iO Tillett Wright: Fifty shades of gay
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 янв 2013
- Photographer iO Tillett Wright grew up between genders and sexualities. She's shot 2,000 people who consider themselves somewhere on the LBGTQ spectrum and asked many: can they assign a percentage to how gay or straight they are? Most people consider themselves to exist in the grey areas of sexuality, which presents a real problem when it comes to discrimination. Because where do you draw the line? (Filmed at TEDxWomen.)

Our character is reflected by the friends we choose.
Exactly, and 'Oi, Toilette!' has chosen to be friends with Amber Turd the abuser!
Now that I know about iO involvement in the Depp/Heard situation, I question the authenticity and character of iO.
How do you know the person you are supporting when you consider they were willing to stab a good person in back, not to mention commiting perjury
Maybe iO is brainwashed by Amber? She/he seems so well spoken but if being told endlessly by AH that she was being abused, she may have just believed her.
He already does it on himself by changing his genders as if he was a chameleon changing colours. This guy has a deep empty hole in his soul.
Great talk from a person who would lie about domestic abuse for Amber Heard. I don't care what gender your identify with and who you are attracted to but the fact that IO TILLET WRIGHT is a citizen who lied under oath and continues to do so. I have looked into the evidence that was made public, made my own conclusions and listened to sources who represent high standards and transparency.
Well Amber Heard is the one who ultimately lied...but I dont think this is the space to take up this talk ..start your own page and continue with discussion.
@Diana Cornwall actually you a wrong Io has committed perjury n people deserve to know who this person is they r supporting, they deserve to know this person is morally ok with maliciously slandering someones name and lying to authorities, does not deserve to be a role model
@@dianacornwell2258 LOL "this isn't the space!!" Honey, this is the internet. It's the PERFECT space
If she lies to herself then she would have no problem lying to the court. Apparently living off Johnny Depp has confused her. I think she is easily confused about the truth
@@dianacornwell2258 who are you to tell people what they can talk about? Get down from your self righteous pedestal, and remember you’re just another stranger, eh?
Repay Johnny’s letting you off the hook, by lying about him.? You should be on your knees asking Johnny’s forgiveness. And you know what, because Johnny is such a gentle soul he probably would forgive you.
Too bad we cant take anything iO says seriously after he tried to further his own aspirations and career by riding the coattails of his more famous friends. Then proceeded to lie for one friend to destroy another friend, the friend that actually helped him out. Who can trust the word of someone like that.
iO do yourself a favor and salvage what you can of your reputation, come clean and tell the truth.
**Shameless liar**
Does not deserve to be on a platform
This person outed an underage child (Lili Rose Depp, 16 years old) as bi when she was not, and used her image without her mother and/or fathers consent to promote his project "Self Evident Truths" (that her father Johnny Depp himself was promoting anyway). Her fathers comments about this: "My daughter was extremely distressed by used this way and so was I. I felt like it was a huge betrayal of trust to go behind by back and then to publish extremely personal and false information about my 16 year-old-daughters sexuality. I had been so generous to IO and really sought to help him and in return he caused a very significant amount of distress to my daughter." ..
This junkie loser didn't stop with messing with Depp's daughter. Depp had let him stay rent free in one of his apartments and he went on to thank him by colluding with Amber Heard and other members of her little junkie coven to fabricate a trail of domestic violence, including calling the LAPD, in order to incriminate Depp and help Amber in her bid to extort money out of him in a divorce settlement.
The lot of them should be in jail.
"Hi I'm iO Tillett Wright and I am a transgender man. My pronouns are LI/AR. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk."
I spit raspberry iced tea all over my iPad after reading this. Thank you and dammit.
Haha brilliant 🤣
😂
Justice for Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp deserves the truth to come out. He’s a human being, too. Johnny Depp should not be abused anymore.
Youre the last person to lecture us about anything but conspiracy to weaponize a victim’s abuse against the victim him/herself 😂😂
Truth, she's not even sure when asked about what she do for a living in the Johnny Depp's defamation case against Amber Heard
*Proud to be the 100th person to give this Comment a "Thumbs Up", after watching The Depp V Lying TURD Show!" - DISCUSTING!* 💩 She's on the TURD Team!!!!
A parasite. Why did you benefit from free rent & holidays from a man you claim was abusive. Makes no sense.
Never heard about him before the trial. After watching just bit of this video it all makes sense now.
I'm not part of the LBGTQ but I think this is one of the best talks ever. I also think the same view is valid for everything and everyone and I truly hope that we will not need labels one day. Have a great life everybody!
No it isnt
It's a nice talk, but from a person who is an abuser of women, it means nothing.
"She's shot 2,000 people who consider themselves somewhere on the LBGTQ spectrum"
Kind of becomes a different sentence out of context 😂
😂😂😂😂
I happened to stumble upon a video of hers in which she talked about her childhood a little bit and how she identified herself. She also talked about Self Evident Truths a little bit and I just thought it was very interesting. But now that I have seen this talk I am so intrigued by her. I love the way she views gender and sexual identity and I love her ideas.
+Molly Gunn The interview by Stylelikeu? I saw it as well and was caught off guard by how thick her Brooklyn accent was compared to here. She really toned it down for this TedTalk! lol
+Melanie B. stylelikeu was in 2015.
+Astrid Gerrits I came from StylelikeU too. lol I fell in love with her!
Oh dear🤪
That person firstly identifies as a liar.
Her parents are amazing, I will be like this for my kids.
+Gemischildstar! Perfect parenting in regards to everything in life; how freeing.
Gemischildstar! Read her book. Gender wise they were great. Not the best in other wise.
Gemischildstar! Uhm, you should REALLY read her book they arent always that great...
His parents brought up a mooch, of the worst kind. No problem lying, not even to the police.
OOOH YES, WHAT AN AMAZINGLY GREAT JOB :D
To bad Amber is going to drive IO's career into the ground when both of there lies come out in court that have already been exposed for years now
In another io said boys wouldnt let her play football / soccer but here its basketball
She was a child actor
LMAO
@Dominique Z I can see through her BS. Gerder is just a new path to gain attention, validation & clout among the brain dead millenials
@@dcodework2421 Couldn’t it be soccer and basketball?
@@Lilyanna298 I highly doubt that
moreover how can ppl around her not know the difference between girl and a guy?
I still cant believe it and makes me question whether if it was ever real?
I think he’s just in love with Amber and will die on the sword for her.
Yay! my picture is in here!!! :D
Lill farley which one? c:
So found this and listened. Then found another one that came out two years later. The story of her becoming a boy changed. Might be minute details but it still changed. I mean it's their story and it changed. So makes me wonder if their testimony can be trusted for Amber Heard.
This talk is one of the most fantastic speech ever. It is very intelligent, very clever and opens up a bunch of new perspectives for everyone. Shows strange and interesting facts from a point of view, people never even looked at before from a direction like this. Every thought she says is in my head all the time. When you just do not fit in any fucking boxes, or under any lines, descriptions or definitions. When you unable to define yourself because you are none of those definitions but you're all of them in the same time within one body and one mind. In a way you feel gender-free as an identity or being but your manliness and womanliness is already mixed up and causing so much confusion. Your mind is male and a female in the same time, just like the way of your thinking or your body-awareness. Sometimes you cannot even decide who you are attracted to or why you like certain type of people and why your attraction is swinging to so many directions?
yes
She lied about Johnny Depp
Watching your TED talk before work today, helped my work day go more gracefully.
Very moving...
Even after transitioning The truth must be told I question I O TILLET AUTHENTICITY!!
What I love about this talk is that you can pick out the 'anti' people from the crowd like turds in a punchbowl.
That woman on the right at 14:48 had me cackling like a hyena
+Maddy Macquine-Abbott let her disagree. what right do you have to call her out an embarrass her publicly, just because of the look on her face? you don't know what she was thinking. so instead you posted your comment with no knowledge of her. it's prejudice.
The only turd here is the one running his mouth on the stage here
Or like Turd's on Depp's bed?
You mean Amber Turd in a punch-fist fight with Johnny Depp?
This was SO good! All my life, I've been asked to define myself as gay or straight, and the truth is I can't answer that question as a one or the other answer. Thank you for getting rid of the boxes, and opening the world to being human, where boxes just don't fit.
She makes amazing points and I adore her, and when I look at her pictures im in awe. But I also realized that out of all the pictures there is noone like me. She did great choosing equal amount of white people and POC, of men and women, old and young etc. But I'm a girl, and the girls I saw where so.... short hair, tattoo's, edgy etc. None that was just... plain. None that was just average. None who just melts into the crowd with their average lenght of hair and average clothing.
I realize that not many average lesbians/bisexuals/any sort of no straight sexuality might ahve shown up to the photo-shoots, but the portrayal here of not straight women is part of the stereotype that they ahve to look a certain way. The amount of times I've doubted my sexuality just because I "don't look gay". And just let me tell you, that feeling that you're not even good enough for your sexuality because you don't look a certain way, it's really fucking useless
"plain"
you dont need to "fit" with the stereotypes. just be yourself. :)
The_Melon find the website. just google self evident truths project and you will find it. there are plenty of women who "don't look gay", as you put it, on there.
The_Melon I am straight, I only say this so you know what perspective I am speaking from. I very much dislike when people label and stereotype others to that extent, you are who you are, and the way you look only matters insofar as the way you want to look. Just be who you are, the people who care about you are all that should matter and if they belittle you because you don't look a certain way then they are shallow and unworthy of your attention. As Tillett said in the video the boxes and labels created only help people understand each other so far and you should not be restricted to them by any means. There is plenty of hate and ignorance in this world, when you are being yourself or when you are loving another person nobody has the right to question that choice it is yours and yours alone. People are much more complex than these labels and stereotypes, and a person is much more than the image people have of them.
The problem is of the society you can wear boy clothes and play boy games and still be a girl. Is a pitty we have to be a model of "perfect" boy of girl to be in the box.
....She is attractive.
Squeakers mobella he*
Giggles in gay
Siiiiii
yeah...she identifies as a “he” now ☺️. damn this was a great Ted Talk!! he’s fantastic. absolutely brilliant.
God bless!
@@_birdie yea he's so damn handsome 🥰🥰
Almost cried. I personally don't understand how one could dislike so much understanding and nobility in this speech and these pictures
I'm doing a segment of this in forensics (public speech and debate) in front of judges. Love this!!
9:39 Is that Tegan/Sara? WOOT!
So I wasn't the only one who thought that! XD
CodeCosmo its tegan look at the *ptosis* ;)
That's totally Teagan, isn't it!
Tegan !! I don't doubt of it !
This is pretty much the whole point I've been trying to make to people: we're all human beings at the core, and we should be treating each other like it.
Yet the person giving the talk lives their life doing the exact opposite.
SO like Amber Turd treated Johnny Depp, for instance??? Is that a good example? Don't forget this Oi, Toilette character is her best pal!!!
Why is there an adams apple on the stage?
hats off to a great project! Just finding you now, which is the perfect time. I will share the project with my audience and if you are in Houston, would love to be a face for us! thanks for your work!!
She raises very important subject matters in her speech. I really appreciate the way she went about demonstrating her argument. We as human beings tend to put labels and 'categorize' ourselves and others based on our sexual tendencies. I think that the personal identity struggle that we go through is not only a 'personal' struggle, but also created by the environment/the culture that we grew up in. Love your speech, and thank you for what you doing. Very well done :)
This has inspired me so much as i am trying to find were I belong. Now see that I don't have to be just one thing. The world could be such a beautiful place if we all just stop trying to fit into the boxes that have been designed for us. We need to tear the boxes and just be.
ITS TOO. MUCH. ATTRACTIVE. PEOPLE. MY POOR OVER-ROMANTICIZING HEART. CANT. TAKE. THIS.
I was taking screenshots for a Facebook post
What an excellent talk. I really like how she took us on her personal journey with her!
This is such a wonderful video!
I have had many issues regarding my sexuality due to the boxes and the labels.
I first came out as bi (after much struggle) only to later realise I was a lesbian.
All these boxes and these fixed roles attributed to multi-faceted, people on different parts of a scale baffles me.
She speaks so well and with such authenticity
Right.... Is hard to believe she is actually a liar helping Amber Heard defaming John Deep
Oof this comment didn’t age well
In another video on youtube where she lectures abt gender she tells that other kids did not let her play football so she became a boy but here the same story is told with basketball.
I guess she wanted to play all the sports :)
@@dcodework2421 ever since she helped Amber heard to make the public think he was a wife beater. I'll never believe her bs again. Come to find Amber was the abuser.
@@ahkeke2359 not one bit lol
some of the people in the crowd look uncomfortable. But hopefully their eyes were open at least a little bit.
let them have their beliefs. if everyone needs equal rights, everyone can believe what they want to believe. if the LGBT community doesn't want people to change it, don't try to change other people.
@@marz3079 that's fair! I completely see where you're coming from. I also see where the original person is coming from. You dont have to be comfortable with them but you will have to accept them eventually as that is today's time. I'm sorry if I offended either of you. Have a good day.
@@kodywise8152 woah.. it's been three years.. so much has happened
@@marz3079 do I wanna know what's happened?
They never been to NYC lol
loved it! THANK YOU IO! greetings from Costa Rica, will make sure to spread it!
Wonderful and touching talk, bravo! Didn't really expect it in this category, damn this separation.
Tegan Quin at 9:39
IN LOVE!!!! Over simplified boxes ain't describing me!!!
absolutely marvelous talk. Not only what she did but how she presented were great and her message is very important
Astounding and inspiring! Thank you:)
totally liked the video before watching..... only because of complete confidence in iO
Great inspiring video!
amazing :) thank you this is so beautiful and glad i found this video!!
Thank you for such a nice talk. :)
Hold on- within one minute (I skip intros) the narrative was: I was shielded from bigotry and all other things outside--- to then say- as a kid on the streets of New York and reference being a six yr old girl being told she can't play in a park (to which she became a skinhead boy after) WTF??? It's no coincidence "TAXI" is the same word globally 🤣🔥
this is such a good ted talk
That was mind blowing. What an amazing speaker, speech, everything. Good luck on your future travels. And. Thank you
What a fantastic insightful talk. You inspire me, iO Tillett Wright
9:39 tegan?? yaas
+Sarah Doucette I was literally going to comment the same thing.
+Sarah Doucette who's that
+HeyyyCarriAnn12 As was I. Then I was even more pleased by your username (referencing The Hollies song of course) and now I'm altogether distracted.
Yeah I was named after that song. I'm surprised someone else on the Earth knows it. That definitely wasn't their biggest hit. lol I have uke covers on my channel if you wanna check them out. :D
This was posted on my 12th birthday. I just came out as bisexual yesterday. I realized my sexuality at 12. Coincidence? I think not!
ME TOO!!! I'm a bisexual dude!!! It's so cool to find someone just like me!!!!
Nah I'm kidding, but you are very pretty, how's about you give me them digits girl and when you're with me you'll never think about chicks again. #FOREVERMYLADY
+I'mNotCharlesBarkley SoDon'tBanMe OK. that was smooth bro. just don't offend anyone. I hope nobody was offended.
@@thedangerwich5476 you are gross. Talk about entitlement and tone deafness.
@@ultravioletpisces3666 hes kidding😂🤣
RIGHT ON! I hope this or something like it gets aired on the PBS ch's!
PHENOMENAL!!!!! This is the best TED Talk I have seen yet. I want in on this project!!!! How can we help and grow this project here in Hawaii??!!
OH. MY. GOSH! words cannot even describe how much I enjoyed this! It was a beautiful, different way of looking at things!
Man, those photographs are beautiful.
I first discovered Io Tillett wright and then found this video and I'm so glad. I'm honestly shocked that I found people that feel the same way I do. This is amazing
I saw this on Spotify AND I LOVE THIS GIRL
Sarah Darkhand nice profile pic ;)
This was the best Ted Talk I've seen. so inspirational. if only all parents and people were as open minded as hers, we'd have so much more creative, intelligent, successful and happy ppl in this world.
are you saying those who disagree with her are less intelligent? religious beliefs do not determine the fundamentals of our brains. there is diversity in every community. religious or not
+Fred Johnson Religious beliefs were never mentioned by them at all. Many, many Christians are supportive of the LGBT community, along with those of other religions. Not to mention many LGBT people are religious themselves. They were not insinuating anything bad about religious people. However it is rather unintelligent to wish your fellow human to have few rights than you for something such as loving another consenting adult. That is the only point they were making. If they meant religious people they would have stated so.
+LeJacqline I got worked up. my bad. but if you read some of my other comments, you will know that I never mean to take anyone's rights away. if I could vote, I would neither vote for, or against it.
I have read your other comments, however I disagree that you do not wish to take anyone's rights away. By choosing to do nothing you are showing that you view LGBT people as lesser, less deserving. I see no other reason to not vote for LGBT rights, and no Christianity does not go against homosexuality so you cannot use that as a reason. You are just not an extremist or as vocal about it.
+LeJacqline uh, what? seriously? are you kidding me? really? I respectfully disagree with them. yet it appears you have no respect for mine. how rude of you to say that I think they deserve less. according to your logic, by not voting, I'm also saying that extremists don't deserve my vote. And they don't. respect dude. :P
Justice for Johnny
This was an amazing video. I have a lot of friends who fall into the grey and will share this with them.
Amazing video!!! Great job!!!
Wow, this is such an amazing talk. I love how eloquently she spoke to the crowd.
I really love this TED Talk, especially with the information from his biography
Her
This gives me hope. Thank you for such a wonderful talk, I really needed to hear this!
Amazing! She even got to photograph Tegan and Sara ! Amazing work btw! Thanks !
I don't care who will hate me for this, even if you are "different" you are equal. Labels don't say anything except that you are different and that is why I hate them so much!
an awesome project iO ...a truly valuable contribution
wow, bravo 👏🏻. this was absolutely brilliant. thank you, io!!
God bless ☺️
Great talk!
iO makes me so happy.
perfectly spoken - wow
Another great talk!
IO told it wrong! Can't trust this little cry baby, she's a a real drag. Amber will turn on her too
I love stories like this. They make you think and show you just how complex the human nature is and that we shouldn't label anyone. We are all more than just one thing.
Label Io as a liar.
@@ElanaVital83 please can you acknowledge when someone is right. The original commenter said "we are all more than just one thing." And that statement is absolutely correct.
I O Tillet Wright is a liar
I O Tillet Wright is a moocher
I O Tillet Wright is a person that will happily destroy a person if it is in her/his own self interest.
I O Tillet Wright is a woman with absolutely no integrity.
I O Tillet Wright is a man with absolutely no integrity.
I O Tillet Wright is absolutely disgusting.
I O Tillet Wright is the worst.
A terrific presentation accompanied by fabulous photographs. I hope that more people will have their eyes opened by seeing these wonderful portraits. Perhaps they will realize that they already know and like people who are 'grey' gay or other...
i love what you said its very intelligent and the way you portray your feelings i love it
Eight years! I call that an accomplishment!!!
Only if it's behind bars
I'm so happy to see this video because I never tried to classify myself into "liking something" I have always been free and it has been a constant exploration in myself to see that I am really a fifty shades of gay n.n
Sexual investigation has showned that people has different grades of heterosexuality and homosexuality
This is awesome! I could listen to her speak all day :)
iO Tillett Wright, not only was this a very well reasoned argument, and a great story, but it's told with such passion and creativity that isn't captivating. A great project that I hope has the effect that you want it to.
"If any of you happen to be of the belief that sexual orientation is a choice, I invite you to go out and try and try to be grey. I'll take your picture just for trying"
@RUclips Viewer I didn´t mean grey (which is not a skin color anyway) but gay, sorry. I was just quoting her
@@juanpefernandez Meanwhile Io tried to force Lily Rose out of the closet for publicity
I'm in love with IO ❤️ I have never felt like I fit into a box, I'm a girl but feel a boy. Yet I don't have dysphoria by definition, I wear "boy clothes" and do "boy activities". I feel closer to knowing myself from watching this video☺️
oh thats...how does it feel like?
You don't need dysphoria to be a boy. Live how you want to live!
The advice is the same for everyone. Worry about what you want to do first and what that makes you as your absolute last priority. Because in the end, it's about what makes you happy, not which box you fit best in.
Dude labels are stupid. You do you
Great project! And so true..
This video is so brilliant!
Inspirational. Powerful. Truth.
From a liar
A very well deserved standing ovation!
From the future... umm about that!
LoL 🤡🤡🤡 ovation for a clown

🤪
very thoughtful :) love it
Love your videos
This was life changing.
powerful
Great talk, so true.
what a beautiful way with words. Lovely little feel good moment everyone should share :)
IO told a totally different story about “playing basketball” with the boys on a gender equality podcast.
She also said she loves her body as a woman and stripped down to her bra and boxers and talked about “waxing her bush”.
IO testified in JD’s trial yesterday. She was referred to as Mr Tillet Wright.
IO has a deep voice and was wearing a man’s suit.
“Born and raised in NYC”???
Really IO?
In the podcast you said you were a “feral child” that lived in Germany, Belgium and England.
I don’t care about IO’s sexuality/gender.
I DO care that he’s a liar and “advocate” for the GLBTQ community.
of course
There is something more that might involve her/him/their:
His/her/their appearance during testimony in the 2022 Virginia trial differs markedly to this 2013 clip in terms of them now appearing a masculine, down-to-earth, sober, mainstream suit-wearing man, that a jury might relate to. Evidence has emerged, after analysis of his/her/their Instagram posts and employment travel history that they were in fact located in LA when some maladjusted individual deposited and concealed well-formed, healthy human faeces within AH and JD's bed linen (on JD's side of the bed).
AH described this inappropriate behavior as a "practical joke gone wrong", on other occasions she swore the substantial output was produced by her tiny, teacup sized Yorkshire Terrier.
Given that most healthy people are disinclined to defaecate in their own bed, I believe that AH is unlikely to have been responsible for this insult to JD. However, this individual, a staunch friend of AH's who testified as a 'non-friend' of JD, can be shown to have edited his Instagram locations to conceal he/her/their location in LA on the date of this act. Looking at this persona, who probes artistic and societal boundaries, many believe him to be responsible.
I adore this so much. So glad to see iO up and about, changing the world. ❤️ thank you
LOVE THIS. Just throwing this out there.
Love her quote, "Sparking empathy had become the backbone of self-evident truth... ...Self-evident truth doesn't erase the differences between us. In fact on the contrary it highlights them. It presents not just the complexities found in a perception of different human beings, but the complexities found within each individual person. It wasn't that we had to many boxes, it was that we had too few."
Going for the grey is a huge key to unlocking our own happiness. Letting go of our default stories that rely on polarization will free us from our own torment!
