The Hershey Company draws praise, ire after featuring transgender woman in Women's History Month ad

An international ad campaign for Women's History Month by The Hershey Company is drawing ire from some and praise from others.

In an advertisement airing in Canada that announced limited-edition Hershey's SHE bars, Fae Johnstone, a transgender woman, was featured among the five spokeswomen in the #HERforSHE campaign.

Wow, Hersheys. This took some balls. 😂

Never buying Hersheys again. I'm standing up for MY rights too! The right to disagree!

I'll be looking for Jeremy's chocolate.

Yes, let’s celebrate a movement that is celebrating men being the best version of a woman and calling a woman “cis women and chest feeders”. How degrading. Hersheys can take that propaganda and keep it in Canada, thanks.

Hershey’s “recognizes the strength created by diversity, ” but neither they nor anyone who claims that “diversity is our strength” can provide a meaningful explanation as to how that’s so

Hershey's chocolate is bad for your health.😂

To quote the great sir Austin Powers "That's not a woman that's a man baby yeah"

LOL, they just said women are worthless. This is what they are saying. Every fight women had to do is now gone.

Ironic correlation between Hershey's Highway and Hershey's

Why in the last few years Companies have gone so Political..Are we now to vote for Corporation Ceos to run our Country.

You know there were four other cis women in the full ad campaign, right?


If you actually cared about women's rights, you would be watching their videos, instead of obsessing over the only trans one.

Transphobes are the real ones erasing women here by not allowing these cis women's voices to be heard as well!
