1. This gives me hope for a good America.

[DBoon]

2. I hate the word "disrespected"

"Insulted" should be used instead.

8. Exactly. The whole 'disrespected' thing just doesn't cut it.

My feeling is that 'You insulted me' has much more weight.

I don't want 'respect', I want to be treated kindly.

3. This made me cry.

[Leith]

12. Me, Too

For 2 reasons. First because it would be entirely plausible that someone would treat a transvestite (or any "non-traditional" person) so badly. Second because the people who stood up for Jen did such a good thing.

4. Media well done. Thanks!

5. Just watching the first woman's reaction, and you know what

Men best be on notice, women aint taking their shit no more.

And no it isnt the actor playing the clerk being a woman has anything to do with it, MEN, create our standards and many people follow it out of stupidity.


NOw i have watched all the women, and men and bigoted men WATCH THE FUCK out

6. I think the show is making an impact. Most of the people had seen the show.

It might be a coincidence. But, it might be that watching these interactions on tv has made people think about acting different in their lives. Or it could be that this is what they all would have done. Hard to say.

7. Loved this, but...

Absolutely loved this but we have to remember this was New Jersey. Would love it if this had been filmed in the south and we got those same reactions...then I'd have a lot more confidence in our country!

[Madam Mossfern]

9. Yay New Jersey!

[Duppers]

10. Exactly! +1000

Different story.

11. "you're in a generation that you should know never speak like that to anybody."

"What's wrong with you."

To me that line said a LOT. Could do an entire paper on just that line.
