It's definitely a bad business decision for Costa to go all in on such a divisive topic.

Yeah short term it gives them attention from people that might not normally go there, but long term you're going to lose those people, plus losing people for whatever stance that you end up taking.

Imo I see it as a very different situation to Bud Light who just hired a Transperson to advertise their product.

James Esses, a co-founder of Thoughtful Therapists, a group of counsellors and
psychologists concerned with impact of gender ideology on young people, addressed Costa
directly on Twitter: “Dear @CostaCoffee, Could you kindly explain why you are glorifying
irreversible surgery performed on healthy breasts of women for a mental health
condition?”

Glorifying the misappropriation of a surgery intended to help women with breast cancer is quite a look.

Anyone who would willingly drink a Costa coffee is a sociopath anyway, they're ****ing disgusting.

Their breakfast rolls are pretty good though...

Transphobes are easily the most snowflakey people in society these days, it’s actually hilarious how easily triggered they are into meltdowns, if a company using a trans person, or a drawing which depicts a trans person can create this much hysteria and misery amongst them, it really highlights two things 1. They just outright hate the existence of trans people in society and 2. They’re overly emotional and invested in something that holds no relevance to their own lives.

It’s sad, I’m starting to feel sorry for them

The idea that the surgical removal of healthy teenagers body parts "holds no relevance to people's lives" is a mindset that could only come from someone who doesn't have and doesn't plan to have children. Of course it holds relevance.

The whole thing is arse-backwards. The (lie) message a few years back was that people could surgically transition and the procedures were so great and advanced that people could look just how they want. Then they had to admit that no, actually, it (obviously) leaves behind extensive scarring (top) and looks nothing like real genitalia + causes extensive life long medical issues (bottom).

So now the aim isn't to discourage extreme body-altering surgery.... it's to normalise the scarring and medical complications caused by surgery.

It's absolutely ****ed.

The truth is it holds absolutely no relevance to you, which is why you don't care what happens to many of the people who go through with it.

The fact that this person had to go through artificial insemination at just 22 shows how damaging transition hormones are to human fertility.

Or they didn't want sex with a man?

Artificial insemination is on of the least invasive fertility treatments and is often used by people who either a don't have a partner and just visit a sperm bank, or use donor sperm for any other reason.

It doesn't usually involve any drugs regime and s just timed to be done at ovulation
