wanting to be

someone special or being a special snowflake or extremely different from everyone else but it's just the way i am sad that's on the on the little saw up as you said soviet spinning and i think it's much more pleasant to have people accept it and having to explain it all the time and have to take myself out of a kind of normality that is constructed there that just works within a binary gender scheme to which i don't belong yeah usually it's a danish albums and you know. how to scots i want to be addressed. that is just to be honest i haven't found a solution in german it's relatively simple in english most people use they or i ask them to his it and that feels good and it's difficult in german at the moment i think it's best if you just take the name so it's just kata. and cut up as correct .

but even in a world that only emanates from men and women it is not always clear how would gender just spelling can be implemented slash in learned all star how can the gender diversity be understood linguistically instead of inland underscores asterisks are now considered to be contemporary in order to represent everyone. to live it is this can't see further the regular should. be hashing about first and last of that so i think about it which means a four inch frame is hot or that in a box i don't like to tour like this tournament that i said it was a partial. this leaves. water under the bridge we visit a gender sensitive kinda gotten in which there is deliberately knowing that a separate building nor adults called everything totally progressive not at all

clothing or even toys have never been so clearly divided into blue for boys and pink for girls logical isn't it and it's not like we're born with a ping gene of course that has now only been invented pink is a color that's great it has signal strength all babies are crawling towards it but boys learn very quickly that this color is not for them it's nonsense to think it's genetic but we are of course promoting it because we have established structures in our society that have worked well for me it's how i. the problem is of course not that the toys for girls are pink but that they are never playing for boys that means boys can't play with anything pink what's cute what has to do with now polish or makeup or too much and social behavior and these are all things that are only there for girls and when a little boy comes to school or kindergarten with his sister's pink skirt then it's

your gay so this little boy learns i can't be girlish i can't be soft i can't be gay and i have to be everything else that means i have to be tough i have to be cool i have to show that everything that has to do with girls is not my world. stevie schmidle is mother of two daughters and founder of pink stings germany the numerous projects have one goal to reduce gender stereotypes on so that men and women have equal opportunity to criticize sexist at the taunting and to give children a different image of masculinity and femininity. this is our book david and his pink pony a play that we show at elementary schools to show boys that they can like pink and be soft or are cool sticker sexy yes sexist no it explains what sexism is and what isn't and very important love pink hate pink vacation.

one country think that's. the thing especially in times of the me to debate why men discuss that hold the door open for women or not it's understandable that society is completely confused we've had feminism for forty years now that's not much if you look at our cultural history and for the first time men are apparently completely excited and confused because now they say that you can't compliment a woman anymore and you don't really know what the right man is or what the right woman is and in this time it's of course a gender marketing which says that pink bobby cars for girls the blue one for the boy which creates an order this reminds us of our own childhood when gender roles were even more divided and it gives parents the feeling hey i'm doing this right i don't confuse my kid when everyone's discussing whether it's good for the kids to be taught something biologically unthought of. many classic toys that used to be

gender neutral on no also available in pink and blue the term for this gender marketing the more stereotypical the talk of group can be supplying the most profitable the sales figures i think it's a case in is extremely lucrative in an industry whose global turnover is estimated at seventy six billion years. it starts with grimm's fairy tales it starts with princess lily face on every lunch box or suck and it's always the little girls on all products for girls who always look into the camera or look at the viewer the pirates are always in action on the shampoos the puzzles the toys they're always in action and look forward and think about what their next step is and the little girls always look into the camera with a look at tries to say am i beautiful enough that's something we girls have been taught from an early age or ever since. corporations been twice as much with

special boy and girl sets. the manufacture of the colorful stones initially at the time was gender neutral subjects because it was all about one thing building such campaigns are a thing of the past just like the idea that only girls play with dolls or boys stand at the weapons. never the last a blue baby doll sepsis hardly to be found on the market. or. so they. look like they look like playing in them of the cycle goodness i wouldn't say that we've experienced an insane revolution in kindergartens in recent years. of course in big cities like hamburger vienna there are gender neutral kindergartens but

that's not the average many kindergarten still have the doll corner for the girls and the act of one for the boys there's still a lot to be done. as there are definitely more than two genders there are definitely more than the perfect feminine or the perfect masculine and especially people who are either born intersexual transsexual or transgender of course find it incredibly difficult in this world where outside in advertising either the perfect woman in size is thirty four and one hundred seventy six centimeters tall and lovely smiling or the active man with muscles and strength can be seen we have such clear ideas of these only two ideas of being human that it's very difficult for others not only for trans and injure humans but also for the very normal woman who cannot identify with them or the man to cope with them. giuliana is a trans female body one step the color of the wrist sticks of

a mouth it's not until two thousand and eighteen that the w.h.o. states being tromso ident is not a mental illness and playboy germany is proud to have trans women post recently possible pulitzer lism intolerance as a marketing strategy. transgenders don't want to highlight either and physicality plays a big role and how can you make this clear then by exposing yourself that is also connected with insane courage to really free oneself and to expose oneself and to say that i am now a woman i may have been born a man in other words there was a lot of approval and very much positive feedback but there were also fundamentalists on the other side who felt personally attacked that in their awareness of the values and. the media response to the playboy thought it was great but one thing is important for football and she wants to be successful as a woman not just the first transgender model of the playbook it's written because i

want to be a normal woman and not in between somehow i don't have that dichotomy madame man well i accept that you know that's not an accusation not at all but it was very important to me that i was one hundred percent woman. since she can remember she's not been able to identify with her biological sex. and sex but someone i was six i talked to my mother i told her that i wanted to be a girl but she already knew it to. be at all it took a load off my mind i cried with relief she was crying i was crying good bye and while i still have it in mind. it's time to say i never really looked masculine and i always had long hair on the haka based on the food so school days were not so great. the children get older. they get more

hurtful they don't think about it i suffered very much that's become. giuliana has slowly adept at her body to her perceived identity first with almost done with plastic surgery. at sixteen she underwent sex adopting surgery. as a douche like a man long and given the sex change in the genital area well i get goose bumps just thinking about it it was horror for me i was bleeding for at least six days and i almost fell into a coma so i don't like to remember that. it. has of us. look at it so like as a so really every day when the nurse came and changed the sheet i could see all the blood and i was afraid i was crying every day i was really afraid for my life via

and. focus on some of even you had giuliana followed as a model and was a candidate for the t.v. shows i'm a celebrity get me out of here and germany's next top model. which most of us who kissed i looked at the tip on my want everything changed my name my gender and not only on the id but everything. that was. being a woman can still have economic disadvantages for a long time certain professions were reserved for men and even today management positions are often still purely male to change this the idea of quote as has been around since the nineteen eighties until today this instrument polarizers.

this is even smith he studied neuroscience and found at a tech company with this one nobody knows better how disciplined take just being in a woman is economically he experienced it for himself as a woman. so . i certainly remember this one. and this is my mother's house she still lives there me as a very little kid shortly after kindergarten i was already becoming very disconnected from everything around me. but it's hard to to not thank sympathetic things about this little kid. today she is a neuroscientist university professor and berkeley data specialist tech

entrepreneur and assault off to speak at conferences worldwide. it wasn't until the mid thirty's that she decided to have a sex change to depression even homelessness the road to her outing in two thousand and five was rocky. between best photo and less fun i. was. twenty years of insomnia and. eating disorders and self loathing. and then one night i told my then fiance. completely out of the not intending anything to come from you want to know my date are secret is that i wish i was a woman. they are still married to the main first group lost

thirty kilos and at first women's clothes only at home only when the wife was pregnant with their second child did she start hormone treatment. yesterday and truly made a big impact on me you know some things for more modest or subtle like in the sense that is really a good thing like the fact that i'd be doing the dishes and then suddenly i'd find i just crying you know like i was going through a second puberty and and my wife is pregnant and i'm going to puberty and it was amazing i'd break out laughing all the time and i could just express emotions that i just never could express when i was a man and i loved that i loved being much more open we meet them at a conference in stockholm she talks about her latest technological developments

such as smartphone apps with artificial intelligence or big data analysis and about the difference of entering the world as man or woman because she knows both in this world as a woman she receives less money from investors for startups and is taken less seriously especially in the technology industry. the amazing thing is even though everyone knew me before so this was an entirely new group of people the day i showed up as me as vivian for the first time is the last time anyone ever asked me a math question it was very stark to see how differently i was treated one day to the next and it was. really shocking. not that i didn't into it that this is the case but tex parents had to feel it. you know to have people

suddenly open doors feel thinking it's nice literally in the same moment that they say i like to think i treat men and women the same and like well then why is this the first time you've ever opened a door for me in my life. it was a fascinating experience the difference in pay between men and women is known as the gender pay gap prefers to speak of the checks for being different to the scent she collected a turn to evaluate at the extra work women take on to get the same job as a man. it adds up to two hundred fifty thousand dollars in the tech industry in the usa. if you're a young woman trying to get into the technology industry then you have to go to morally schools earn higher degrees work for longer periods of time even if you're equally qualified if you want that same job so you know you look at this the tax something different and you look at similar like the wage gap and you see how

prevalent they are and it's it's enormously frustrating. because what you're seeing isn't simply that one person is being harmed and they are but what you're actually seeing is that the entire. world is paying this tax and getting no benefit from it there's no bridges being belt there are no roads being paved this is just heat loss in our economy it is us hurting ourselves. even though vivian million also teaches at universities like berkeley how is she doing in a world where more and more young people do not commit themselves to men or women and understand gender boundaries as fluid. after everything i went through and so many hours on surgery tables and so many years working for all of this and now some college student walks up to me and you know with

a funny haircut and says call me they and i think how dare you i work so hard to be who i am and you just get to ask me to call you something different and and then i thought what does it matter to me this makes this person happy this is their chance to explore who they are. and. it's. the.
