Wow. feel like you can really tell the sporting cultures that don’t really want women to be included.

Bye Ripcurl, stopping buying your stuff now

TrainedByCatsToBeScathing · 27/01/2024 21:43

I’ve bought Rip Curl gear before as well but won’t be again

Noshowlomo · 27/01/2024 19:01

Good comments on their instagram page though. People are not happy

What gets me is that if an actual woman looked like him she would never ever get a modelling deal. Real women are incredibly harshly judge on their appearance. But special trans women get a free pass!

It really shows that they do know who is female and male deep down.

"over her opposition to transgender people competing in women's sport" (re Bethany).

How many TIMES? It's an opposition to MALES in women's sport ffs.....

The size of him!

I'm a SCUBA diving instructor. I have loads of Rip Curl gear, but I won't be spending any more money with them.

If you need cheering up take a look at the replies to their recent twitter posts:

Rip Curl uses TW to promote women’s surfing

Strange decision.

A disabled person continuing in the sport they love despite the horrific experience of a shark attack and the handicap of losing a limb — that truly is inspiring, whatever their sex.

An ordinary able-bodied man using his physical advantages to compete against women is just contemptible.

What nitwit thought that would be good PR for the company?

How kind 🙄

I have actually bought RipCurl gear in the past - won’t be buying it again.

I have too and won't be doing so anymore.

Healthy able bodied male backed by a multi million dollar corporate company (and a bunch of middle class women who’ve spent years moaning about lived experience, intersectionality, underrepresentation of women in sports and the importance of being kind) bullies lone disabled woman into silence.

Whoopaday · 26/01/2024 22:53

Just nope.

MrGHardy · 26/01/2024 18:37

This is exactly why they're just a modern day fanatic Church. Consider themselves the moral beacons in the world but turn around and viciously target anyone who doesn't submit.

LakeTiticaca · 26/01/2024 18:03

Another one bites the dust.....

menopausalmare · 26/01/2024 17:49

Another company for the list ...

Delphinium20 · 26/01/2024 17:39

Makes me seethe to see these mediocre men and their henchmen allies force out a woman who was disabled by a shark attack but kept surfing. These wankers get "misgendered" and fall to pieces.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 26/01/2024 17:06

The disgusting comments towards Bethany from "I'm so moral and righteous" trans activists and their allies are always quite something, too.

SinnerBoy · 26/01/2024 16:40

Well, that's lovely, isn't it? They got rid of a disabled woman and used this person instead. Haven't they got the wit to realise that it'll be off-putting to many women? Or do they simply not care?
