Hi, I'm Michael Alroy. Speaker and trans activist.

About the talk:

I share my personal journey of growing up in a religious family, moving to Israel, and navigating life as a trans man in Israeli society. From an all-girls school to the army to coming out in college and at work, I talk about the uncertainty, the inner struggles, and what it took to face fear and stay true to who I am.

With openness, empathy, and a bit of humor, I offer insights on identity and resilience, challenge common misconceptions, and invite a more honest, human conversation.
