Man is asked if he knows that his girlfriend is transgender. His passionate answer goes viral.

Jade Mcfarlane and her boyfriend, Tyler, responded to a commenter over at tiktok who suggested Mcfarlene’s boyfriend would have left Jade if he knew she was trans.

Jade decided to post Tyler’s wonderful response to the transphobic comments.

Tyler says:

“First off, I want to say trans women are real women. They’re completely valid in their femininity. And the fact that people think that just because someone’s trans and I found out — or anyone found out that their significant other is trans — that [this] would take away or diminish the love they have for them, [it’s] completely disgusting to me.”
