Jessica Lynn's Transgender Journey

Wednesday, 28 February 2018

International speaker and outspoken advocate for transgender issues Jessica Lynn will be talking about her transgender journey on Friday 9 March.

The event is scheduled for18:00-19:30 in G10, Henley Business School (Whiteknights campus).

Lynn is renowned for her dynamic and refreshingly honest speaking style. She is consistently in demand at many of the world’s biggest universities, zigzagging from college to college in an effort to educate and inform students on her own experiences as a parent living as a transgender woman.

As the former president of Your True Gender, a non-profit based in California, and now a Global Ambassador to the Kinsey Institute, Lynn helps coordinate workshops and conferences.

Her position in life has left her uniquely qualified to testify to the hardships as well as the ultimate fulfilment of gender transition, in legal standing and in her personal life. Her last conference, which she led in October of 2015, brought leading experts in medicine, psychology, and legality to bridge an extensive array of subject matter to thousands of attendees from across the United States.

Currently, she is in the process of organising a two-day conference for November 2018 with the Kinsey Institute to help share knowledge of the transgender and non-binary communities with researchers from universities around the world.

Lynn is a loving parent, fiercely dedicated to her children. Her mission in educating students on her story is to reunite with her youngest son who, after a Texas court ruling, was taken from her due to her transgender status.

She is an advocate, educator, and parent who is actively engaged in pressing conversations surrounding the transgender experience.

Listeners can attest to the often-personal connections they have made with her, experiencing a full range of emotions.
