This Blogger Now Boycotts Costa - Please Join Me.

 The UK's largest coffee chain defended its use of the image to promote 'inclusivity and diversity' but was branded 'crass and irresponsible' and 'absolutely bonkers' - and there were calls for a boycott of the company on social media. The image, depicting an androgynous-looking character wearing long shorts with scars below each nipple, is taken from a mural designed by the chain for Brighton and Hove Pride last year. Use of the image on a mobile coffee van used at events around the country was condemned by feminist campaigners and people who had breasts removed due to cancer. Feminist writer Julie Bindel (inset), who is concerned about the impact of trans activism on 'vulnerable' girls and young women, said: 'I remember stories about when a woman was thrown out of a Costa shop (in 2018) because she was discreetly breastfeeding. Are we not allowed to breast feed but you are allowed to celebrate a woman having breasts removed for reasons of social contagion and vanity? It's absolutely bonkers.' Mail.
