One Million Moms a hypersensitive and perpetually aggrieved Christian activist group that doesnt have anywhere close to one million members has once again fallen flat on its face trying to wage a culture war against LGBT people.
Pink News reports that One Million Moms is encouraging its members to boycott H&M because one of its new ads allegedly features a transgender woman who will seduce Americas impressionable youth into believing in the fluidity of gender identities.
H&Ms newest Shes A Lady commercial includes what appears to be a man dressed as a woman in one segment, another woman wearing skimpy lingerie, and ends with two teenage girls kissing while underwater, the group thundered on its statement urging a boycott of H&M. H&M Marketing Team may have thought this type of advertising was politically correct, but not only is it disgusting and confusing for children, it is pushing the LBGT agenda.
As JoeMyGod points out, however, the transgender woman in question is actually a woman named Fatima Pinto, who is a championship Muay Thai fighter. As you can imagine, being a Muay Thai fighter requires you to be in exceptional shape, which explains why Pintos arms are absolutely ripped, as you can see in the ad below.
If youre worried that this mistake will embarrass One Million Moms into not being quite so easily outraged, dont worry after all, a JCPenny Christmas ad featuring Ellen DeGeneres and a bunch of elves was enough to trigger their delicate feelings.

It's like it's a mating call for the blowhard who proudly revels in their ignorance.

(50,562 posts)The woman in this spot they're freaking out about, Fatima Pinto, is "what appears to be a woman dressed as a woman."
The woman in this spot they're NOT freaking out about is Hari Nef - an openly transgender supermodel.
When I first watched the spot I was under the impression they were flipping out about the lady at 0:44 - who is Lauren Hutton, a legend in the modeling world. "OMG why did they dress up an old man as a woman? How dare they!" For the record, I hope I look that good at seventy!

Both ends of the political spectrum have their own ideas of what it is to be politically correct. To object to such an ad. To believe it shouldn't be shown because it is "offensive"; is a form of political correctness.
