WATCH – This TEDx Talk By Galwegian Ivan Fahy Celebrates Uniqueness

'Let's celebrate and embrace diversity.'

Ellen Tannam

Ivan Fahy is an androgynous model and activist who celebrates gender diversity, self-expression and everyone’s innate uniqueness.

He believes that people should be free from society’s limitations and be allowed to express their gender however they see fit.

Fahy regularly leads classes on a range of topics, such as gender, sexuality, consent, being LGBTQ, sexual health, body confidence, norms, and anti-homophobic and transphobic bullying, to secondary school and university students.

He was recently at the TEDx event in Galway last week and delivered a powerful and emotive message about how he refuses to limit himself in terms of gender, and how gender can in fact sometimes restrict individuals from being their true selves.

It’s a brilliant watch, have a look below:
