Oh good. It's a new poster questioning Posie's motives, money handling and integrity. We haven't had people do that in at least three days. How novel and exciting.

HirooOnoda · 25/10/2018 15:45

Your insinuation is a rather lazy effort @SwearyG, I am a long time lurker, infrequent poster on MN.

I concur that there is likely (we are already seeing it) to be some sort of pushback against Posie, all the more reason to adopt a belt and braces approach and ensure all of our ducks are in a row, this will avoid arming the inevitable critics in the future.

I have first hand experience of the cruel and exploitative nature of this specific industry and understand that it can be hard to avoid being part of the problem as opposed to being part of the solution.

Oh please go ask ethics of the trans are women tshirt makers.

I ordered one yesterday, went for large as did with tshirt, can always bung another warmer top on underneath, saves wearing heavy coat.

Plan to wear my everywhere, schools runs most definitely.

I’m buying a hoodie that I’d normally get of high street shop supporting their profits

I willing to pay more than usual because I supporting women’s rights! Couldn’t give a fuck it just £1 from my purchase goes into the campaign, Worth every fucking Penny!

Go question the TRAs leaders salary!

Or lobby outside Primark

Quality of tshirt s are fab by the way

@IKeepFlouncing

Well I suppose nobody can claim you aren’t passionate for the cause if not a little caustic Grin

You can save your whataboutery for someone else however

I would ask the same question (and regularly do) of anyone mass producing such merchandise - we shouldn’t overlook one injustice to support another.

I will also question where the majority of money disappears to with charitable donations, I find it disgusting the amount that is wasted in over the top CEO salaries and lavish office space when this money could and should be put to better use. In my experience all end up guilty of this eventually, from Cancer Research UK to Oxfam and very likely to TRA organisations. You may be happy with this practice of siphoning off money from honest charitable donations, I however am not

LangCleg · 25/10/2018 17:02

I want Christmas cards!

IKeepFlouncing · 25/10/2018 17:11

I’m bored it happens a lot.

I going to order canvas bag but my question is should I wait til next week as maybe I’d of sold a few items of mine so I can buy another hoodie

Or should I order now and drop a message to post it with my hoodie as not dispatched yet, so they could save postage and more towards buying Gin and Cake for ‘office Xmas party’

But what if they already packaged by item up, it might mean wasting parcel bag.

oh what to do....I know I could drop them a message but rather distract them, plus it’s 1700hrs they probably on the Gin now any how.

IKeepFlouncing · 25/10/2018 17:17

*rather not I meant

Xmas cards yes! I don’t normally do Xmas cards but would this year.

What else

Oh Cups/mugs - perfect secret Santa gift, for the office at home! Even my dad likes cups but needs to big enough he drinks tea by the bucket

Calendar? Yes I need a calendar enough space to write all stuff I need to remember in mundane life

clarinsgirl · 25/10/2018 17:19

Have ordered the tote bag. No one will know wtf it means but I'll know.

IKeepFlouncing · 25/10/2018 17:21

What about Phone case covers too! We know how careless us woman are at dropping phone.

I wouldn’t mind a bobbly woolly hat to match my hoodie now weather getting bit cold

FloralBunting · 25/10/2018 18:03

Really? While I am totally good with challenging exploitation, the comparison of Posie to a massively salaried charity CEO siphoning off funds is bloody barking.

You could contact Posie about the ethics of the companies she is using which would probably be more likely to effect a useful change if that is your passion.

Or you could post here and come across as either a really earnest and dim hippy or yet another critic with plenty to gripe about but nothing much to positively add.

But thanks for the heads up about getting our ducks in a row. When women are stripped of our rights, we shall be cursing that if only we had made certain our campaign garments came from fair trade sources, we would not all be in the gulag.

Remember All Capone, Posie!

Badstyley · 25/10/2018 18:17

Lol, wonder if Travis has published accounts from his taxi fund yet? And I bet Ruth Hunt is on a fair wad. Wouldn’t all that money be better spent helping all those poor abandoned transpeople on the street, who’ve been kicked out by their evil transphobic parents?

Such a lot of concern about how women spend their money and where it goes. I know, instead of pithering about a few bob here and there, how about getting on at the likes of Amazon to pay a bit of income tax?

I think £30 for a hoody is pretty reasonable, but I could probably get one from Asda for less. Maybe go and ask Asda about their supply chain as well. I’m sure they shift a lot more kit than Posie.

Fucking honestly...

bitheby · 25/10/2018 18:27

Arrived today. About to go to the theatre. Leaving it on...

Posie's hoodies are up!
Veganfortheanimals · 25/10/2018 18:27

Clarinsgirl...yeah ..I'm sort of getting it ....it's saying no to trans?

Veganfortheanimals · 25/10/2018 18:29

Won't they just assume it includes them ...I think I am a woman therefore I am?

FloralBunting · 25/10/2018 18:31

It's not saying anything about trans at all. It's being very clear about what woman means.

bitheby · 25/10/2018 18:36

It's a statement about sex and by implication sex based rights. Nothing about gender.

OrchidInTheSun · 25/10/2018 18:41

Mine is lovely. I've worn it taking the dog out and for a supermarket trip. Tomorrow I'm going to a museum with the kids on the train and I shall wear it then too.

I haven't had a hoodie with a kangaroo pocket for years. Forgotten how comfy they are!

Posie's hoodies are up!
EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 25/10/2018 19:02

Mine arrived and it's lovely too. Really warm & snuggly. I'll wear it at the weekend to go shopping.

IKeepFlouncing · 25/10/2018 19:12

Boo hoo mine not dispatched yet, I bet they have loads of orders to get through.

Good luck at the Museum tmrw, half term all those parents with kids, it will be packed, just like theatre.

AllStevesPals · 25/10/2018 19:14

OhHolyJesus · 25/10/2018 19:23

OrchidInTheSun · 25/10/2018 19:55

JillyArmeeen · 25/10/2018 20:02

Would those of you lucky enough to have lovely hoodies already mind sharing how you find the sizing?
I have the t-shirt, medium is a little snug on me, I'm 5, 1, size 10ish but with big boobs.

Catmint · 25/10/2018 20:28

I'm size 18 with big boobs. Does anyone if the larger size is likely to fit?

ResistanceIsNecessary · 25/10/2018 20:46

Catmint I'll let you know. I'm a 16/18 on top with GG norks!

Mine arrived today but I wasn't in so I need to go and collect it from the delivery office tomorrow.
