Calvin Klein uses bearded trans man to advertise sports bra


The advert featured Bappie Kortram, a bearded trans model from the Netherlands, who last year raised thousands of pounds online to remove his breasts.

The model was pictured kissing and fondling another model in the advert for the sports bra, which is sold for £28 in a “rainbow” of colours, in a nod to the Pride Flag.

It was advertised in a number of extra-large sizes, with “premium stretch fabric”, and a tagline that read “This is Love”.

A number of shoppers pledged to avoid Calvin Klein products, in a move that they compared to the boycott of Bud Light, the American beer brand, earlier this month.
"People who are different than me exist! Somebody send help!"

You realise how whiney that sounds, right?

I thought we were supposed to be the 'snowflakes' 🤭

What is the whiny part? That people may choose to boycott the product (the CK bras in this example) because they don't like the advert? Is that it?

That makes sense to me. If I was a woman needing a bra, I certainly wouldn't choose one that I think a company had designed for a man... would you?

None of that would make a woman choosing to go somewhere else to buy their bras a snowflake.

However since I don't really understand what it is that you're trying to say, perhaps you can explain further.
 
I don't agree with the definition you've developed so far. I don't see any any sensitivity to injustice. The injustice, above, cannot be that fat bearded men just can't find a bra that fits ... Part of the definition must be: arrogant people who think their feelings are more important than anyone else's and particularly a majority of views.


So I think I'm getting it now. People who are woke

  • Men wearing sports bras
  • Machete wielding maniacs
  • People who think Brexit was a bad idea
  • Everton fans who don't mind what clothes DCL wears
  • Joe Biden
  • Random Labour MP photoshopped in plane

I can defo see the pattern emerging now

What cup size are you?

Yes, that is exactly the whiny part.

I bought a pair of jeans recently, I have just realised that they use people to advertise them. I also realised that maybe women also wear jeans, and worse than this maybe somebody who is out there, right now, this second, wearing jeans while not defining themselves as a man or a woman. They have the temerity to wear the same clothes as me, drink the same drinks as me, and these companies then throw it in our faces by having people that are different to me modelling these clothes, or advertising the drinks.

OK, your post was about a bra and although I don't wear a bra I am not going to get all whiny (again, yes it is whiny) about a trans model in an advert for one. I am also positive that most women would not give two hoots. They will go to the shop and buy the best bra that fits them and not let bigoted views affect their choice.

Yes, it would. If your only reason for not buying a product is because of an advert and your hate for the people in the advert then that would make you a whiny, overly sensitive, snowflake (Unless it is Nivea and all you see is Kopites on the advert, that would make you bitter, not a snowflake).
