Dearest Adriene you have followed your heart and soul, choosing to do what you feel you must. Good for you and for those who now feel more included by you. I am not one of them. Choosing for myself to no longer be silenced through intimidation of being called a bigot, I'll say my piece. I do not begrudge or find offense with anyone who chooses to change their gender, live an alternate lifestyle, marry whomever they choose, etc. But in life, every human has been offended and/or diminished in some way. For instance, my inability to conceive a child has ostracized and diminished me in the child/family-centric world we live in. But I am concerned and disagree with the ever louder drumbeat to change and monitor (even mandate) our words, our individual beliefs and our very society in order for various groups to be less offended and feel more included. It seems likely that future generations will do things quite differently but recreating history, even by altering a yoga video, in the interest of making people feel better does not make for a better future, in my opinion. I wish you happiness and have enjoyed your videos.

In reply to Rebecca. Anti-woman? How in the heck is it anti-woman to be inclusive of others who identify different than you do?

In reply to AJ. To AJ : you are so wonderful !! I just spent way too much time scanning through this thread, and your patience and unflappable attitude in explaining things for others who simply did not know what the big deal is, was truly inspiring to me ... you're a treasure, especially nowadays when people are so quick to see through a lens of negativity without opening themselves up to learning about their fellow humans. Equality and decency for all, once we learn, and learn .... Namaste

Thanks for making me cry this morning 🙂 As the mom of someone transgender, kindnesses like this one here, bolster my faith in humanity (especially in the face of growing polarity and fears). While I am writing, thank you, too, for being one of the two major forces in helping me become "woke" over the last year or so (you, and my beloved). Namaste Dear-heart

In reply to Rebecca. Biology says that gender is not a binary, and that gender and sex are not the same thing, and not always aligned, so really Adriene is doing exactly what fits with biology. Biology is not bigotry, but trying to use biology (falsely) as anti-trans rhetoric is.

I love that you redid this video to make it inclusive 🙂 thank you. Like others have said, this was the first video of yours that I ever did, and that got me hooked.

As the mother of a transgender young adult son, who still has the parts he was born with, thank you for this. It means so much in a world that doesn't seem to understand these types of complications.
