Every now and then you get to see a video that tugs on your heart and reminds you what you are fighting for.
I constantly say in any interview I do that the trans rights work I'm getting recognized for is about the kids behind me and leaving a better world for them.
This video short illustrates that better world I and other trans advocates are working to make a reality. This video is about a teen trans girl who has a father in the military and transitions while he is deployed.
You'll have to watch it and see what happens when he finds out his child has transitioned while he's away.

Jessica Zyrie Featured In The 'Absolut Acceptance' Ad
Y'all know how much I love my sis Jessica Zyrie. In addition to her ripping Fashion Week runways, we are fortunate to have her here in the Houston area doing her thing to advocate for our community.
Jessica recently shot a commercial for Absolut Vodka released just in time for Pride Month and Father's Day. The commercial also featured her amazing dad who I got to meet on my birthday trip last month.
I'm going to need to hit Wayne's Wings again the next time I find myself in the Alamo City.
Anyway, here's the commercial, entitled Absolut Acceptance

Scandinavian Electronics Store's Trans Themed Holiday Commercial
While this holiday season has been a roller coaster of emotions for the trans community, had to drop some news about this heartwarming trans themed commercial that comes from Denmark and the Scandinavian electronics store Elgiganten.
Elgiganten was founded in Sweden in 1994, and has stores in Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland.
This heartwarming trans themed commercial is entitled 'Let The Gifts Talk' , and features an early transitioning trans teen in the midst of the family holiday celebration clearly struggling to fit in.
Dad walks over to give her a holiday gift, and after she opens it you could see the joy light up on her face after opening the gift that spoke volumes, even though not one word is said during this entire ad.
Here's the commercial fo you to peruse.

WWYD? Trans Diner Employee Episode
Finally found the YouTube video of the episode of ABC's What Would You Do? that Carmen Carrera appeared in as a trans waitress being verbally abused by a transphobic longtime customer in a New Jersey diner.
The WWYD hidden cameras are in the house to record the reactions (or lack thereof) of the patros in the diner.

Dear Haters II
Dear Haters,If you were expecting your transphobic laced commentary on the Pink Sheep Of The Family post to be approved, you are part of the moronic sheeple who watch too much Fox News and are divorced from reality.
This is my cyberhome, and only rational commentary gets posted on the blog. The best part about it is I get to define rational.
Obviously you have personal insecurity and self-esteem issues about your gender identity on a deep level. Cisgender people who are secure in their gender identity and sexual orientation aren't bothered by the presence of transpeople on this planet. If you pick up a science magazine every now and then, you'll soon discover that gender in the animal kingdom isn't as immutable as you haters think it is.
The only people who would actually sit down at their computer and leave a despicable comment like you did are people whose comfort in their personal sense of manhood or womanhood is shaky at best.
Maybe you didn't read the post, so I'll skip to the heart of it since you and your ilk seem to have the brain and penis size of an atom.The bottom line is that transpeople exist. The moral arc of history in terms of transpeople gaining first class citizenship in our various countries is inexorably on our side. You and your ilk are on the same side of the legions of groups like the Ku Klux Klan and other proud conservatives throughout world history who opposed the march of humanity, social and societal progress, and common sense.
I suggest you peeps get some therapy to deal with those lingering self esteem issues that are keeping you from having regular dates and intimacy with anyone other than plastic dolls.And as for your ludicrous assertion that no one will ever accept us as the women and men transpeople were born to be but unfortunately were stuck in the wrong bodies, you are about as off base as Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the people you get your tired talking points from.
Maybe no one who's a white male conservative 'christian' will accept me and my trans brothers and sisters, but Real Christians, real people of other faiths and a vast majority of compassionate thinking people do.
My own story and the stories of countless others blow your diatribe to smithereens.
For every person who doesn't accept me, I have ten who do. I have the respect of my employers. I have sistahfriends and friends across the spectrum who see me as nothing but the tall proud sistah I am and was born to be.So get thee behind me cyber Satan. You've built a Berlin Wall around your heart and mind that renders you incapable of expressing compassion, love and human decency to another human being.
But just like the actual Berlin Wall fell, the one around your mind and heart will fall as well.
