I would think most people find binding breasts and tucking a penis of a child wrong.

Then for Christians you have the Satan aspect.

So Target gets a #1 song because they DID have a range of pride/trans wear, and also bomb threats because they REMOVED said range of pride/trans wear.

bet the marketing team are having a great week…

FifteenQuarter · 31/05/2023 09:48

From the British designer with Satanic items being sold as part of the line to be clear if you are unaware.

crumpet · 31/05/2023 09:48

(The #1 presumably objecting to the presence of the range)

The ESG scores are taking a battering if they don't defend enough and they have to balance that with having customers.

The vice president of brand marketing for Target who brought in the Satanic designer too - Carlos Saaverda is apparently also the treasurer of GLSE , who are pushing trans policy in schools, they sound like educate and celebrate over here and equivalent in Ireland.

Short interview with one of the rappers here. I think the success of this, and the Bud Light boycott just shows that pp ( and now this includes men ) have had enough!

Our country must be the least Christian in Europe. I lived in a very Christian country, this type of thing will not go down well in context with everything else.

Sorry but I don't see these rapture rapsters as allies.

My heart sinks whenever I see the word allies; it smacks of blindly following others - over a cliff like lemmings. Or trying to hang onto the coat tails of a group you are not part of as some sort of second class obsequious servant. I am no one’s ally and don’t want anyone to be mine. If you agree with me on something that is great and I hope you would support me when I speak up on that. I do not expect you to support me on other matters and I am sure I will be on the opposite side of the fence to you on many things.

I am not sure we are the least Christian country but there certainly seems to be a trend in the UK of thinking it is acceptable to denigrate Christian’s in a way which would be considered totally unacceptable of other faiths.

It is intersectional top trumps, if you are what they call a cis straight Christian man you are at the bottom with a low score card, it seems the men don't like that in America.

Target gave $2.1M to LGBTQ group that urges schools to hide kids’ gender transitions from parents

Target gave $2.1 million to LGBTQ advocacy group that has pressured school districts to not tell parents if their children identify as another gender.

Asking in good faith- how do you keep up with all the stores and products you have to boycott?

Wow breathtaking lack of understanding of the lived experience of mid-life women. I currently do all the shopping for two families (that whole pesky caring thing), I know other women who do the shopping for 4 families.

Keeping track of companies promoting inappropriate sexualisation of children / sterilisation of children / rampant misogyny is easy compared to the likes, dislikes, allergies and diets of from 6-16 people.

dimorphism · 31/05/2023 11:18

When I see 'allies' now I immediately assume whoever is using the word is trying to distract from the issue and trying to shame other people, usually women.

Inappropriate sexualisation of children is the issue.

However much a certain determined group of people try and shut parents up by trying to 'align' having safeguarding concerns with alt right views, it's going to fail.

Honestly if the choice is properly safeguarding children and being labelled 'right wing' vs giving free rein to those trying to abuse my children, I'm happy to be labelled 'right wing' thanks. If it means fewer children are harmed, I'll embrace it.

I see that once again women are asked to solve the problems of the world. Yeah, nah.

America has an enormous problem of forced teaming and identity politics.
And we are not a small number of voices who know the difference between sexuality and personality.
We are about 50%of the population.

I am not going to do any extra work because you want me to signal my allyship. What's happening now is a highly predictable consequence of not listening to women in the first place.

I wasn't asking women to solve this.

I said We (LGB and trans) people need to kick the fetishists and puppy players out of the Pride parades and put the closing bracket in the wrong place. That should have read We (LGB and trans people) need to kick the fetishists and puppy players out of the Pride parades. This is for LGB and trans people to sort out.

Do you remember Claire Fox having this linked conversation years ago?

I have a new found respect for those who excell at maths like KJK and Helen Joyce, as much as I respect those who change their mind when presented with new information.

I recall KK from Triggernomey managed to move his position after listening to KJK and HM. I think he should listen again and think again regards to his stance on James Lindsay. Do you remember the lesson Piers Morgan said he learned about gun control and the culture of other countries when on Triggernometry, I am sure KK gets that regards to those who don't understand Russias.

That is just my opinion though.

Do you make lists of companies that sell LGBT products or put up rainbow flags etc?

Merlin I've personally explained this to you several times across several threads, the last time in very small words and short sentences. So I have to assume that either it does not matter how many times someone explains this you just don't have the capacity to understand and process the language, or that you are not posting in good faith and hope by repeating this idiocy over and over and over again you're achieving something. I'm not sure what.

The tucking swimming costumes only came in adult sizes. Same with the TomboyX binders.

Putting kids im onesies that say "gay" (or "straight, or "bi", or any other sexuality) and "be kind" is bad enough.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 31/05/2023 11:41

Teenagers and even tall tweens often wear adult sizes, and I think these items were frequently grouped together in the "Pride" section with items for younger children.

I have some thoughts on that, nils.

Which is why I no longer respond.

That wouldn't be appropriate.

I would be annoyed if I was not into him, and him being linked to a group doing what is reported in the NYP ( if I believe him or not - I know KJK says she would link arms with him in jest and does not believe in him) to a group I was linked to, as is done to pups and NAZIs I would remove myself from him, in the UK it's a joke matter, not so much abroad.

Often as the USA catches a cold - the UK sneezes.

Unfortunately yes, it's training me to scroll on by which isn't how conversation/debate should work. But this is getting rather like the character in Ankh Morpork who randomly shouts 'millenium hand and shrimp' regardless of the conversation or what anyone else is saying.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 31/05/2023 12:00

I've had a look online. The binders and tuck-friendly swimwear is only sold in adult sizes. The video claiming otherwise misrepresented the situation, describing an adult swimsuit as being from the children's section. (It might have been found there, but that doesn't mean it was meant to be there.)

In a thread that was deleted a MNetter in the US went to her local store to have a look and what she found mirrored what I read online which was that there was a separate Pride Section in the stores with themed merchandise in it different from their usual offerings. In this, the adult and children's sections were not separated - so, for example, there was a row of t-shirts ranging from toddler to extra large adult sizes. The bathing costume found in the original video was, I think, found in this section.
