Thank you so much for this essay! Upon watching it, I was really uncomfortable with the fact that just wanting to exist, and bigotry, were being treated as two sides of the same coin. That they’re ‘just as bad as each other’ if the transwoman were to be seen as argumentative, or even just overly defensive? It’s tone policing, and silencing. Suggesting that feeling physically unsafe, and having your privilege disrupted, are the same thing.

Thank you so much for your further insights from your own experience of being a transwoman, and thank you so much for debunking any sense that the advert is “flawed but ultimately does good”.

I’ve come to your blog through this post, and I look forward to your posts in future!

I keep being told that calling out people who voted for Trump as wanting my and my friends/family’s demise is disrespectful. How about his campaign and homphobes/transphobes daily crap we have to deal with? I’m over trying to be respectful or “teach” these bigots. Time to move on. We’re going to live our lives and f*ck them.

Thanks for articulating my thoughts better than I ever could.

A point of view I wouldn’t have guessed from my cis biased mindset, so you have opened my mind just a little more. But I wasn’t with you in the last three paragraphs. I didn’t think the guy was a hero for not killing the trans woman. I thought the corporation was sucky for setting this up and the trans woman was a hero for her conduct on screen. I don’t mean to say you are wrong, I just want to offer the same as I got from your post, a different perspective.

Sorry if that’s a revelation for anyone.

Ah, so you agree that none of this actually matters unless it entices you to buy their beer.
