I'm trans and I didn't find this degrading. There aren't many trans person who didn't feel like their trans identity was a dark secret at some point. This commercial shows a trans person talking openly and easily about something that many people consider taboo. The trans person's openness is meant to be inspiring to the person who feels ashamed of their own issue.
@Imbiyourside You're right. I always forget about the T. While it's nice to see some diversity in advertising, I wish so much of it wasn't just for amusement or shock value. The Levi's LGBT ad is a good example of how it can be done right.
If the guy has trouble with reading/writing, how is he going to find the word "learn" in the yellow pages?
