Gillette just released a groundbreaking ad of a trans man's first shave
https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2019/05/gillette-just-released-groundbreaking-ad-trans-mans-first-shave/The ad features Samson Bonkeabantu Brown, a young Canadian trans man who says, “Growing up I was always trying to figure out what kind of man I want to become and I’m still trying to figure out what kind that I want to become.”
His father watches as he shaves for the first time, saying, “Now don’t be scared. Shaving is about being confident. You are doing fine.”
At the end of the ad, Brown says, “It’s not just myself transitioning. It’s everyone around me transitioning.”
The ad’s tagline, released as part of its just unveiled #MyBestSelf campaign, says, “Whenever, wherever, however it happens – your first shave is special.”
