The cosmetics brand Lush has been accused of “glorifying the removal of healthy breasts” over its transgender Pride display, which features a tiger with mastectomy scars.

A store in Chelmsford, Essex, has a window display of a cartoon tiger alongside the words “Proud of My Stripes”, with stripes painted in the pink, blue and white colours of the transgender flag.

The tiger also features stripes suggestive of “top surgery”, a procedure most commonly sought by transgender men and non-binary people to remove their breasts.

The image was shared on social media by Chelmsford city council. The post has since been edited to remove it.

I must admit I am not very good at visual images. I dont always get "the message".

So is it just me, or is this meant to be something that would appeal to children.

Or is that me just thinking this because the whole movement is so creepy.

And insulting to women.

All the stripes look like self harm 'stripes'.

Which an unnecessary mastectomy obviously is.
