Just seen this on Twitter.

For those who like their Ginger Shampoo, can I suggest MooGoo.

Also, Aveeno is a good replacement for their Shea butter.

Other thoughts welcome. Feel free to suggest other ideas.

OK, I'm sure it won't stay there long, but it seems their reviews on their website for their products are auto-approved, so I've just managed to post this on one of their shea butters Grin

No need to use your real email, a temp one from temp-mail.org/ works fine!

Their website has multiple transphobic typos. Instead of "ejaculators", it says products for "men".

Ooh, now this could be a fun game.

May I suggest there's ample opportunity here for a number of reviews taking the Body Shop to task for its appalling transphobia in targetting its shaving products at "men" rather than "growers of facial hair"?

JemimaShore · 12/06/2020 23:10

Thank you Melroses - that's the one.

Redshoeblueshoe · 12/06/2020 23:13

Excellent work there Divoc Wine

Don’t forget trust pilot (although they just have 2.5 stars to start with)

acatcalledjohn · 12/06/2020 23:24

It looks like they have disabled my account but simply not confirmed it to me, despite me asking them to.

Is someone able to answer this question on ejaculator's shaving cream?

Turns out I last bought from them on Amazon.

I have left this review:

I used it to wash my menstruator’s hands. The body shop no longer allows me to call them women’s hands. Thus, I am now washing my hands of any further purchases from this organisation. It is a shame, but the smell of grapefruit does not cover the stench of misogyny.

Also, at the bottom of that shaving cream page was this.

They have lost the fucking plot.

I've bought their shower gels for years. I loved the shea butter and rose ones. I won't be buying from them again.

Am considering sending my loyalty card back to the head office - taped to a 'relevant' image. I was thinking of the picture of the womb flipping the bird that crops up on Twitter a lot. Anyone know where I can find it?

Gibbonsgibbonsgibbons · 13/06/2020 00:57

Google “uterus middle finger” Lots of images to SS

BadMoon · 13/06/2020 01:12

Thanks Gibbons - I've had a look. I can't find the one I'm looking for - it's like an X-ray image or black and white photo. I'll use one of the cartoon ones instead.

Gibbonsgibbonsgibbons · 13/06/2020 01:34

Ahh shame hopefully whichever you use will make a strong impression Grin

Gingerkittykat · 13/06/2020 04:02

The womb sticking up the middle finger is by Jess de Wahls

I went to sign up to the Body Shop to post my review of their male shaving brush but couldn't because the only pronouns I could use were Mr, Miss, Ms, Mrs, Dr and Fr. They clearly don't care about non binary and other gender variants.

Porridgeoat · 13/06/2020 05:39

Brilliant review

SophocIestheFox · 13/06/2020 06:11

That response! Jesus suffering Christ. Men have periods?

They have come entirely unmoored from reality.

Sexnotgender · 13/06/2020 07:50

Finding this quite cathartic.

Anotherlovelybitofsquirrel · 13/06/2020 08:07

@Sexnotgender that's brilliant Grin

Lordfrontpaw · 13/06/2020 08:36

Did I mention trust pilot? Come on now, own up - which one of you was it? Adrienne...

BadMoon · 13/06/2020 10:07

@Gingerkittycat - thank you! She has some really great stuff in her shop. 😍

Cismyfatarse1 · 13/06/2020 10:07

They actually published it. Note my lovely user name.

Lol 😂

sleepydragons · 13/06/2020 10:28

I may have just reviewed their product for men. When I registered I got an email stating 'there is something for everyone at the Body Shop' - oh the irony Grin

TheWayOfTheWorld · 13/06/2020 11:21

These are brilliant - loving the comments about being triggered by the word "men" etc Grin

Cismyfatarse1 · 13/06/2020 12:34

Have you seen the videos / screenshots searching for the word women on the Body Shop site?

0 for women

64 mentions of men

So, assuming 95% of their products, roughly, are aimed at women, why not a single mention?
