Presenter
Jessica Lynn, President of Your True Gender Professional speaker and outspoken advocate Jessica Lynn is renowned across the country for her dynamic, refreshingly honest speaking style and ongoing tour series. Lynn is consistently in demand at many of the nation’s biggest universities, zigzagging the nation 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 president of Your True Gender, a non-profit 501 (C) (3), Lynn also coordinates workshops and an annual conference each year. Her position in life has left her uniquely qualified to testify to the hardships as well as the ultimate fulfillment of gender transition, in legal standing and in her personal life.

Lynn is a loving parent, fiercely dedicated to her children and family. Her mission in educating students on her story is to reunite with her youngest son, who after a botched Texas court ruling, was separated 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.
