The Body Shop has fallen

[Cismyfatarse1]

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.

"Drop the P word to end period shame" - how thick are women around the world that they didn't think of that, could have saved themselves from dying in menstrual huts, missing out on education, etc.
And how fucking rude and tone deaf to send it to JKR.

@listsandbudgets no lush are ridiculously woke. They had Ogre in a store in Canada for a photo op. I boycott them too.

Like the look of wild-sage , thanks for the tip .

They’ve lost their fucking minds surely nobody can justify this as a marketing move never mind the “being a decent person” move.

For people saying they can’t see it it’s all there but you’re probably on a block list that they’re using - go incognito.

I wonder if Lush will have the (butter)balls to come out in support of Rowling.

No chance. Lush support Mermaids.

You know what gave me period shame? It wasn't the p word. It was not being able to afford towels at secondary school, having to use loo role, realising during PE it was not staying attached - I won't go into details in case of fetish hunters but lots of unpleasant stuff to deal with.
But hey, give girls a bag!

Oger supports lush too. Nah.

My money goes to the first company that actually speaks in support of JK, I'll probably be a loyal lifelong customer.

There are 2 BodyShop accounts - one is the U.K. version. I assume this one is the corporate one.

I was happy when they ditched stonewall a few years back. What a bunch of weasels.

Pah! Copy & paste fail!

I seem to have completely missed something. What has JK done that's upset bodyshop?

For daring to be a woman wanting to use the word 'women' describe women's biology.

@Thisismytimetoshine not at all, I support my friends who have made the choice to transition and understand how difficult that can be.

Aveeno is a dreadful replacement as they still test on animals for all their products. Whereas bodyshop don't. (I realise this isn't the main concern of your post but it might be be others!)
Once they sold out to L'oreal they joined europes biggest animal testing company. Nope they have no moral high ground.

And the net tightens that little bit more around the transphobes
Good on you Body Shop!

Eh? Are you reading the same shit I am?

You're not one of those them there wafflers with nothings substantial to say are you?

I've responded on twitter. Won't be buying from them again. Someone has posted the CEO email / contact info if people want to express their disappointment.

You do realise that you trans-dislikers are not a major base for the Body Shop or any shop and that you're a tiny teenchy minority thankfully?

They've got nothing to worry about then.

Though weren't they pretty much on the ropes financially to begin with?

When I saw the title I thought Body Shop had gone into administration

I would wish it on them but for the job losses

Woke Capital 101, it's unfortunate but JK did interject herself into the IDPOL twatter arguments.

It is the usual purity spiral and purging from the vocal left, it's almost as old as time but more frequent now with instant response, if you live by the sword you die by it.

I come down firmly on JK's side, but this is her being hoist by her own petard, the vocal left eating itself.

It would be better for some to realise IDPOL is the issue, but they will ignore all that and pretend it is because she is a successful woman one day whilst railing on twitter the next about straight white males without any sense of irony.

She was already ratioed for her stance on Corbyn antisemitism, it was only matter of time until she became a target, this is the life of someone having fuck you money from writing a book being held to some higher standard that should be 'correct' line of thinking.

Oh good recommendation for Wild-Sage! That stuff looks incredible

Gross bullying of J.K Rowling? Seriously?! How about gross bullying of trans people?! JKR should educate herself and so should some of you by the sounds of things.

For all of you who say MN isn't transphobic, you all need to go take a good hard long look at yourselves.

It's a Ratner's moment for The Body Shop.

Yeah they are. They remind me of Avon now. I have a friend on my facebook flogging the BS stuff. When they drop to facebook flogging it’s over.

The post is gathering likes though. The comments against it are overwhelming.

When has JKR ever bullied trans people?
