In a recent viral video, TikTok star Jayde McFarlane took a break from her typical lip sync performances and let her boyfriend do the talking.

And the monologue he delivered was glorious.

The video was apparently prompted by recent comments from TikTok trolls who suggested that McFarlane, who is trans, hadn't informed her boyfriend about that fact.

So McFarlane, from the intimacy of the couple's bedroom, filmed herself asking her boyfriend if he, in fact, knew she was trans.

In his response, her boyfriend didn't miss a beat:

"Yeah I know that you're a perfectly beautiful woman and you always have been."

McFarlane's boyfriend then wondered aloud.

"Is this one of those comments from TikTok again?"

When McFarlane confirmed, her boyfriend lifted himself up, looked square in the camera, and set the record straight.

"First off, I want to say that 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 that if I found out or if anyone found out that their significant other is trans, that would take away or diminish the love that they have for them is just completely disgusting to me..."
"...and the fact that people take out their own insecurities and things that they're worried about from their past and try to apply it to this situation is just disgusting.

He closed with a well-deserved gut punch.

"Just because you're unhappy in life, doesn't mean we need to be too."

And so many supportive comments.

His monologue joins a growing list of viral internet moments that have included men—from governors to fathers—defending the rights of trans people,

The fight for trans rights of course, continues, but such moments are undoubtedly encouraging.

Sometimes, in an effort to improve our lives in some capacity requires us to make a significant dent in our bank account.

Even though it might be yogurt for dinner for a few weeks after, we still feel good about our expensive purchases when we see the difference a high-powered washing machine makes, or feel the cool air from our upgraded air conditioner.

Man Goes Viral After 3D-Printing A 6-Pound Phone Case To Combat Screen Addiction

Many Millennials will remember back in the nineties as the last of the "latchkey kids" who were prominently babysat by their televisions, and the commercials that rolled out, made popular on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, promoting kids to go play outside instead of watching TV all day.

Now in 2025, videos on Instagram and TikTok encouraging people to "pause their scroll" and to "put down their phones" are becoming more common and popular, because people are realizing how detrimental our increasing screen time is to our emotional, physical, and psychological health.

Woman Sparks Heated Debate After Encouraging People To Smile At Walmart Greeters

There's an old saying that goes, "It costs nothing to be kind."

Smiling at a stranger, saying hi back to a young and socialable child, holding a door for someone, and maybe even exchanging a pleasantry or two at the checkout line costs nothing more than a few words passing our lips and showing a little kindness.
