And now for something hilarious (but serious)

Sarah Silverman is awesome and hilarious. This is sort of NSF a lot of workplaces.

ETA: Please read the comment below - this ad has been called out for being trans-phobic and not particularly enlightened. I think this falls into the category of "Liking Problematic Things" for me.

(Full disclosure: I'm a supporter of the National Women's Law Center and this is a fundraiser for NWLC. That doesn't make it less awesome.)

I fail to see why someone deciding they want to change their bodily appearance from "Set A" to "Set B" for reasons *other* than "I feel I was born into the wrong body" disparages folk in that latter set in any way whatsoever. That's just like folk who claim that those gay people getting married somehow cheapens hetero people getting married.

this is more like "watching straight people treat marriage with no respect (getting married for trivial reasons, getting divorced after 36 hours, etc.) and joke about it can be very painful to people who desperately want to marry their same-gender partner and can't". it trivializes a painful, difficult, impossible-to-acheive-for-many, traumatizing experience and uses it purely as the funny punchline for publicity-raising for another cause."

as i said below, "phobic" is a bad term since the root here isn't fear, but it seems to be accepted term of use for things-hurtful-to-trans-people-aimed-from-a-place-of-societal-advantage. "genderist" or "transist" might be more appropriate (parallel to racist, but specific to trans issues instead of women's issues) but i don't see that used anywhere.
