The woman in the bathroom is trans and is scared that if she comes out of the stall the women that walked in will insult or harass her. but when she comes out they compliment her on her dress instead. The add ends with saying “stress tested for women.” It means Secret is including trans women in their definition of women.
I have reblogged this three times now, each one mentioning the fact that Secret not only included a trans woman, but that they /had the other women compliment her dress and treat her with respect/. I will reblog this every time I see it because it’s so important. More companies should involve trans people in their marketing - we do exist. Props to Secret for getting in on this movement. It makes me really happy to see more of the trans community represented in daily television.
“I think when you begin to think of yourself as having achieved something, then there’s nothing left for you to work towards. I want to believe that there is a mountain so high that I will spend my entire life striving to reach the top of it.”
This Saturday, Cicely Tyson, one of the greatest actors to ever grace the silver screen, will receive a long overdue Honorary Academy Award for a lifetime of masterful performances that have expanded the emotional possibilities of cinema. Of her essential, Oscar-nominated performance in 1972’s Sounder, we wrote as part of our 2018 Black Actress Canon, “Tyson, rooted in earth yet reaching a heavenly plane of catharsis, can close her hands around any emotion, embody it, and make us feel its full power. Sometimes all you need is a camera and a once-in-a-lifetime actress to create transcendent cinema.” Tyson turns 94 next month and shows no signs of slowing down. A tenacious trailblazer, she paved the way for luminaries (and eventual costars) like Angela Bassett and Viola Davis, among countless other contemporary black actors, who are able to shine in a spotlight that would likely not exist without Tyson’s hard work and humanizing artistry. Long live this remarkable and resilient goddess, whose creativity makes every single one of her characters matter. In Tyson’s hands, each new role is a new opportunity for limitless invention, another occasion to turn words on a page into a living, breathing, fully-dimensional being, the sublimest of gifts that any actor can give. Which is as it should be. For Cicely Tyson is, herself, the sublimest of gifts.
