Lush?

I've just seen that Lush is trending on Twitter, having admitted donating to Woman's Place UK.

I had thought that they took a publicly pro-trans stance previously. Didn't they have signs protesting transphobia and complaining that I ❤️ JKR stickers were transphobic?

I have become confused.

I also didn't mean to post a Godzilla zmas tree link just then.
Correction and clarification:

At least I haven't posted anything by the traditional protest band Seize The Day. Be thankful.

I will still boycott (a have quite a list going). Plus they stink and turn your bath (and child) blue and you end up with glitter in your privates..

Lush has got some cognitive dissonance going on. I don't think I've caught up with their position on the issue yet. Can anyone summarise?

I'll probably still boycott them, because of the overperfume and the pressure for staff to work naked.

He didn’t use the C word did he? 😡

This all kicked off an interesting discussion with DH yesterday. He noticed my silence when he said 'Oh dear Lush have donated to Women's Place' - I basically said to him they are a group started in good faith to help women, not bash trans people (unlike some other groups IMO)... he feels their of the unhealthily 'Just asking questions...?' type but at the same time after discussion he agreed that there are some spaces/situations where it is acceptable for them to be for cis women only. Which I think he always had believed anyway, but I guess, yes, what riles me about this is the 'purity spiral' thing where there's some suggestion we must burn the heretics because 'she retweeted something from a TERF account' or 'they donated to a woman's group that said something I disagreed with' etc.

@FannyCann

This Lush? Grin
There was a tweet where someone asked if he could wear his woman definition T-shirt into a lush store and the - Edinburgh store manager I believe - store tweeted back that he wouldn’t be allowed to wear it. Not sure who could burst into flames or if the staff would need to hide in the panic room etc...

That’s the poster in the shop window from the quoted post except the photo didn’t appear, not the poster who posted the post that I quoted! BlushGrin

That’s because you were only showing one sign, not the full set, which is when you can’t come in according to that poster Wink

It's beautiful to see. The perfect Purity Spiral.

Lots of talk of boycotting Lush .
It’s not TRAs - it’s sweet, kind people who just believe they’re doing the right thing

Ereshkigalangcleg · 01/12/2020 20:27

Now they've funded WPUK, suddenly TRAs have a problem because Lush also apparently donated to the police after George Floyds death. But that's only just right now began to bother them. It didn't matter when they had smoky asses.

It's almost like..

Today, between the full moon, Keira's verdict, and Page's coming out, it's genuinely mayhem on Twitter.

@SophocIestheFox Hahahahaaas "thrushbombs".... love it!

SophocIestheFox · 01/12/2020 18:33

I love a nice cold glass of schadenfreude, it’s just so zingy and refreshing Grin

Lush, and other would be wokesters: this is how it always ends. You can never be woke enough, and they will turn on you in the end. Just stop lecturing people, sell your thrushbombs and have done!

EveryPlanetHasAYorkshire · 01/12/2020 18:23

No mention of sexism on that picture I notice...or ableism for that matter.

Today just keeps getting better and better with the meltdowns.

It's funny, Lush were saints when they were blowing smoke up the arses of TRAs.

Now they've funded WPUK, suddenly TRAs have a problem because Lush also apparently donated to the police after George Floyds death. But that's only just right now began to bother them. It didn't matter when they had smoky asses.

I don't think lush actually admitted anything.
WPUK was sick of being called a far right christian organization, so it published it's accounts
Bath bomb anyone ?
