I cancelled my Vogue subscription when they presented a man as a woman for the 100 years of suffrage edition.

I am debating cancelling tv license.

I no longer use Asos or Topshop or M&S or Ocado or Tesco.

I no longer watch CH4 or BBC news or buy the Guardian.

Guardian, c4 news.

If I was a Labour supporter, they would've lost my vote.

Lush
LibDems

Labour, Lib Dem's, greens
Ocado
National geographic magazine after featuring 7 people on the cover for their gender issue, only one of which (the trans man) was female.
Caledonian sleeper (no I don't want to share a tiny cabin with someone unless they're female)
Ditto youth hostels
Top shop

I’ve seen on twitter that Waitrose insisted that Posie Parker’s billboard was removed swiftly from opposite their store .
I really don’t want to boycott Waitrose, but for this issue I will if this is true.

Ocado. I spent a fortune with them, as did several of my friends who are now also boycotting

Topshop

YHA - will NEVER stay there again - used to go a lot as a family but it's not safe now Angry

Bye bye M&S, Ocado and Waitrose - shopping locally/markets, Booths and Lidl instead (and Birds Eye!)

Lush

taken out a subscription to the Spectator because of James Kirkup and also buy the Times/ST at the weekends.

Cancelled my monthly donation to NSPCC (cowards) and Barnardos, will not give to Children in Need again and donate to smaller women's charities like Jean Hatchet's instead and FPFW/Women's Place/Posie.

Am currently considering what to do about Barclays - have various accounts with them for over 40 years (complete inertia) but they are on the Stonewall list too

And am relaying all this to my three teenage/adult daughters too - all stopped buying in TopShop after the changing fiasco.

M&S, no girlguides for either DD now, Ocado account cancelled, Lush (though didn't buy there a lot anyway but won't at all now), will not shop at Tesco anymore (though didn't a lot in first place).

Thinking about not paying TV license next year over this (sadly only recently renewed). Thought I couldn't cope without cbeebies but actually realised that £150 would buy a hell of a lot of peppa pig DVDs, and have also discovered lots of good kids shows on Amazon - cost of amazon prime for the year is less than tv license.

GCHQ? Seriously.

Waitrose? Really? Oh, no.

The ad is not what it appears to be. There are hints that stonewall has used the logos of companies they’re affiliated with without informing them that the ad would contain a link to the consultation and suggested answers. I’d bet money that they were told only it was a generic ‘supporting trans people’ ad which of course they would be behind.

As it breaks the law for government depts to be biased towards a consultation like this, I would imagine some departments may be having a little word behind closed doors 🔥

Perhaps some companies too. Anyone with a hint of critical thought can see where self id is going and no one is going to want to be seen to have been supportive of it when the inevitable fallout happens.

This is a massive own goal for stonewall. What they intended as a rather authoritarian ad showing that all the big lads were in their corner so back off or else Has turned into something quite different.

FekkoTheLawyer · 20/10/2018 11:27

The snip was from a tweet - it was either a shot or a photo of an ad (I saw it a few times). Either way - stonewall created it!

Beamur · 20/10/2018 11:27

I really hope so.
It's one thing for commercial companies to chase the woke pound, quite another for Govt departments to be seen to be unimpartial.
