Just seen this on Twitter.

For those who like their Ginger Shampoo, can I suggest MooGoo.

Also, Aveeno is a good replacement for their Shea butter.

Other thoughts welcome. Feel free to suggest other ideas.

Who do they think has been buying their products for the past forty years ? Because it really wasn’t blokes.

This new thing where shops seem to think they are the political guidance for the nation is going to backfire very badly.

SpocksEyebrows · 10/06/2020 20:01

Won't shop there again.

CheerfuIPotato · 10/06/2020 20:00

I used to buy loads from them but no more. Fuck it. They won’t get another penny out of me.

A lot of high street shops won't be reopening. And that means a lot of women will lose their jobs.

This is not the time to upset your mainly female customers.

TooOldForSims · 10/06/2020 20:00

The bag says 'it's bloody natural' which I took to mean that being trans is natural.

As an aside, the BLM posters on there are terrific Empress (and can be downloaded as PDFs for free).

So they are!

I will support JKR over that cynical viciousness.
No more BodyShop. I’m done.

Ah well, the shops are usually empty and the website is always offering 40 or so % off of products, I'm sure they're on their way out anyway. Fingers crossed.

@XDownwiththissortofthingX

And the net tightens that little bit more around the transphobes.

Good on you Body Shop!

Is this the Body Shop's Inky the Office Boy attempting a little damage control? 😂
WhentheRabbitsWentWild · 10/06/2020 19:58

It became an over priced place where, the minute you set foot inside, a staff member is right there , I like to browse tyvm

I miss the Dewberry and I think a white musk it was . And they had a bag with milk bath in it ? I am going way back to when it was a pleasant shop to visit .

WaxOnFeckOff · 10/06/2020 19:57

Did the body shop do sanitary products? I think it's meant to be a clever pun about their products being natural and obviously menstruation. Hmm

WaxOnFeckOff · 10/06/2020 19:56

Bag says It's Bloody Natural - see up-thread for image by PP

FeelinFagin · 10/06/2020 19:56

Ironically, "It's Bloody Natural"

We already have all the Harry Potter books etc but I'm tempted to buy and donate another set to a woman's refuge.

I'll need to bin the movies though since that little gobshite Radcliffe is in them.

lionheart · 10/06/2020 19:54

What transphobia XDownwiththissortofthingX ?

HereForTheFeminismChat · 10/06/2020 19:54

The Body Shop added to the list of businesses that I'm boycotting.

montyliesandmontycries · 10/06/2020 19:54

And the bag says what?

cologne4711 · 10/06/2020 19:53

And the net tightens that little bit more around the transphobes

If transphobia is expecting womens sport, spaces and scholarships to be open only to biological women, I am transphobic.

And WOMEN menstruate. If you are a transman, go on the Pill. I am not keen on playing around with your hormones but you can't have it both ways.

Sexnotgender · 10/06/2020 19:52

When they post shite like this it doesn’t surprise me.

I didn't realise BS had operated as an MLM for that long.

MLM is an exploitative business model that causes huge losses among the great majority of sign ups, mostly women

Absolutely.

Nothing to do with transphobes - I couldn't give a shiny shite what someone chooses to wear, call themselves, whether they are gay straight or bi or really whatever they do within the law. But I won't stand for for woman's rights being degraded.

Thisismytimetoshine · 10/06/2020 19:52

@DiscontentedWoman

Well I've just diverted a not insignificant amount of money away from The Body Shop and bought more JKR books instead. 🖕 to The Body Shop
When will they learn not to allow the office junior sole control of social media?
cologne4711 · 10/06/2020 19:52

So the bulk of their customers, probably a massive percentage, are biological women but they've decided they don't matter?

Feels like a Ratner moment.
