Procter and Gamble Pride week Twitter take over

Just saw this on Twitter, the first LGBT rep they are bigging up is Mumsnet favourite Travis Alabanza. Travis and the TopShop changing rooms were responsible for my first stages of peaking.

Hi! 👋🏻 It’s @MrDuncanJames and I’m taking over @PGUK to share myLGBTQ+cultural shapers to watch out for. First on the list? @travisalabanza for their ability to speak out on issues that affect the community. Travis has helped shape & create a national voice! #WeSeeEqual t.co/hpwT38XJpc

Will be interesting to see which other cultural shapers they select. Good ratio in the comments so far.

I thought Duncan James's video was rather good - youth homelessness is a good cause.

Of course, if they're criticising P&G for getting in on the rainbow woke advertising points, then they've got a point.

Incidentally, I used to be blocked by mimmymum on twitter - and now I'm not. So that's weird.

This appeared on my FB. I wouldn’t say it’s going down well.

Not a lot of scope then for a meeting of minds between Mimmymum and MNetters. I had not realised the child was so young. And now, presumably, without an 'open future'.

I wonder where P&G stand....

HermioneWeasley · 26/06/2019 22:05

In 2014 they were firmly “oliver”, so before then, under 8.

Needmoresleep · 26/06/2019 21:59

13...and a mum who is so committed to trans ideology.

How old was he/she when it all started? Mimmymum seems to have been around for ages.

HermioneWeasley · 26/06/2019 21:54

“Mimmy” is around 13. I have no idea what testosterone does to a teenage girl’s body. I dread to think.

Travis can piss off.

Eaudear · 26/06/2019 20:59

It's kind of strange that Travis asked them to take it down, because they didn't want backlash today? Had Travis not been inforned they were going to feature in this?

Also Helen has asked Travis if she should delete her tweet (as it makes her look like a bit if a knob I guess) and Travis hasn't replied...

Needmoresleep · 26/06/2019 20:46

The bigger question is whether Mimmy hates Helen? I find the way mothers of trans children, and I assume Mimmy is an adult by now, get so involved in their children's dysphoria quite strange.

Jackie Green is well into her 20s. By this point most parents get on with their own lives. Yet Susie marches on. And Helen is hovering over Twitter and MN ready to give her threepennyworth.

Dont these people have anything better to do. Why dont their kids step in and tell them to give it a rest.

Mumsnet Radicalisation Portal with added Time Loop

Sounds fun. Can we go back to the 80s and enjoy all those gender non-conforming men in pop having fun with make-up, satin shirts and braids and the women rockkng denim dungarees and DMs please? Simpler times.

placemats · 26/06/2019 20:26

I'd be more impressed if P&G supply children kept in Trumps camps with soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste and sanitary protection. They manufacture all of those.

^This a thousand times.

P&G being Proctor and Gamble.

Seems only fair that they do a feature on Magdalen Berns.
An influential lesbian feminist who has even caught the eye of JK Rowling 😂

This is what happens when you let Dr Who be a woman.

Hi Helen - have you been forced by a judge to give evidence and then told to stop waffling again recently. I enjoyed that so much.

ZebrasAreBras · 26/06/2019 18:38

Mumsnet = pesky women. What with our dedication to women's rights, and children's safety. And our knowledge of biology.

MenstruatorExtraordinaire · 26/06/2019 18:31

Ah the famous Mumsnet Radicalisation Portal.....

ZebrasAreBras · 26/06/2019 18:30

Yeah - Helen hates us Wink everything's our fault. Because we remind her humiliation in court. Hi Helen - taken any trans people to court recently? Had the case thrown out?

So according to Helen on Twitter me posting on Mumsnet after the so called pile on happened caused the pile on to happen in the first place...... before I posted!

twitter.com/mimmymum/status/1143858868109402113?s=19

I must have opened some sort of portal in the time space continuum.

And then the original P&G Tweet was deleted less than one minute after I posted as pp couldn't load it one minute later, so no Mumsnetters could have replied anyway.....

I'm not sure P&G know what's going on. They've just liked my suggestions of some awesome feminist lesbians. Would be so great if we actually did get some lesbian visibility out of this. I would be impressed TBH

MenstruatorExtraordinaire · 26/06/2019 17:59

Wow so many really good feminist female LGB icons suggested to Duncan. I wonder which one he will choose next

Eaudear · 26/06/2019 17:45

Hang on, is that Duncan James as in Duncan from Blue?

Why is he taking over Procter and Gambles Twitter? To talk about Travis Alabanza? Confused

I'm so confused!

Goosefoot · 26/06/2019 17:22

So about this heat thing. I am pretty sure a gender non-conforming person who dresses like my Nana in the heat isn't going to get flak for it.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 26/06/2019 17:17

Ay! What happened? Why was that deleted @MNHQ

We need to know as we don't think it contravened the regs and don't want any strikes against us... what did we miss?
