Gillette's Trans teen's first shave ad- Cue the faux outrage

Gillette Ad Features Black Trans Teen Shaving for the First Time


With Pride season soon upon us, we’ll soon be inundated with rainbow apparel and items from brands falling over themselves to remind us all how inclusive and woke they all are.

Take a look at the ad—and the joy on Brown’s face—and try to keep it together.
