You're listening to TED Talks Daily, where we bring you new ideas to spark your curiosity every day.

I'm your host, Elise Hu.

Today is the International Transgender Day of Visibility, founded in 2009 by activist Rachel Crandall.

It was created to combat the discrimination that transgender and non-binary people face across the world.

and to celebrate and honor the resilience, joy, and accomplishments of trans folk everywhere.

We are resharing a talk that is as moving today as it was more than a decade ago from model, director, and activist Gina Rosero.

She shares her story of becoming who she always knew she was.

And stick around afterwards for a brief onstage Q&A between Gina and journalist Catherine Schultz.

That's all coming up right after a short break.

And now, our TED Talk of the day.

That was Gina Rosero speaking at TED 2014.
