How an Evangelical pastor became a trans ally | Kevin R. Scott | TEDxWilsonPark

What does it take to stand up for those who are vulnerable and misunderstood? In this heartfelt and powerful talk, Kevin R. Scott shares his personal journey as a father to a transgender daughter and an ally to the trans community. From calling out harmful comments to confronting systemic injustice, this talk explores the courage and compassion needed to protect and support transgender people. Scott sheds light on the challenges trans people face today, from legislative attacks to everyday bullying, and highlights the transformative power of simple actions: believing their stories, doing no harm, and using their name and pronouns. Through personal anecdotes and startling statistics, this talk offers a clear call to action: stand up to trans bullies, support trans lives, and be part of a world where everyone is treated with humanity and respect. Kevin R. Scott is an ordained pastor, author, and LGBTQ ally with a master’s degree in exegetical theology. For many years, he served as an executive, writer, and speaker for a well-known nonprofit ministry that trains laypeople to provide ongoing care and support for individuals experiencing emotional and spiritual challenges in a safe and confidential way. As the father of an adult transgender person, Kevin now focuses on creating safe spaces for LGBTQ people and their allies to receive emotional and spiritual care. His most recent book, Awakening Faith: A Guide for Loving Those Who Leave the Church, provides guidance to concerned loved ones on how to create safe spaces for those deconstructing their faith. #TransDayofVisibility #TDOV You can connect with Kevin on TikTok: @kevin.r.scott This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
