Lush Edinburgh say they wouldn't serve anyone in "woman" T-shirt

this is about preventing bigots going to this Lush shop ...

oh I like this comment
'This is so brave of you but can I ask how you're enforcing it? I mean, I presume you'll have some sort of questionnaire to complete prior to entry but I have misgivings about the accuracy because a) most people go for the middle answer regardless; and b) some people lie. So I could end up being in a shop with someone I disagree with which is fundamentally unsafe for me.
The sign with the zeros (I get we don't all have enough O letters and I'm not judging) is a good first step but please back this up. Maybe contact Jeremy Kyle for one of his lie detectors - he doesn't need them any more. Or get a really sinister penguin asking the questions. (They're trans so that's ok - my son told me.)

Strange isn't it. 100 years ago cervix owners would have been smashing their windows for that.

And - they are being very short sighted. Piss of the older customers (and young feminists). Hope that the trendy woken types will carry on being trendy woken types and buy a lot of their stuff.

Watch as the trendy woken types grow the hell up and realise what a crappy tribe they were in ;and reject the brand), or jump on the next coming bandwagon which may very well be proper feminism. Either way, someone will go bankrupt (again?).

I only used to but the bath stuff for DH (before he was dyed purple) and it was an ordeal because the staff were very irritating. Of course the Body Shop off the list too...

Some of my friends/family were big fans of Lush and I’d buy their gifts from there. Not anymore after their ridiculous stance on women’s rights. Virtue signalling morons. They can feck right off.

I sincerely hope there is not enough people in the woke camp to keep the business afloat.

Lush really does honk and they turned DS purple at one stage. And as for the bloody glitter and crap in their bath bombs...

But obviously I can't enter lush anyway, even without my AHF T-shirt.

Cause I identify as an alpaca and they refuse to test on animals.

The toxic smell coming out of lush is enough to put most off. i don't know how the staff can stand it.

But surely it is illegal to refuse to serve someone for such a reason?
Maybe there ought to be a concerted campaign just to highlight the nonsense? Make sure you wear a face mask too.....to prevent feelings of nausea and migraine.

oh marvellous I was goign to improve their storefront but was too tired after the meeting yesterday - are there any photos circulating?

And there of lots of women now leaving comments on facebuik saying Lush are bollocks.

I would like to reverse engineer Angels on Bare Skin if I could get my mits on clay it would be quite easy I think.

If lush don't know that (biological) male humans cannot become (biological, again, without saying) female humans, then I can conclude I am significantly more educated on the subject than them.

HTH lush. Do better huns.

It's another business I've not been shopping with for a few years.
The bloody arrogance of them.

I think it is great to see a business standing up for what it believes in. If you don't like it don't shop there, simple.

Point 2.

I have always found lush v pongy. And their stuff overpriced. And I have sensitive skin/ a bit of ezcema. And while I understand that hiding in the bathroom is a bit of peace for a lot of women, it's a poor substitute to actual time to yourself.

The sale of female grooming as pampering, relaxation is shit tbh but that's another thread.

Lush cater to femininity. So this stance is in line with their thinking.

GC women say that gender stereotypes are restrictive. Of course many of us conform to some of them. But generally, there should be more freedom.

Lush are all about sterotypes. That is what their product is for.

So, no surprise really.

I was just pondering that @NiceGerbil. I bet a trans person wearing that wouldn’t be refused service.

Do does anyone based on Edinburgh have a male friend, family member, spouse etc

Who is prepared to put on some eyeliner/ and preferably a skirt or some glitter or something

And wear an adult human Female t-shirt, bag or something into the Edinburgh store?

My guess is they would NOT get questioned in any way whatsoever.

I wonder who buys most of their sickening sparkly thrush balls. Would it be..... women? 🤔 interesting stance to take in the face of an imminent recession.

I've just had a brief scroll through the replies on that Facebook post.

Lot's of wide eyed "Gosh, what a nasty response to your fabulous sign, hope you guys are safe!" nonsense.
I wish I could believe they're taking the piss...
What is this safe shite, does the word mean something quite different now?!

Their FB header says "All are welcome. Always"
Unless you wear one of those woman t-shirts, that's just beyond the pale.
