through your head right now.
actually a man or actually a woman?"
여자라고 말하는 거 아니야?"
오른쪽은 쳐다봐도 괜찮겠지."
that's a safe place to look."
진짜 남자면 저런 엉덩이일리가 없거든."
No real man has hips like those."
to use the men's bathroom.
those hypothetical questions
들어가기 전에 이쯤에서
my personal experiences being transgender,
제 경험을 나누러 온 거니까요.
wanting to tell an entire audience
생각하진 않았지만요.
with being trans, right?
wondering how we have sex
트랜스젠더가 어떻게 섹스를 하고
we're working with below the belt.
착용하는지 궁금해하죠.
I was assigned at birth
맞지 않아서만은 아니예요.
when they're around me.
곤란해하기 때문입니다.
trans people wholeheartedly
다른 트랜스젠더들은
진심으로 두려워합니다.
what they think they should,
알지 못하는 것을
물어보지도 않아요.
about coming out as transgender
가장 걱정되는 부분은
wouldn't know what I meant.
알지 못하는 것입니다.
impressions of you
당신을 평가하게 됩니다.
of music and videos
single person I came out to.
메일 서명으로 그 파일을 썼죠.
for months afterwards,
don't ever stop coming out.
멈춰서는 안 되거든요.
helping me with my taxes
which one of them should pat me down,
커밍아웃했습니다.
여자가 수색해야 할 지 고민하더군요.
to everyone watching this.
커밍아웃하고 있는 거죠.
with me being trans,
별 반응을 보이지 않았어요.
about physically transitioning,
like so many other people,
똑같은 반응을 할 때 깨달았습니다.
단 한 가지를 의미한다는 걸요.
means just one thing:
사회통념상 완벽한 남자로
기적같은 수술이 있다면
of a man overnight,
gender-affirming surgeries
수십개가 있습니다.
만들어주는 수술까지요.
one procedure in their lifetime, if that.
보통 평생동안,
personally feel the need
is only beginning to cover them.
보장해주기 어려운것도 이유죠.
seeking physical transition
첫번째로 찾게 되는 신체 변이는
and some sparse whiskers on my neck
드문드문한 목의 수염,
나게 해주죠.
through a second puberty ...
2차 성징이 일어나게 되죠.
are slower and steadier
느리게 진행되기 때문에
can lead people to believe,
오해가 진실로 느껴지죠.
대명사로 불러야 하는 지는
by their new name and pronouns.
in physical transition
진짜 성을 가지게 되는
becomes their true gender.
their new name and pronouns,
대명사를 알려줬을 때가
사용하기에 적합한 때일 겁니다.
with other trans people.
Puff Daddy to P. Diddy,
피 디디로 바뀌었을 때도
when we've used the wrong gender pronoun
사과를 한다면,
the same effort
people more awkward about trans people
공중화장실 이용 문제만큼
for LGBT opponents.
최근에 주장하는 '정치적 화약고'죠.
of assaulting someone in a public bathroom
화장실 성폭행을 더 많이 저지른 분은
more scared of you than you are of us.
무서워하는 것보다
in trans communities
어떤 화장실을 언제부터 사용하는 지는
to start using and when,
that could lead to violence against us.
일어날 수 도 있는데
사람들이 저를 보고
and frightened looks in the women's room,
남자화장실을 사용했습니다.
to start going into the men's room.
무서웠지만요.
not go to the bathroom at all.
화장실을 가지 않는걸 선택하죠.
대상으로 한 설문조사에서
had had a urinary tract infection
대답했습니다.
aren't protecting anyone.
보호해주지 못하고 있습니다.
are assaulted in bathrooms,
당하게 하죠.
when we report it.
법은 저희의 편을 들어주지 않습니다.
of these misconceptions.
일상처럼 받는다는 것을 뜻합니다.
of privilege mountain.
of trans knowledge
기초 지식을 알려드리려고 합니다.
to more learning on your own.
and educate those around you
우리를 비난하지 않게 해 주세요.
비난에서 벗어나게 해 주세요.
트랜스젠더입니다."라고 말했을 때,
이것 하나뿐이게 될 겁니다.
