I've lived as a man and as a woman — here's what I've learned
Speaker
About this talk
Today Paula Stone Williams is a pastoral counselor and woman — but for the first 60 years of her life, Williams identified as male. After coming out as transgender in December 2012, Williams was swiftly fired from a position as an evangelical Christian leader. In this talk, she reflects about the male privilege she once had and how she's being treated now as a woman. "I am learning a lot about what it means to be a female, and I am learning a lot about my former gender," she says. "I'm here to tell you: The differences are massive."
