How I Bridged My Two Opposites | Geraldine Roman | TEDxXavierSchool

The first openly transgender congresswoman, Geraldine Roman shares her intimate, powerful story on how - despite her sexual orientation and political background - religion and family have helped in her pursuit of finding who she truly is. In 2016, Geraldine Roman rocked the nation's political landscape when she became the first ever transgender to be elected to the House of Representatives. Her victory marked a new wave of cultural and legislative reform across the country. To many, she represents the importance of progressive attitudes in the midst of a dominant conservative voice. One year in, and she continues to remain an active representative for both her constituents in the District of Bataan, as well as her many allies in the fight for gender equality and mental health awareness. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
