The Body Shop has fallen

That ratio is pretty impressive though!

Was literally about to place an order. Never again.

You know what? I couldn't give a shiny shite if you're "a woman who has been born in the body of a man". Great. Take the hormones, get the womb whipped out, stop them pesky biologically female periods and change your identity to Male with all the accompanying limitations (men don't have periods or babies ya know!). As for men becoming women? Whatever. Sodding well leave the women to the women's sports though. Being born Male gives a biological sporting advantage against real women. I don't even care if an ex-Male uses a bathroom for women as long as he has the bits of a girl now. However, self ID can piss off. You want access to female spaces? Prove you have a right to it. Do the treatments, change your lives entirely. Live every day as a female. Get the okay from the doctors and the therapists. But self ID (which can fuck right off!) means any bloke can say "I'm a woman!" And invade our space. Also, the fact is, no one should have to accept you. An ex-Male will never, ever be a real woman. It's just a fact. A new woman, perhaps, but not a real one and businesses should shut the hell up telling us how we should think. Shut up and sell your shit to us.
It's a shame because DD and myself loved Bodyshop products. Oddly enough, the men in our life don't. I guess they don't care they're pissing off their demographic.

And all those supposedly "woke" people having a pop screaming "TERF! TERF!"? Bey they'd run a mile if their female date whipped out a dick

It's been overpriced fanny agitating chemical crap for 20 years anyway. Brand has been overrun with chavtastic MLM marketing as a last ditch attempt to tout their wares. On the flip side I've only ever watched the Harry Potter films and after swooning over Jk Rowling this week I have downloaded some stuff on audible.

How dense their social media staff must be to not notice the glaring contradiction in what they’ve posted.

Periods - natural (according to the Body Shop, it’s their bag I’m quoting)

Who cannot ever menstruate - TW

Who are they proclaiming to ‘stand up for’ (as if it’s needed on the echo chamber of SM) - TW

Who hates JKR for pointing out that menstruation is inherently female - TW (well the vocal ones on SM anyway)

Will TW now hate Body Shop? This is such garbage, so badly thought out and intellectually illiterate.

Either way, I can imagine what their dim work experience kid was trying to do. So Body Shop, I’m out, and at least a dozen of my friends will also boycott you because, believe it or not, there are thousands of us menstruating womb-havers who are sick of this bullshit, but we’re just too bullied by men to come out publicly and say it. And I can’t understand why no one can see the fucking irony in that.

OMG they are getting absolutely roasted! What a ratio!

@Wishingstarr you need to look in 'tweets and replies'. It might not be there for long though!

If you have a minute, send a quick email to their CEO please:

I also can't find the Tweet. Is this real?

Haven't read the full thread but I was a very loyal early Body Shop customer (from early 80s onwards when I first had money of my own to spend). But they lost me when they moved to MLM. Same with Usborne Books. Both perfectly good brands but sales methods stink and should never have been touched with a barge pole. Management need to look long and hard at whoever they've appointed in charge of Sales.

I’m appalled - I can only assume some woke intern has been left in charge of the account again.

Wow.

What a massive own goal. I bought their products for 5 people. No longer.

I'm not personally affected because I don't buy anything from the Body Shop anyway. I actually think that was a very irresponsible tweet. On here we often condemn individuals for encouraging pile ons. It's actually worse using a business account. I read JKR's blog on the other thread and she is clearly very determined and prepared for the onslaught but the stuff that has been said to her is dreadful.

I think there products are a rip off

I am DISGUSTED by them. I will never spend another penny in their shop. Get on Twitter n hashtag boycottthebodyshop they're a disgrace

Absolute tossers. I've shopped there for 30 years. Christ know what Anita Roddick thinks

The Body Shop can go fuck themselves

So it hasn't fallen/gone under/liquidated?

I think the thread title should be changed really as it's pretty misleading.

I cannot see the tweet have they deleted it?

And the net tightens that little bit more around the transphobes

What net? Why make such silly comments

Maybe you need a penis to understand?
