Language around gender and identity evolves (and always has) | Archie Crowley
Visit to get our entire library of TED Talks, transcripts, translations, personalized talk recommendations and more.
Dictionaries and grammar “rules“ don’t have the final word on language — and believing they do can harm more than help, especially for the trans community. Sociolinguist Archie Crowley deconstructs three common myths around language, demonstrating how it’s a fluid system that naturally evolves in the direction of inclusion.
The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).
