Don't forget, No Trannies Allowed

So, I saw something the other day and I can't get it out of my mind because it rubbed me the wrong way.

Phoenix's largest chain of second hand stores, Goodwill, has always been a huge factor in Hallowe'en costume-building. It's one of the only stores that actually encourages you to visit for that purpose. They know they carry some ridiculous items

Oh for fuck's sake.

Is there anyone you can contact about this? How disgusting.

[kittehkat]

Yeah. Kind of my feelings exactly. :\

Hmm. I'm not really sure who I ought to contact. Er... maybe my university's LGBTQ Coalition? Or the companies involved directly? I have no idea.

EDIT: I did actually email the Coalition just now, asking them for advice/help. Hopefully they can give direction. Thanks for the encouragement!

Sounds like a good place to start, and if they weren't already aware of it, they are now -- I'm sure they'll have something to say about it too.

I just hope it's 'cause somebody didn't think through it clearly or realize...

But still. :(

I think it might be quite sensible to write a letter, either to the Coalition, like you've already done, or to the higher-ups at Goodwill.

*facepalm* Why must certain parts of humanity suck so hard sometimes? -_-;;

What were they thinking? I bet it won't be long before they're flooded with angry emails.
