Assuming this is a way for predominantly children to circumvent parents and get their hands on a binder.

This is really bad. I was 12 back in 1999 and hated that I had started growing boobs. I would have picked one of these up for sure. There was nothing gender conflicted about me.

they're happy to sacrifice them to an ideological cause.

This - so sinister

Also the males, however they identify, who are supportive of it. Ugh.... what's it got to do with them?.....
All these people, so invested in kids they have no understanding off or connection with. It's so fucking creepy. They give such little fucks about these girls they're happy to sacrifice them to an ideological cause.

@MintMe That's just what I was going to say. People on Insta are saying "well done Lush for supporting the LGBT community", but what has breast binding to do with LGB? Apart from perhaps persuading young lesbians that they're really "trans" if they fancy other girls....

IsThePopeCatholic · 09/11/2021 19:29

They’ll be encouraging breast ironing next. Ugh.

@Blackandwhitehorse

Just seen they’ve now nearly deleted all of the very reasonable comments calling them out

Why does this all fall under the umbrella of LGBTQIA??

When only one of those letters, as far as I'm aware, will be interested in breast binding?

Same with pronouns? Only affects transgender people or those who do not feel they identify with their birth sex.

Is non binary even part of the LGBTQIA community??

Good. Get it out there. This needs wide publicity.

This is so disgusting I don't even know where to start. Surely there is a massive safeguarding issue here?

What next? These people are sick.

While I was there I saw his Downfall video - hysterical

AgnesNaismith · 09/11/2021 14:40

I reported the IG post - it should be removed. As I reported one of the trans women who ‘liked’ the post for their pictures in a gimp mask stroking their erection. Good company you’ve got there Lush - in both senses.

IG is rated 13, yes?

How strange! I can see it via that link but not on my IG app. Anyway, good to see lots of comments calling them out, at least.

Well have had a look. Most are quite critical.

There’s a ‘gender neutral’ (bearded person) cheerleading quite strongly (no need of a binder)

  • and quite a few barely literate ‘you gonna shut ya mouf, they doin grate fingz’ types. And a lot of clapping.
Maerchentante · 09/11/2021 12:32

Post still there for me, just browsing the comments. Lush Romford commented "Love this!", to which genderswap responded "Let's work together", of course all with a bunch of emojis.

What are they trying to achieve?

Jesus wept.

A soap shop feels qualified to dispense pseudo medical garments which are used for a purpose that is indistinguishable in most people’s eyes from self harm on teenage girls bodies, who are engaged in this practice in a way which makes clear that the target audience is young teen and tween girls hiding their self harm from their parents…and they’re doing this in the name of equality and progress?

I don’t have enough swears for this.

it’s not wholly founded in sexism and girls distress at their objectification, of course it’s not! Lush aren’t trying to drive a wedge between teen boys and their parents by offering them things that have an 89% chance of harming them when used as instructed because…erm…reasons!

The IG post seems to have gone now.

purpleboy · 09/11/2021 12:00

Tbf fox there are a lot of comments that don't agree with it. I've shared it in my gc groups , so hopefully more people will comment.
