It recites the dogma or it gets the hose.
Shoppers who believed only women could get pregnant were seen as “bigoted” by Lush staff, a former employee claims.
The sales assistant, who asked not to be named, told The Telegraph she saw a customer of the cosmetics retailer become upset, after she asked staff to help her choose a gift for a “pregnant woman” and was directed towards products for “pregnant people”.
In other words after staff rudely “corrected” her by telling her not to say the filthy word “woman”.
She said staff were encouraged to wear badges with preferred pronouns; described as “trans allies” by managers, and could ask customers to leave if they felt they were expressing transphobic views. Some seemed “genuinely excited” at the prospect of confronting people they saw as transphobic, she said.
Yeah no shit. Of course they did. Hey kids, it’s Righteous Denunciation time!
The former staff member contacted The Telegraph following public criticism of a window display at a Lush in Chelmsford, Essex. It showed a tiger with pink, blue and white stripes, and the words “proud of my stripes”. The tiger also bears markings suggestive of “top surgery” to remove breasts.
The display attracted criticism from survivors of breast cancer, who accused the cosmetics retailer of “glorifying the removal of healthy breasts”.
Bucky Ringsell, the artist was painted the mural, said in an Instagram post she had designed the tiger to support and represent people who had undergone top surgery, “myself included”.
But of course it’s not “top surgery”; it’s mutilation.
Staff were encouraged to hand campaign materials to customers, including parents and children, although she had concerns that some of the subjects were “too adult” for children.
This included a 24-page booklet produced by Lush and TransActual called The Dream vs Reality: Creating a World Where Trans People are Safe. It stated that being trans was not a mental illness, called for the ban on puberty blockers to be lifted and backed legal gender self-identification.
Remember when women got this treatment?
No, neither do I.
