Events like don’t bother me but I crossed Lush off a long hind ago over exploitative workplace practices.

puds the issue is predatory males [not a reference to TW] taking advantage of trans inclusive policies to access previously female-only spaces and harm girls and women.

The victims tend to be working class or marginalised so it’s hard to get people to care.

@ScrimshawTheSecond surely Twinings are safe?

Thankfully I am no longer forced to frequent the Hell dimension that is Lush so this won't apply to me but agree with PP they've always been woke.

Thank you @Pityparty4one I have a lot of reading to do Blush

Lush stinks. Always has, always will.

ScrimshawTheSecond · 30/11/2019 11:36

Lush is not a shop I frequent. Can't make it past the industrial strength perfume barrier.

Yet to be troubled by any if these boycotts, can't help feeling a bit cheated, somehow. The day Twinings falls I'll be genuinely upset.

Lush fell years ago, haven't used them in years, partly because of their twaw stance but also their sales assistants are too in your face

Lush is not know for its feminist views given it promoted sexualization of it's mostly female staff a few years ago.
Customers were encouraged to kiss the staffs body to leave a lipstick print...which was of coursed abused by some men.

Puds
The "trans issue" is not a trans issue it is a women's rights issue.
The loudest voice on the trans train is male and it is these males and their supporters that believe males should have access to female spaces anytime they choose just because they say so.

Can I ask what the trans issue is? I’m seeing talk of it a lot but haven’t been able to get to the crux of the problem and am finding it confusing. I’m ashamed to say I’m a bit behind on the info with regards to trans and pan sexual ( I’m still not sure I fully understand pan sexuality) and have taken the approach of ‘do what makes you happy’ However MN is definitely making me feel I’ve missed a major piece on info on trans. If wouldn’t mind explaining that would be great as I feel rather ignorant at the moment.
