“She”

Acceptance

Not easy

Understanding

More Complicated

Transgender

Very Confusing

Love

So Powerful

Kindness

A Human Duty


It’s a powerful commercial. Very thought-provoking. Touching a subject so many know nothing about, often because we choose so.

I had two encounters with transgender people in my life and I failed them both. First I wasn’t ready, or perhaps not old enough. Then when older, I wasn’t prepared.

I hope I am ready now, but can’t be sure. I have mixed emotions, something I should perhaps not confess so openly.

Now older I know what I would like to stand for, so it’s up to me to change and make it happen. For me! For others! To take a stand!

A grandfather is learning how to use makeup to help his transgender grandchild.

The message of the commercial is simple. Love conquers all.

    We need more companies making commercials like this… an all inclusive world would be so nice.

    Caused me some confusion and then a tiny bit of discomfort. But beautiful things sometimes come with confusion and discomfort

    • Change comes with discomfort, so it’s a good thing.

    • Yes, I agree. I am very impressed with the company who made the commercial. I am not a drinker, but if I would, I probably would buy a botte J & B now. 🙂

  6. How absolutely beautiful and heartwarming this is Bridget. It made me cry, and I am not ashamed of that! I am, however, ashamed of myself, and so many others, for lack of acceptance of diversity of all kinds. Thank you.

    • Yes, it is very heartwarming. It made me ashamed of myself as well. My past actions and some of the thoughts I have (still have) need a lot of work.
