Popular pop singer Kelsie Kimberlin today released an official music video for her song “Twinkle” celebrating the gift of transgender youth

Popular pop singer Kelsie Kimberlin today released an official music video for her song “Twinkle” celebrating the gift of transgender youth at a time in our history where some factions of society want to vilify and erase them. “Twinkle” is about how awesome transgender kids are and how fortunate society is that they are part of the human fabric.

The video represents Kelsie’s directing debut in which she flew to Orlando, Florida and spent time with an amazing 12-year old transgender girl named Dempsey as they had fun visiting the Gaylord Ice Sculptures and Disney World. In the video, they dance, sing, and laugh about the joys of life. Dempsey’s infectious energy will bring smiles to everyone as she shows that she is just like any other child her age in terms of what she needs to thrive and succeed — love, acceptance, and a nurturing family. “Together, we can break down the walls of ignorance, fear and prejudice so every human can live to their full potential with dignity and respect,” said Kelsie. “I want everyone to watch, like, and share this video so people can experience Dempsey’s love of life and pride for who she is.”

Kelsie chose to intersperse her experiences with Dempsey with archival footage of Dempsey growing up in a supportive and nurturing family environment where she is totally loved and accepted. This juxtaposition makes for a stunning and joyful video.

Today, across the nation, some cruel politicians, religious leaders, and groups are calling for bans on all books and media that mention transgender or gay people. This has led to bullying, discrimination, and even physical violence against transgender people. Several well-known politicians are campaigning on a platform of erasing transgender citizens from society as a whole, and even denying them medical care and jobs in the public sector. Even drag shows are being outlawed. Kelsie’s video is meant to counter these grotesque forms of bigotry and intolerance in the hope that society will reflect and embrace all of its diversity with equality and love.

“Twinkle” is available on all global music platforms and the video is on YouTube.
