This is genuinely as dull as the news can get

The Body Shop isn’t the shop it was. It’s lost it’s branding.

Hahahaha

No they didn’t They sent a pathetic whiney tweet shilling for men’s rights because they think pretending they don’t know only women menstruate will get them woke cookies TheBodyShop have tweeted before that menstruation is a womens issue so maybe they’re the transphobic shits🤷🏼‍♀️

'Body Shop loses shit loads of customers after attempting to belittle a survivor of domestic abuse who says women are real.'

I have just unfollowed you. I know that won’t hurt you, but I cannot follow a paper which is so anti-women. Not only the BS article, but to carry an article which compares jk_rowling to white supremacy? You’ve lost the journalistic plot and can no longer be taken seriously.

Body Shop employee running social media accounts alienates many female customers? Women menstruate Its not transphobic to state this fact The Independent may not recover from such biased ill-informed reporting. Its a bit of a shame tbh

There’s my business gone.

Calls out? Are you a newspaper or Heat magazine? Body Shop didn’t call out JKR it tweeted an ignorant, antagonistic and belittling tweet to a well thought out, personal and level headed essay in which many vulnerable groups were spoken about with compassion and empathy

The Body Shop condones abuse to a DV women who has also received abuse like this, all because age happens to believe in biology & safeguarding children

I hope JK Rowling writes a book about transgenders under a psuedonym as soon as possible and that it becomes an international best seller too.

By calls out you mean insults, belittles & trivialises sexual assault. Many women have had similar experiences & naturally mistrust men. They are not shrill bigots, they deserve to be listened to, not patronized, ridiculed & demonised for wanting a safe space to get changed.

Is menstruating now a transphobic act? Or is talking about menstruating transphobic? Or is it an issue that men have with women in general?

It's not transphobic if it's fact

JK Rowling is correct. IStandWithJKR

They're hypocrites. They are fine with endorsing other people saying 'women' when talking about menstruation, but not when JK Rowling does.

yeah wondered how long it would take for shit rag to turn up and of course when you mean called you mean sold out. Which is something they won't be experiencing for quite some time.

standwithjkrowling

Real women everywhere, do your duty.

'Calls out'

Body Shop, or 'BS' for short.

You know you aren't actually a newspaper anymore, right?

Good on them 🙃

You've taken care to hedge your bets with the inverted commas, then... Not really so sure of your stance, huh?

The Body Shop tells most of its customers they're shit There you go That's fixed it

And hey guess what, it turns out you are just as misogynist, abusive and exploitative a commercial entity as the BS. Not buying your paper. Not clicking your links and not feeding your advertisers. Not buying their products.

Her essay tonight shows you what real journalism looks like

'Calls out' ? Wow

I think JK Rowling should have found better words to come out about her domestic abuse history. I thought she wrote books.

Bloody hell Independent! She wasn't called out. Having exposed herself as a victim of serious DV she was told by TheBodyShop it was 'Bloody Natural'. Along w the pamphlet there was clear intimation to shut up, change yr views or else. Women will not be silenced.

As if the High Street wasn't in enough trouble, the Body Shop decides to alienate female customers. Is this their Ratner moment?

No, it didn't.

I don’t like this world anymore

It's the ability to parse a story like this that makes you such a successful newspaper.

Except it wasn’t transphobic, how about you actually report the story without one sided headlines? IStandWithJKRowling

And yet the BS sell badges that name and ask *men* to support menstruation issues, but can't say *women* menstruate?

More biased headlines from the Independent.

It didn't, I'm not clicking the link, you're embarrassing. IStandWithJKRowling

No. It told her to educate herself while having a bath to calm down.

No it didn't!

Has the world gone mad?!

We see you,

No it didn’t, you imbeciles.

Oh ffs. That is all IStandWithJKR

Tell the Body shop to F.O.

Daniel Radcliffe criticises JK Rowling trans tweetsDaniel Radcliffe hopes JK Rowling trans tweets don't 'taint' Harry Potter 'Transgender women are women,' the actor wrote, 'any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people' too late Why is how someone else wants to live their life of any business to me or anyone else? How they want to live their live is up to them and it's only those who are intolerant who feel their opinion matters and should be heard and agreed with. I saw a trans woman once, bigger apple than me. Spoke like my old maths teacher, Mr. Davis. Hands the size of bin lids. I wouldn’t argue with Ms. Davis now to be fair

Daniel Radcliffe Apologises For The 'Pain' Caused By JK Rowling's TweetsRowling was accused of transphobia after a series of tweets this weekend. They’re in pain because they’re trying to acquire something they can’t ever fully acquire. Not all trans men & women want to be classified as men / women because they’re not ashamed of where they came from. What is wrong or shameful in being classified as trans men or trans women Lovely

As a ‘terrified lesbian’, I find JK Rowling’s tweets a lot more worrying than trans rightsWhat should matter to the Harry Potter author, and you, are the scores of children this has hurt and the two in five trans adults who are left to navigate threats in the street Terrified lesbian would be a great wrestler's name 😃😍 Is a 'terrified lesbian' one of those new genders? Well, of course, what's worrying about trans rights?
