A heartwarming depiction of a father struggling to accept his transgender daughter’s transition can be found in the video.
By the end of the commercial, though, he shows that he accepts by placing an order for a drink using her new name.
Starbucks India posted the video along with the following caption on Twitter:
“Whether you go by Arpit or Arpita, your name is a reflection of who you really are. At Starbucks, we value authenticity above all else, so we celebrate and embrace your uniqueness. #It Begins With Your Name.
Your name defines who you are – whether it's Arpit or Arpita. At Starbucks, we love and accept you for who you are. Because being yourself means everything to us. #ItStartsWithYourName. 💚 pic.twitter.com/DKNGhKZ1Hg
