I've lived as a man and as a woman

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 the talk video hereto, 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."

If you’re a man, at one point or another you’ve probably thought to yourself, “I will never understand women!” And if you’re a woman, “what's wrong with men?!” But your gender is all you've ever known, so how could you understand? As a transgender woman, Paula Stone Williams has lived on both sides, “and the differences are massive!” In this funny and insightful talk, Paula shares her wisdom for all.
