Late on Tuesday evening, so I was quite tired and not concentrating very well, but did it show a trans wooman being encouraged to use savings for a 'breast augmentation' operation?
Would they have an advert encouraging a woman to have cosmetic surgery?

Very odd.

Yes I saw this. I thought exactly the same, would they show a young woman saving up for surgery to make her body more 'feminine?'

Sorry, not one of the worst, THE worst: bank.green/banks/barclays

I don't know how anyone could call them themselves progressive and bank with them. Guess they have to distract from this with 'feel-good' ads.

Sorry if this is derailing the thread a bit. They're just awful in almost all ways.

Barclays is one of the worst banks from a climate change perspective. Nobody should be using them. Funny how they're championing 'social justice' (if new boobs count as that) while actively destroying the world.

It's all part of the Stonewall League Table of Trans Champions. They can write about their advert in their submission and be awarded lots of points and head pats for being good 'allies'. It's so lame, and yet incredibly effective in force feeding the general public all this pish.

I saw that. First time I've seen a bank suggesting taking out a loan for cosmetic surgery

I don’t know, but you can see why all the banks are going wild for trans ideology, can’t you? Want a loan for those new breasts, Ma’am? Want to put those payments to Gender GP on a credit card? We are here for that.
