The Importance of Being Alice | Alice Miller | TEDxStanford

A former CIA operative and a naval academy teacher, Alice Miller shares her decision at the age of 50 to transition from male to female, and to live a life she calls “true to herself.” Her story starts when she was young and “trying to be a normal boy.” It ends with why she named her talk, “The Importance of Being Alice.” Alice Lyman Miller also taught for 15 years at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif. Before coming to Stanford in 1999, Miller was a China analyst in the CIA and taught at the School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, D.C. She is co-author of Becoming Asia: Change and Continuity in Asian International Relations Since World War II (Stanford University Press, 2011), and is working on a new book, tentatively entitled The Evolution of Chinese Grand Strategy, 1550-Present. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
