Dr Martens Queer Joy

[Potaytoe5]

Sorry if there's already a thread about it, I couldn't find it!
Dr Martens boots showing a trans man with scars from mactectomy.
Apparently not mass produced, but one off. But why...

Interestingly, on fb comments are rather supportive so far.

Why such a feminine face though and a ‘girls’ hairdo? And those weird wing like flappy arms. Hate this visual style.

And Costa. It's a big industry and corporations all funnel up to the same point where a few people own them all under different names.

Cosmetic surgery is a huge business as is the drug market to deal with its lifelong effects so of course corporations are all for it. It makes their shareholders money in various ways.

I gather that Doc Martens are now made in China and it's in no sense an ethical or counterculture brand.

I hadn't grasped before this week's furore that Costa now belongs to Coca Cola, so that's another reason to avoid it, along with the shite coffee and the mindless use of a transman with mastectomy scars image.

Yes, along with Costa rather grim. My DD can forget me subsidising her next docs.

I boycotted them awhile back. Any of these companies that push an evil agenda will not be receiving money from me.

You can buy original Docs (Solovair) in the UK. Better quality and no agenda aside from being good on your feet.

Ugly ugly artwork.

I just don’t understand why so many companies are desperate to associate serious unnecessary- and often later regretted - surgery with joy. Especially to vulnerable teens who may be looking for this elusive ‘joy’.

Money. Bullies ok boards. Trying to make stonewall targets/points.

Exactly this. WTF are they thinking? It's all so bloody sinister.

Evil Agenda really it’s not isis or Putins campaign of war in Ukraine or any other threat to humanity is it ? It’s just your opinion hardly evil .

hideous art style. They’re getting no more of my money (haven’t since they moved production out of uk, anyway)

They are pushing the cutesy fantasy that humans can change sex and that radical surgery and lifelong medication is somehow attractive and fun! A generation of youth being egged on to damage their bodies and minds and shorten their life. Yes this is evil. Because at the back of all this is money.

Sterilizing children and pushing the idea that girls distressed by their breasts can just cut them off?

You don’t think that’s evil?

In your opinion only.
Evil is the Taliban in Afghanistan removing and denying woman’s rights and freedom of education and freedom.
and the freedom to have a different point of view.

Who’s just cutting off their breasts ? Have you seen this for yourself ?
or are you just reporting what you think rather than what has actually happened ?

You're denying that double mastectomies are happening?

🤢

What do you think that image represents with its stitch lines where the breasts have been removed?

Google Chloe Cole. She (like a lot of other teenage girls in the US) had a double mastectomy at 15 because she wanted to be a boy.

Could also Google dr Sidhbh Gallagher. She advertises for her “test yeeting” practice on tiktok, targeting teen girls. Some cross continents to get botched by the Irish Butcher.

“Teet yeeting” that should be, don’t blame auto correct for refusing that one.

Arguing that boobs are not being lobbed off on a thread with artwork portraying yeeted teets. 😂

Let's not forget this vile specimen. https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/mandel-decision-upheld-against-surgeons-social-media-posts-on-transgender-top-surgery

There may well be but it’s their body and not yours.
