Have we discussed costa yet?

[RockAndRollerskate]

It’s not going down well on Twitter

It’s like we’re being advertised to to be trans

Is there any reason why I have to justify my purchasing decisions to you? FTR I haven't been in Greggs or Specsavers or my local computer shop either.

If you want to know why that won't be changing, RTFT.

I wonder how many people have deleted their apps (and told them why). Me for one.

My aunt died from BC. It was devastating. A colleague has recently had a mastectomy because they found she had BC.

It’s not a bloody fashion accessory. When do these companies ever run campaigns for BC awareness? This is like a sick joke.

What next? Jolly bulemic cartoon characters vomiting up rainbow joy?

It’s a goatee beard, isn’t it?

I believe they are called kissee lips or some such. Reminds me of those women you see with crazy lip implants. A dirty mind would only imagine why…

How surprising that the doctor:

• operating a commercial enterprise supplying puberty-blockers and cross-sex hormones to children;
• who was prosecuted for failing to comply with UK law while running a clinic engaging in that business;
• whose husband - qualified in an entirely different medical specialism - was struck off the medical register for failing to provide adequate care to a vulnerable young patient who then committed suicide, after he switched to working for his wife’s puberty-blocker and cross-sex hormone selling business;

would make public statements wholly denying the clinical risks to patients associated with other aspects of the commercial sector she operates in.

That tweet contains so many TRA campaign cliches it could almost be a spoof.

She is popping up all over the place with her opinions. PR…

Now Dr Martens are at it!! 😡

I won’t link to a petition in case it gets zapped but I saw they had used this image which effectively conveys what Costa are advertising.

That tweet contains so many TRA campaign cliches it could almost be a spoof.

I did double check it wasn't a parody account before sharing!

It is absolutely wicked to try to 'normalise' this, and it it very concerning it now seems to be being very deliberately pushed into the mainstream.

'We want everyone that interacts with us to experience the inclusive environment that we create, to encourage people to feel welcomed, free and unashamedly proud to be themselves. The mural, in its entirety, showcases and celebrates inclusivity.' (from the Mail article)

Except if you’re a lactating female with an infant to feed. You can fuck off.

Thread in AIBU now.

Time to let more sunlight in?

Well my group of walkers(10) meet and finish up in Costa .
Not any more.

Why are trans men nipples ok for public viewing and lady nipples not? I mean they are the same nipples, they haven’t changed their DNA. Is it now ok for a trans woman to show their nipples in public because, well technically they are still male nipples? Does this mean that the Starbucks mermaid can have her nipples back?

Just to be on the safe side borrow a baby to take with you. Explain that you are a man trying to establish breast feeding even though you aren’t actually lactating and skin to skin is just as important as the cocktail of banned drugs you are taking.

They've got form for throwing women out for such a thing. I wonder if as a man I will get the same treatment?

The blue hair is the giveaway.
It's part of the uniform.

No, you will be fine. Though I forgot to say it is always a good idea to take a friend to film you having a screaming entitled man meltdown with the barista just in case you need to go viral .Remember to use your very special important words and always listen out carefully in case they misgender you.

The good thing about when they make it in to AIBU is its a good chance to see how the wind is blowing outside of our little corner.

It's blowing in the right direction currently

Yes, @Boiledbeetle , I completely agree.

I'm on summer break currently, so actually have time for a sit down with a cuppa and Mumsnet. The vast majority of replies on the other thread are horrified about this.

Also, I finally managed to get my Kindle copy of your book! Bastard thing has been refusing to download/connect to the internet. DH managed to do something to it, and I had a 5 min window to download UTDOD, and the two missing Strike novels. Good times!

Oh dear Mr B and/or the editor are playing word games*

Mastectomies, also referred to as top surgery, are carried out on transgender men to remove breast tissue, but some campaigners fear that women could be encouraged to permanently change their bodies.

[ Its owned by a US company with the nice white teddybear and Sperm Producer Happy Holidays logos]

[ A spokesman said its ok but has an updated CV ]

[ look over there at the good works ]

[ You can buy good works too! ]

That is so sad.

No, they’re definitely huge pouty lips. I’ve seen some more of the artist’s work (Ashton Attz, a trans man): cartoon people also with same exaggerated mouths.

doesn't look quite so cute when you see the real, livid scars and the girl in physical pain bearing them does it?

Webberley is a genuinely frightening individual. In the 16th century she'd have gleefully reported women for suspicious behaviour, and enjoyed checking their bodies for proof of suckling devils. All with the glow of the self-righteous zealot.
