TgR Wall Forums Media-Watch Transgender Media Acceptance – Heineken Advt

  • Acceptance – Heineken Advt

    Posted by Deleted User on 12/07/2019 at 4:56 am

    Saw this advt and noticed Ayla Holdom a well known UK Transgender woman (ex military) was in the advertisement winning over someone who was somewhat transphobic initially

    She still works in helicopter rescue following her departure from the RAF and a great Ambassador for Transgender people around the world

    A great advt for inclusion and acceptance along many fronts not just for Trangender people

    How about Ambassador? Why assign a gender to a role that is gender neutral?

    A great experiment though. It shows what can happen if people are unaware that another person is a focus of their prejudices, and just treat that other person as an equal.

    And I wonder if Meghan and Kate would welcome the title Prince instead of Princess.

    My goodness. I’m very cynical about advertising but this was extraordinary. Thanks for posting.

    I’ve been saying that for years, sit down, engage and you’d solve or help sort out a lot of differences. We are all more alike than different.
