From this Ted Talk, I learned that community is one of the most important things for young gender non conforming and trans children. If it weren't for the community, Reed would not have been able to find her true self and freely share herself with the outside world. It is sad to see that in our community people have to hide their true selves because of unaccepting people. I'm glad that Reed was able to find a community that supported her. I can relate this back to teaching and being a future educator because I want to build a community that supports each student in my classroom no matter what their identity looks like.
