Keynote Speech

Keynote Q & A

Born into 1968 Singapore and a fundamentalist Christian family, Tien Neo Eamas was given the sex/gender marker female/girl. For decades in Singapore, then
in Canada, he internalized his experience of family violence, sexism, homophobia, racism, and trans- and gender-phobia. Eventually falling into a major depression, Tien thought suicide was the answer. It was not; the attempt failed. 
When Tien awoke the next day he took it as a sign, committed from then on to
transform his struggle into something else. The next several years of spiritual and personal development changed his view of life from someone oppressed to someone full of joy who loves life. This transformation gives Tien unique
insight and facility when teaching people how to tap into their own capacity for
freedom, choice and connectedness. Tien is the first Asian bi-gendered transman to transition publicl y during a time when LGBTQ awareness was rare (Vancouver, BC Canada 2002). An OG Asian Transman, with a commitment to enlightenment, Tien continues to evolve, disrupt and lead new conversations and practices that push the Gender frontier. Tien’s Transcending Gender curriculum includes Upgrade Your Gender IQ and Gender Conscious Parenting. He also teaches Race and Spiritualit y Programs, and Mindfulness Programs.
Tien is also a Goldsmith, artist, alchemist and a pole and drag artist. He is grateful to now reside in Vancouver BC, Canada, on the unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, & Tsleil-Waututh Peoples.
