DO BRITISH MUMS CARE ABOUT CHEMICALS IN CHILDREN'S CLOTHING?

[FashionAndMumsResearch]

Along with the rise of clean eating, beauty, and homeware, fashion may be emerging as the next safety concern.

I'm a Master's student at the London College of Fashion, researching non-toxic childrenswear!

I'd be massively grateful if any British mothers of children aged 3-12 could take 5 minutes to complete the questionnaire. I have to hit 200 responses, which is challenging as I don't personally know many mothers. If you feel like it and have the time, please feel free to share it with any friends or group chats. https://arts.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cLOsTjZpcDVgKWy

Thank you so much and have a wonderful week Xx

Why can't you simply ask what sex the respondent is?

You're surveying mothers.

Only women can be mothers.

Also, I'd seriously question the ethics of asking people for their gender, which is made-up bollocks anyway.

Not ok. Posting on reddit to complain about us.

Wow!

WOW AMELIE!

Pretending to be all chummy with us on this thread, then heading off to Incel & Trans Central (Reddit) to have a pop?

I'm speechless. How dare you!

A bit snide to expect people to contribute to your research and then moan on Reddit. As a researcher you should perhaps have looked more at the forum you’ve chosen to question rather than going off to find out more via the famously reliable forum of Reddit. Really not ok.

your supervisor sounds mad 😂. is this sort of thing (ridiculous trigger warnings) normal at your university?

OP has started a thread about us on Reddit.

It's very bad form Amelie.

She should have just started a thread here asking why so many people feel so strongly about it.

bit weird to go to Reddit of all places.

Not really. Everyone knows that Reddit is where the TRAs hang out.

Hi all, I am trying to understand the thoughts behind this better. I have no opinion on this and am neutral. I really just want to learn more because I am young and did not realise people felt strongly about it. I have been updating question wording to try and make sure people are comfortable.
I have no issue with anyone's opinions.

Hi I never once complained, just want to learn more about this so I can avoid upsetting anyone in the future.

Hi, I felt like I understood the feelings on here from people's posts. I only went on Reddit because it is a larger platform.

I’ve completed; I hope you get the number you need. I can’t believe people are getting so far through the survey and then closing it down because of a gender question.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your time

Hiii thank you for your kind words and time completing it, I really appreciate it! 😊x

Oh just let her collect her research

Can you post a link? Cant qr code

Oops, you're not familiar with the university ecosystem at all are you? They are absolutely rabid with this nonsense at every level. A real shame.

Exactly. There ‘nowt wrong with a little bit of misogyny. leave her alone.

Take it back to the board that loads of us have hidden for this reason. Starting pointless fights and doxxing posters.

Hi I'm really interested to here about this view point please may someone explain it for me. I would like to hear all sides of this argument because as a student at an arts uni, you don't often come across this debate. I am neutral in this and genuinely interested.

Honestly, I wouldn’t engage. They’ve already smelled blood. They’re not out to educate, just to attack.

Surely it’s irrelevant whether they “identify as being female” ? As mothers, are female. Anyone who doesn’t want to be called a mother won’t be filling in a survey for mothers. If your survey is only for mothers, and doesn’t include fathers, then it’s a female only survey by definition so the gender nonsense is unnecessary.
Anyway, yes I do care about toxic clothing, and school uniform was the hardest for me to get round, all that polyester with toxic stain resistant coatings. My children are now young adults though so too old for me to do the survey.
