Reply from the Body Shop re JKR... just so dreadful...

I want that book, so I can royally take the piss out of it, page by page. Having read a lot of " how to be a better trans ally, you inadequate cis woman" blogs/thoughtfarts I am expecting a doozy.

Jeez if you read that talking about pausing the campaign what the fuck where they going to do, send those cretinous bags with that vile book of pomo shite from that old man gender studies professer to more high profile women they don't approve of, suggesting they all calm down dear and have a fucking bath.

That's staggering. And now they are pleading with the poor mugs who have bought into the MLM scam to wait while they figure out how sort that fucking nuclear bath bomb out. YOU CAN NOT MAKE IT UP.

it really is imploding.

I don’t think they’ve made it any better tbh - using JKR talking about being an abuse survivor to launch a new campaign aimed at “menstruators” is just abhorrent.

They can fuck off all the way to hell. And when they get there... you know how it goes from there.

What does "we'll reach out (🤮) when we have a view on the next steps" mean? Shouldn't you make sure you have a fucking clue before you start lambasting someone on Twitter?

Hahahahaha Body Shop in free fall shocker!

“Body Shop has had a meltdown over THAT tweet. A well-placed source tells me they feel 'backed into a corner' & uncertain how to respond. Just received a weak media response: 'we welcome hearing different points of view... ‘Hope shareholders feel the same way when profits drop.”

See attached for what they said to consultants re THAT tweet.

Definitely. Will check them out.

No problem Serenity

Fuxake. The White Musk Kool-Aid has been well and truly downed, hasn’t it.

That’s my custom gone.

Haha, the bloody neck of them announcing they've a big smile waiting for us. They won't be needing one for me, the morons.

Ereshkigalangcleg - thank you!

Does anyone know how we can find out whether these companies are actually being funded by the trans lobby (or rather, the taxpayer via the trans lobby?) Are there laws about who can make request to view their accounts? Would you have to be a shareholder or board member, I wonder?

Didn’t someone come on here last year and had been at some strategy meeting where they said something along the lines of ‘going woke anyway, so just slip on a few ‘period matters’ type messages to throw those pesky women off the scent - then go for the jugular’ (cue photo of our ‘lil with message sharpied onto their hand).

"JM’s (James Morton of Scottish Trans Alliance) campaigning tips were to gain trust in the local community- and to approach moderate feminists, “correct misconceptions and forgive any ignorance they may have displayed”. They want to gain trust and make themselves likeable.

Apparently small acts like helping to campaign about period poverty or retweeting the local branch of Women’s Aid will make a difference and result in some reciprocation. They want to make it look like they care about Women's issues so they don’t appear threatening"

The apology window had closed. Ta-ta.

I know this is off subject but I don't get that Daye advert. What are the basketball about?!

As if emailing me the same email I contacted them to complain about wasn't bad enough! Now they send us all this shit

I am slightly baffled at the period industry that has sprung up in recent years. I had a look at the one that is headed up bt the woman having a go at JKR and terfs, Bloody Good Period and it's fascinating. The job of this apparantly fantastic company is collect donations and hand them out, with a large staff spending a chunk of the donations and public money on themselves. They have a bloke in charge of education in schools on periods. There's loads of these parasite period organisations suckling off the charity tit....

I suppose gender studies grads have to go somewhere but this is just the same old capitalism with a charitable face.

They can fuck AAAAALL the way off with this non apology.

ive emailed them, signed it with my name and in brackets "adult human female"

ive said im sorry for the reps most affected by all this i pointed out that trans men are not there primary demographic they also dont sell period products and they should have kept calm and sold body butter

i may have been slightly sarcastic

Same here. Not quite an apology is it.

"Your view has been noted menstruator but I'd quite like it if I can keep your custom as it turns out teenagers can't afford our products"
