Un gène en moins, un clitoris en plus | Valérie Trichet | TEDxNantes
Si vous n’avez pas de gène SRY, alors vous avez le même super organe qu’elle. Lui, c’est le
clitoris, organe hautement sensible et mystérieux. Elle, elle vous raconte des histoires de génétique
et d’embryologie qui conduisent au développement d’un clitoris ou d’un pénis. Elle enseigne
l’histologie qui sous le microscope révèle combien le clitoris compte une multitude de corpuscules de
Messner et de Pacini. Ces organisations de cellules nerveuses produisent un éclair sensitif, une
explosion de joie. C’est la puissance de la jouissance qui peut faire peur et conduire à la censure ou
l’excision. Elle trace les contours de cet organe sensible et érectile, un bijou d’humanité entre unité
et diversité du vivant.If you don't have the SRY gene, then you have the same super organ as her : the clitoris, a highly
sensitive and mysterious organ. She tells stories of genetics and embryology that lead to the
development of a penis or a clitoris. She teaches histology, which shows under a microscope how the
clitoris contains a multitude of Messner’s and Pacinian corpuscles. These nerve cell structures
produce a sensitive flash, an explosion of joy. It's the power of orgasm that can frighten and lead to
censorship or excision. She traces the contours of this sensitive and erectile organ, a jewel of
humanity between the unity and diversity of life. Valérie Trichet, professeure des universités à la faculté de médecine à Nantes (France).Valérie Trichet, professor at Nantes University (France).Crédit photo : Fotocall

- 7:29The small habit that transforms school safety | Beth Sanborn | TEDxCherryCreekHSWhen Beth Sanborn became a School Resource Officer, she thought her years of policing and protecting would speak for themselves. But on her first day in the high school hallway, two students holding Starbucks cups raised their hands and said, “Hands up, don’t shoot!”, a moment that shook her to her core. In that instant, Beth realized the badge on her chest didn’t automatically mean trust. It meant she had work to do. In this talk, Beth shares how one School Resource Officer’s interaction with two teenage girls transformed the way she approached policing in schools. Through storytelling and research-backed strategies, she reveals how small, intentional actions—like learning students’ names, engaging them in real conversations, and showing up as a human first—can dismantle barriers and build powerful, lasting relationships. Beth challenges educators, police, and anyone working with youth to rethink how they connect with students. Her call to action is simple yet profound: learn three students’ names tomorrow. Because when kids feel seen, heard, and valued, schools become safer, more connected communities. This is a talk about School Resource Officers build trust, show humanity, and how policing, done with passion, can change lives. Dr. Beth J. Sanborn, retired School Resource Officer & Juvenile Detective, is the Montgomery County (PA) School Safety Coordinator. She oversees 400+ schools, serves on PASRO’s board, teaches for NASRO, authors books on school safety, and speaks nationwide on youth trends.
