to finish my time i define myself as a man who of course also has his fluid or rather feminine parts has the conflict woman man doesn't exist for me. can't they i can't blame i don't have no problem to have the feeling that i'm not accepting the way i am if it weren't for those strict categories all the time in standards and in. the public affairs 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 c.n.n. hero as old so all in all it takes half a day but it's always fun painting on your own face is also an art form really thing and i can exist home some are now honey const far. we have company ben through the history museum in vienna. the art historian also a first go i did too it was as a drag queen. a form of performance that uses the stylistic device of exaggeration to blood gender roles it's. the same you see on my hand 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. i did super didn't attack

fish i'm not if you go home and say so 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 in a horrid 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 its direct queen tolls the on a mediator has a stablished something new he had in order to question typical gender concepts as a child i really like to play with dolls and polly pocket and shop guy name can not gotten it and i'm not in majors and i love playing with dolls with the other girls in kindergarten and legal dispirit but i also like to play lego with the boys and build some rocket launching airplanes so i would say i was somehow opened for both

speculated whether their boy is 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 blond 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. kalimantan

steve i think most people today understand that when i walk around like this i don't want to be a woman but rather positional character who somehow looks wild and interesting the view to them to sound off but i do believe that drag is the possibility for many people to try out their own gender identity. as you know i expected him to take ousts of course and for ben dracula's disguising himself again with identity an art form and does not contradict the fact that he enjoys being a man. into submission and i find it quite casual that i have the great privilege as a man to just do my hair a little and it will do that's super easy going to support years ago i think. the boundaries between masculinity and femininity have always been blurred the so-called in between i.e.

into general people is also a theme in mythology and opt. in these are taina at this and a panic and in this cabinet there was a small gentleman with the hermaphrodite as a mythological figure from greek roman antiquity which has sexual characteristics of both sexes last and in those days there were men and women and people in between things. in fact it is also interesting that such gems were worn as pieces of jewelry so it was nothing strange one wanted to keep away from oneself as one from this fan hype and fart. for a long time the world was divided into man and woman pink and sky blue whoever is different did not exist in official documents at the end of two thousand and seventeen the federal constitutional court in germany makes a groundbreaking building not taking the third option into account contradicts the

it like this role this erica role i couldn't play it one hundred percent because it was only an acting role i was only shown how a girl moves gets egged on b.c. i make. a real girl moves differently though there's always the same. only now i see how i walked with a handbag the quick steps and so does a home in the what they call a get in with a colleague showed me how to behave correctly the fact that the education you give us a bit of the mafia ultimate off of the comedy then name him but they know. he's in the niche and on the common good. he sits on his hands and say hey. you know it's. male female that was not. even korea to see nega front of the austrian national team after puberty his breasts did not grow and his menstruation did not

missy that bordered on that if these they get the ground had been pulled out from under my feet but i knew that only in sport i was some that i was acknowledged otherwise i was a juxtaposition the one they smiled at pointing fingers asking are you a man or a woman say five b.c. it's amanda you'll have it. 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 a first it. they

used to think of me as an ugly duckling and suddenly i was a handsome young man with a short haircut border but first my hair stood like that on the end 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 shunts only had a nine twelve i mean i do know that there is a big difference in the stock with an bases that i'm. each boy demanding better so on i wanted to strengthen my personal i wanted to show that i'm a real man and many only wanted that 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 lets him. but he's also made a six head over the a for erica has been removed to turn it to eric. organized.

this to see him up up. east gale first austin when i'm walking on the street and if someone shouts behind me erica going it's i can't control myself that quickly and turn around erica there's a part of me. i did this is the every case by me yet even though. even if she is a three time grandfather and married for the second time he only had surgery at the age of nineteen and. many into sexual children are still operated on immediately after birth without any medical necessity many suffer for the rest of the launch. that isa sufyan five it is better to wait until puberty pain and let the person decide for oneself the support that the it s. when banded so on 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 could endure i am with you so what you have to feel something like that and that something else is on the ice. yes daily. yes he must think. this about this first life as erika that was embarrassing honey i didn't want to know anything about this life today at seventeen each time i proud of this life that was childhood sport i was supported on all sides but he's been interested i'd say in spades nearly in my second life i mean my name was a big obstacle and i was kicked with feet and hands these didn't get paid

if i had to go i wasn't allowed to be anything anymore and i think i was even more harm than at first mere. time pizzerias but of our 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 to the brutal full contact sport. it's a no go i tried yoga it wasn't possible because i was fat. the type of computer knew 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. as well as a lot of it is the case in roller derby that there is a task for everybody but also one which is a team. it's 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. somebody 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 follow up and it's extremely beneficial to hear this an acceptance of the fact

that this exists. extreme void almost. cut to identify as neither as a man or a woman and describes herself as not binary contessa originally from germany lives with a challenge 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 this info in forms even if the possibility of a third option is dismissed as unimportant for money for cutter it is a central thing of identity. one's need to restate his stand 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. does this move by them or 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 in this gambit. shoulder chest or back i used to fend off opponents bust lips broken elbows and sprained ankles are part of the game. i.

see as 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 operates as 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 want to buy clothes for sports this is a 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 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 sports with them on the. the. thing is 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 i'll choose a finished every wednesday evening i. get seen 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 with movie 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 status 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 soul obviously so it's always been and i think it's much more pleasant to have people accepted 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 you know usually stream of. understanding. how to scots i want to be addressed. and it's 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 in and only underscores asterisks are now considered to be contemporary in order to represent everyone.

making the going to be to live if this just can't see further this plague or to get . past of that like i was invited into the streets for in straight miss hotter than a box i don't like to tour like this tournament never said it was a partial knock i meant it this is the. water under the bridge we visit a gender sensitive kindergarten 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 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. hear. 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 make up or too much in 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 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 of one go to regina's gender stereotypes so that men and women have equal opportunities to criticize sexist but on sing 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 not sexy yes sexist no it explains what sexism is and what isn't and very important i love pink hate pink vacation. one country think that's really laugh 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 a bright woman is and in this time it's of course a gender marketing which says the 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 now also available in pink and blonde 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 turnovers 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 and 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 earn twice as much with a special boy and girl since. the manufacture of the colorful stones and the surely advertised 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 a boy stunned at the weapons. never the less a blue baby doll set as hardly to be found on the market.

value. looks like they. are playing and i am of the second i thought 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 a few 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 act of 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 men to cope with them. giuliana is a trans female the body ones have the characteristics of a mom it's just not on till two thousand and eighteen that the w.h.o. states being tromso i gent it's not a mental illness and playboy germany is proud to have trans women post recently possible pulitzer lism and tolerance 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. the media response to the playboy type was great but one thing is important for football and she wants to be successful as a woman not test the first transgender model of the playbook mr 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 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 some and i was six i talked to my mother i told her that i wanted to be

a girl but she already knew it to count so i accepted. it took a load off my mind i cried with relief she was crying i was crying and for like two thousand and nine. it's time to say i never really looked masculine and i always had long hair on the haka because that would say school days were not so great. the children get older they get more hurt for they don't think about it i suffered very much. judy and i have slowly adept at her body to have perceived identity first with homeowners then with plastic surgery. at sixteen she underwent sex adopting surgery. as

the one known and given the sex change in the genital area well i get goosebumps 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. at the naacp. so really every day when the nurse came and changed the sheet i'd 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 even have. a fall out 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 clip from i want everything changed my name my gender and not only on the idol but everything it. was. all.

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 quotas has been around since the one nine hundred eighty s. until today this instrument polarizers. this is even smith he studied neuroscience and founded a tech company with this one nobody knows better how deception take just being 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 do not think sympathetic things about this kid. today she is a neuroscientist university professor and berkeley data specialist tech entrepreneur and assault off just 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 nest. was.

twenty years 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 secret is that i wish i was a woman. they are still married to the main first grew her hair 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. asters and truly made a big impact on me you know some things were 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 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 and 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 the start ups 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 text spirit said to feel that. 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 like well then why is this the first time you've ever opened a door for me and 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 tax for being different to the cent she collected data and evaluate the extra work women take on to get the same job as

a man. that's 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 on being 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 through all this and now as a 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 that they are. in and he's.
