  • Schuyler Bailar is the first openly transgender athlete to compete in any sport on an NCAA Division 1 men’s team. By 15, he was one of the nation’s top 20 15-year-old breast strokers. By 17, he set a national age group record. Now he swims for Harvard University. Schuyler’s difficult choice - to transition while potentially giving up the prospect of being an NCAA Champion - was historic and timely. His story has appeared everywhere from The Washington Post to 60 Minutes and The Ellen Show. Schuyler chronicles his experiences on Instagram - @pinkmantaray - so others may explore his example in their journey.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    He is an amazing person and true inspiration. I've been following him on IG for some time now and every single time his posts give me strength to push forward, to not give up, to hope for better tommorow. I was smiling throughout the whole talk, proud for him, and his achievements. Truly beautiful person, on the inside and the outside.

    Lol. Dude has another video with the human rights organization where he tried to debunk myths about transgendered people in sports.
    The 2nd myth he attempts to debunk is about it not being fair physically for transgendered woman to compete in women’s sports.
    His only arguments are how in men’s sports, size and strength differences are celebrated. In women’s sports they are not celebrated and women are looked down upon for looking like men.
    He says in rooted in transphobia and racism. He says nothing, absolutely nothing about the biological differences in strength, muscularity, time of muscle growth etc.
    Moronic for that one.

    Sounds like people in your life just exist to appease you instead of speaking truth. In reality, when your bones are dug up a thousand years from now they will still know you are a woman, just as every person in existence could be catalogued as man or woman. You need help, I only blame your family which refuses to tell you the truth, and the people that promulgate delusion all in service to their own self interests (cue the self-righteous accusations of transphobia or some other -ism in the replies). Those who speak the truth are brandished as hateful. Those who are feeding to delusion are brandished as brave and beautiful. It’s time to wake up everyone.

    This woman openly promotes hormones and appears to have deals with pharma companies. Young kids see this and it's not appropriate. She also has tonnes of CRT ideology on her IG and has posted false information about police shootings. Not an honest, moral or admirable person at all, and kids should not be exposed to her!

      I was a trans kid with no representation. I didn’t figure out I was trans until my mid 30s. That’s when I felt joy for the first time I can ever remember. I would have killed to know someone else like me existed when I was little.
