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

Apparently some stickers found their way onto the Lush Edinburgh storefront causing horror and consternation on Princes St this morning. They are too awful to be shared, obviously, but clearly they carried some message of hateful bigotry - or biological fact as it used to be known.

Anyway, staff on the thread are letting it be known that anyone wearing a T-shirt carrying the dictionary definition of a woman would not be served - haven't seen a comment on what would happen if it said 'I ❤️ JKR'. Not sure how legal that is.

It’s just for their own benefit so that they can stick a post up on their social media account to show how super special they are.

I never understand what these sort of Woke warriors think they’re going to achieve. When faced with a daft sign like this there are three options the potential customer can take:
A) the most likely - the customer will ignore it or not notice it

B) next most likely - they go and buy their stinky soap somewhere else

C) never going to happen - the sign makes them rethink their entire approach to gender identity. They realise they’ve been a hateful bigot, but from now on will be full TWAW. Thanks to the staff of Lush they have become a better person. They strip off their ‘Adult Human Female’ t shirt and enter the shop naked to buy their politically sound bath bomb.

All Lush are doing is driving some customers elsewhere.

I imagine back home they will get called ‘Pish’.

Thisismytimetoshine · 04/08/2020 12:23

The sticker just says "Keep prisons single sex"??
And there were numbnuts posting on Lush's Facebook "OMG, hope you guys are safe"?!
I literally can't comprehend most of this, it just won't compute. 🤯

Be good to get it trending.

Who the hell knows - they don’t care as long as they can play the victim. Have they ever run a campaign against FGM it example or selective abortion/murder of girl babies? Or rape (either sex)?

They are choosing to back ‘sex/gender politics lite’. Not the nastty gritty, bloodied and violent sex based topics. But hey, they have glitter (which goes up your whatsit, making it itchy, and gets stuck in your bellybutton and backside-crack).

If they refused to serve someone on the basis of wearing a t shirt stating a fact which is the basis of the protected Sex characteristic in the Equalities Act, would they not be breaking the law?

Can I recommend the Yorkshire Soap Company for gentle and delicious smelling soaps? I have super dry skin and their soap doesn’t dry it irritate at all.

@MissEliza

Genuine question- can anyone suggest a substitute for Ultrabalm?! It's the only thing that doesn't make my skin react but I can't bear to give Lush another penny of my money after reading the Op.
Have you tried Balmonds Skin Salvation?

Oh dear. It seems none of you old fuddy duddies understand and you really need to get educated, like the folks at LUSH, before you kill everybody.

Everyone knows you don't need customers to make money from your business. Little gold coins just appear above your head and vanish into your pocket.

I know. I've played The Sims religiously for years.

Don’t be ridiculous you can’t get money like that.

You have to smash blocks with your head while avoiding doing any actual plumbing 😂

@Pillypocket666

Can someone come up with a one liner that we can all post? repeatedly?
I keep thinking of The Lego Movie where they robotically say "Everything Is Awesome" and think of them saying "everything is transphobic" so maybe a little GIF with it? (but copyright, so?)
SerenityNowwwww · 04/08/2020 11:08

I don’t know how to do a twitter link - It’s all on there (I’d also forgotten they did a product for charity and had Aimee C pictured in a staff T-shirt in a store for some reason).

BaronEssoStation · 04/08/2020 11:04

.. I’ve not used them since the ogre picture on social media promoting them and the campaign that came out as anti police..

I can't find anything online about either of those two things.

Anyone?

Thanks @Sereniela Bomb Cosmetics looks great. Cheaper too!

Presumably Lush think this person should be in a female prison. Rhona has said that in event of self ID, they wouldn't be able to prevent transfer of people like this.

Scott demanded that only female prison staff do strip searches and is considered Scotland's most dangerous prisoner. Would love to hear Lush make a case for Tiffany being locked up with vulnerable women!

I've stopped shopping at Lush because of their 'woke' attitude. A real shame, because I love their bath bombs.

Soubriquet · 04/08/2020 10:50

They believe trans women are women and they are our sisters

So therefore they should be in a woman’s prison cos they are women

SerenityNowwwww · 04/08/2020 10:42

I’ve not used them since the ogre picture on social media promoting them and the campaign that came out as anti police (I get the idea behind it but it came out very anti police) plus the nonsense they were putting into mail order packs on the US - protrans literature - they well bloody soap!!!!!

highame · 04/08/2020 10:41

I'm really proud - preens feathers. I looked at the Lush Edinburgh page last night and saw there were lots of 'isn't lush lovely', so I thought, well bugger that and put in the first anti-lush stance. I am Eileen Higham, and I don't give a shit who knows. I got likes

I would like to now tell you about The Daily Uterus Award Stars for anyone boldly going where no one has gone before. Be the first GC post on a list of wokie posts

I've started boycotting Lush, only in a last couple of months though. Used to really like their bubble bars as well, which is annoying, but I am happily using alternatives now.
