> It's just about a trans person saying "it's ok to be me" (irritating shit and no-one cares, good luck to her, but that's all it is).

What is irritating about it? There's clearly a large problem with abuse of trans people, a serious issue of physical, social, and career safety. Why shouldn't someone address that issue? Why the F should that irritate you?



There is a problem with {trans, homo, etc}-phobia. But this made a point of this person being trans for some cheesy inclusivity. None of the trans people I know talk about being trans, or wish to talk about it. No-one I've ever worked for would judge against someone for being trans.

In a sense, it's a solved problem - once crappy publicity videos like this can be produced, the battle has largely already been won, or the video would never have been produced.

I suppose the over-produced slickness of this, with it's almost zero contenet annoys me.
