    I’m looking at it right now and don’t understand what’s radical about it.

    This may seem very intimate if you’re an Anglo but in some cultures this is not more than shaking hands… The kiss on the cheek isn’t very radical, the fact that she’s is a transwoman in office in Brasil, is!

      It’s not “very intimate”, and the socially acceptable informal greeting doesn’t typically include prolonged closeness like shown here. ☝🏼 This is compassionate camaraderie.
