I was happy with expansion from helping out with hunger in Greece to generally being against 'poverty' but this in Oxfam Deal (and countrywide) is a step too far, especially after three whole pages in the Guardian about 'trans' children in schools.
This is just a small part of their 'can't tell if I'm a boy a girl or a wardrobe' offer.

Did you go in the shop and argue your point with the management?

Yes. Apparently has come down from 'on high'.
One day we will look back on the way we are 'treating' disturbed teenagers the same way we now view leucotomy/lobotomy (for which someone got a Nobel prize FFS) to 'treat' mental illness.

I could not care less what sex a person feels they are or should be but promotions like this I find irritating. Oxfam obviously can not spell the word everyone but never mind the Captain has fallen into their trap and given the shop and the cause free publicity.

I think that's part of the problem,
Picking on one set of people , and not accepting ,everyone to there own.
