She was my therapist!!! miss her sm :'-)

I'm not American, but there are a lot of negative stereotypes about The South there - so it was really refreshing to see such a great person speaking with that accent, smashing stereotypes.

As a premedical student, this was one of the most interesting ted talks I’ve ever listened to. I realized doctors weren’t trained in trans issues and health, but I didn’t realize the extent. Thank you for bringing attention to such an important issue.

its very refreshing to hear someone with a southern USian accent talking so progressive! Amazing speech!

I went to a LGBT health center. I had such a good experience. They were so friendly and understanding.

You are a hero Dr. Kristie Overstreet. Thank you so much for doing more than your share to help our community.

I'm trans and I hate going to dr, it doesn't go away no matter how much you try to hide it.

Well said! Thanks for being an ally of my community:)

This theory that endocrinologist are prescribing hormones because it's profitable is puzzling to me. These are generic substances that are fairly inexpensive in the US, and doctors can specialize in other areas of medicine that are far more profitable.

I was married 16 years and faithful. My wife was my second partner in my lifetime . My Dr knew this. He made me get an HIVtest

This is the second time I watched this on KZfaq. I am an occupational therapist by trade. I am also a 2 timer on this very stage. In my professional experience, I get to know some of my colleagues who are LGBTQ+. One thing I have learned is to not treat them any different than anybody else. At the workplace (and at other contexts that I meet them), I need to treat them with respect. I think this would be a great foundation if I were to see a LGBTQ individual in my regular job as a patient. Then, if specific things arise, I would try to remember such experiences and then try to ask such colleagues for advices. Before I started this career, I would say I would have been uncomfortable with this population. I was uncomfortable because I didn't want to say anything that would offend such individuals. Hence, I would rather go with safe topics and try to observe and listen before taking a risk. I feel that if we all can take a step back and do so without judgment (especially health professionals), we can go a long way to serve the needs of the LGBTQ patients better.

I wish all doctors were like you! It's not even just an issue of getting transition related medical help or mental health treatment, even doctors from other areas tend to either just not have any idea of it or they're downright rude. Thank you for educating yourself and helping educate others!

I believe the best think you can do to learn more is to ask the specific individual. Be honest and admit that you don't understand or are confused and want to understand the individual better. Tell them that they don't need to answer if they would rather not, and then ask your question. It's best to have that person answer than to try finding out elsewhere because only that person knows themself best.

4:30 "HIV test"!!!! What does it have to do with the patient's request???

Notice how most of this could be avoided if everyone just treated eachother equally.

Astounding talk. Thank you. Medical professionals need to strive to provide excellent care for ALL PATIENTS.

'If you don't speak up for your healthcare needs, no one will help you?' What if no one for a year straight or two has helped me despite trying endlessly? This is impossible. It was impossible in every state I've lived in.

I can totally relate to this. The first doctor I saw to get HRT wanted to give me estrogen. My second doctor is more understanding and wants to give me testosterone but assumes I want to go on full dose, when what I actually want is to start on low dose gel. We'll see if I can talk him down at our next appointment.

I'm afraid of this as a transguy.

Fun comment section. 😒 I just really don't get transphobes (as well as homophobes) at all. Why does it matter to you if someone wants to transition? It's not your body. It's not hurting you. You just seem so ridiculous getting so worked up over this.

That was excellent. I wish everyone could hear your presentation.

she did get some major things wrong about trans people but im glad someone is speaking up about this topic

She is so well spoken.

As a trans male to female, I found your story 180 degrees from mine story. My PCP has no issue with it, my HRT doctor is ok and my wife is backing me up for the two years. Wish we could talk.

I wish there was more people in the audience

I wish more doctors were like her

Omg I want to cry, you are amazing, I on the other hand 55 married kids career, been dressing since age 6, been to 3 gender therapist all giving me same, severe gender dysphoria, in there professional opinion start hormones transition you will be amazed how happy you will become, fear has me stuck, I keep suppressing every day thinking I can stop save my marriage not have to put this strain on my kids parents family friends, worry about job. Everyday this is all I think dream about all day everyday, I am scared, listening to you and your empathy warms my heart, but fear for such wonderful people like you there are probably 5-10 who aren't, I am shy introverted submissive don't like confrontation, which all the therapist tend to belive will go away, I love your strength, I want to hear more thank you for what you do

You rock Kristie. That was a great talk!

Thank you Kristie Overstreet PhD for educating the world.

You are a wonderful human being. God bless you and keep you. A lovely voice that was so lovely to listen. Keep up the good work.

Powerful and informative. Thank you, Kristie.

Can I give this another thumbs-up?

Many things lacking from Drs these days. Another to add to the list is treating a patient as another number. "Profit over people" is what we see today. Hardly any cures unless some big shot Dr or research center gets paid out.

ive never heard a cis person use this much of the right terminology for trans people

Everything thinks all trans people call the 'transphobic' card but literally, I'll just tell you what you said is offensive and like, if you say that's it's the truth and I shouldn't be offended, that is bad... That is transphobic. Because you can't tell me, a trans person, what is offensive to us and what shouldn't be said. You feel?

She did a great job! She's very good at explaining these concepts in a digestible way, I hope to see more talks from her in the future

What does it "feel like" to be a male, or female? What is the definition of male, or female? What special medical needs does a gender nonconforming person need that is a different medical need from a gender conforming person (if not related to HRT)?

Great talk. It put things simply. I did not realize people were getting treated like this at the Doctors office. Sad

I only had one VA Dr in Long Beach, CA VA in 1991 that called me sir, and he refused to call me Mrs because I was married and my husband was also a veteran. All my VA Dr's whom I've had over the past 6 yrs call be by the proper female pronouns and treat me a such, and prior to getting my care with the VA, my private practice Dr's also treat me as a female. And they truly care about my health

My Dr.s are transgendered. .....and I'm a woman. I've never had a problem. Our kids play on the same soccer team.

the doctors are so scared of me. many they ask me way too many questions when they realize i'm trans give me weird looks or just.. it's hard to explain

At the Atomic level we are same but it is our unquestioned notions that violates this idea.

This is a very good talk by a cis doctor, but intersex isn’t on the gender spectrum like she said. Thanks for being a positive influence on behalf of the trans community.

This is how. People are. Rude. Look, Doctors are meant to help them. I am one of them but. Why must they reject about it?

this is empowering from a trans -experience

Love this, Thank you Dr. Kristie

Excellent Talk, and very educational information.

ugh, that moment you had Ovarian cancer but you're legally a dude.

Thank you 🌸💙🌸💙🌸💙🌸

I’m contemplating moving to Oregon, I currently live in Florida and I’m miserable. I have been post op 15 years. Florida is not very progressive. Can anyone give me some insights Of trans folks living in Oregon.

Love the talk, and LOVE the accent!

Sry just have to point out a quote 'A TG person is human' ... I know how its ment but... thats obvious. And should be for everyone. What makes her even say such a terrible thing? Should NOT be pointed out. To treat PEOPLE (sry not just any specific group) with respect they deserve SHOULD BE NORMAL

Hello, My family doctor was male , I switched to a lady doctor who understands ME. ( with help from other nice women . . .

Thank you Dr. Overstreet

I found this video because I experienced something uncomfortable at a doctors office today. Not the one who is overseeing my transition but a different one. The office people were so nice and accommodating but the doctor was the one who said something off color. This helped me realize compassion for doctors as well.

I love your podcast. Thank you

Exactly, I hear alot of 'look in between your pants if you're confused and you'll realize that your a female.' I haven't come out yet, but can imagine my dad saying that to me.

Completed name change. Been on hrt about 5-6 years. Got a call from methodist san Antonio about a kidney transplant. Was denies for not seeing a therapist. Replied why I need one when I fulfilled my transition. They just made up excuses I would be a risk.

What state is this wonderful woman from. .

Wow, It was very refreshing listening to your video. Thank you so very very much

Thank you...and shame on you for ruining my makeup.

I'm not gonna let my fear to stop me being true to myself.

Dr Overstreet is an angel

I think encouraging doctors to use the proper pronouns and educating them to feel more confortable with trans people is wonderful. However, an attempt by activists to compel by law every citizen to use these pronouns is scary.

Well said

Thank you for your support. I speak as well to educate. Check out my TEDxWilmington talk.

Kristie I love this!!!

9:29 Estimated 10 million American adults are trans? 5 years ago? In 2022 that estimation is only 1.3 million based on UCLA research. 🤔 11:56 now it is 1.4 million. 5 years ago. Nothing changed since? 🤔

How to be saved and be right with God for eternal life! As anyone can get saved! 1-Admit you’re a sinner and be willing to turn from your own self righteousness to God. 2-Believe onto Jesus Christ,who being the begotten Son of God, died on the cross, was buried and resurrected for the full forgiveness of our sins as a free gift. 3-Confess onto God,asking to be saved by accepting this free gift of salvation, to start a new born again life after being saved from your sins by this free gift. Scripture links below from the King James Bible. The Romans road to salvation. 1.Romans 3:10, “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" 2.Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” 3.Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." 4.Romans 5:12, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for all that have sinned:" 5.Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” 6.Romans 10:9, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” 7.Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” An example of what to pray to God to get saved and forgiven of your sins. “Dear God, I am a sinner and need saving. I know I’m not good enough to get to heaven and I need you to save me. I need the righteousness of your son, Jesus Christ. I believe that Jesus is the lord, who died, was buried and resurrected so that his precious blood can wash away my sins. I trust in him alone to save me. Nothing else. Not my good works or anything else. Only Jesus. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.” More scripture. John 3:15-17 15."That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." 16."For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." 17."For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” Romans 5:8-9 8."But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9."Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, 1."Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2."By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.” 3."For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;” 4."And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” Hebrews 9:27-28 27."And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" 28."So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Ephesians 2:8-9 8."For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:" 9."Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Revelation 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” More Scripture for how people will act before/in the last days. 1 Timothy 4:1-5 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;" 2."Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 3."Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth..” 4."For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving” 5."For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.” 2 Timothy 3:1-7 1."This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come." 2."For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy," 3."Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good," 4."Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;" 5."Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." 6."For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts," 7."Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

They are worried about lawsuits if they state facts.

Thanks for sharing!♥️

I wish she was my therapist the story of Leah was my story over here the U.K.

Oh boy, this is how this stuff started. Wish we caught thep problem sooner before it reached ideological level. I realize this doctor wanted to do good, and many who caused the harm did the same.

I don't want for a second want to be ungrateful for cis people who serve the trans community. But what we really need is trans doctors and nurses. We need to be empowered by being included in the power structure.

I so appreciate what she had to say. I'm nonbinary and on HRT and it's so weird that even the doctors I've seen who understand I'm on HRT, never get my pronouns right. And heck, I changed dentists because of transphobia I'd experienced at my long time dentist office.

This is beautiful.

Oh please, they're not scared enough to not take their insurance details to pay for medically unnecessary and insanely expensive surgeries.

🤔imagine if humans were a gender less doll; we ASSUME it is m/f based on visual persecution/biological! Now ask do you feel or m/f!

Thank you for this

Amazing Lady! She gets it and we should all follow her lead!

Everyone is trying to blame physicians, both for the assignment of gender and bias in treatment. There is no evidence that physicians or the health care system is biased. Using correct pronouns is not medical treatment.

Sensational **

🙏🏼

I have also felt rejection because I was assigned a human body. Laugh or insult me, but bigots are on the wrong side of history.

Mind not mine!

2:15 "very real fear of violence, discrimination, and lack of acceptance" yup!!

R.I.P the comment section :/

If you make any negative criticism on this video the comment gets deleted straight away. Strange that....

Is it because they are human and therefore make mistakes such as misgendering someone, and are afraid that a trans person will report them for accidentally misgendering and they will end up losing their licence?

This is so on the money, it's not real. Thank you Dr. Overstreet!!

Gynecology (n.) also gynaecology, "science of women's health and of the diseases peculiar to women," 1847, from French gynécologie, from Latinized form of Greek gynaiko-, combining form of gynē "woman, female," from PIE root *gwen- "woman." Second element is from French -logie "study of," from Greek (see -logy).

I have haaad a vision! A light from the great beyond. Massive lawsuits. Billions in judgments. Wealthy lawyers. Hallelujah brothers and sisters.

love

She sounds like clarice in silence of the lambs

Yeah that's what my guardian probably say I don't even need a garden a lot of times though it's just my mom died and there you go

...for the same reason a auto mechanic will not try to fix a Boeing 747 that was fitted with Volkswagen engine....?

Thank you!

Are you only allowed to choose your gender if you have gender disphoria or can you turn into whatever you want because why not

No tolerance for dissenting opinions, no room for discussion.

U R AMAZING THANK YOU
