Bryson Gray On MAGA Rap, His Come Up & Modern Politics & Hypocrisy In Conservative Influencers
August 4, 2023Woke Megan Rapinoe LAUGHS After MISSING Wide Open Game Winning Shot In World Cup & Gets DESTROYED!
August 7, 2023A slew of ultra conservatives on social media have—once again—fired off against Harry’s Razors, but this week’s oddly timed outrage came after the “woke” company partnered with a transgender influencer for a campaign that launched over a year ago.
On June 28, 2022, Luke Wesley Pearson, a transgender man, posted a video on Instagram about his first Pride Month with facial hair.
“@harrys and their sibling brand @meetflamingo worked with @ohnilisle, an artist from the LGBTQ+ community, to design this year’s Face & Body Shave Set,” Pearson said. “And the best part? 100% of profits from the set are donated to @trevorproject. Feeling handsome and proud to be me every day of the year. #HarrysPartner.”
More than a year later, the post caught the eye of transphobic bigots on Twitter, the platform now known as X, and a wave of rightwing consumerist pitchforks ensued.
“Harry’s Razors partnered with a ‘trans man’ (female) to promote their razor set,” the account End Wokeness wrote Saturday in a string of posts that gained nearly 4.9 million views. “100% of the profits from this set go to the Trevor Project, which promotes gender surgeries for minors.”
The Trevor Project is a mental health resource center for LGBTQ+ youth, noting on its website that its mission is “to end suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & questioning young people.”
End Wokeness also dredged up a clip of Harry’s Razors’ CEO Andy Katz-Mayfield speaking about parental leave policies. (Katz-Mayfield first mentioned the policies in 2017 when he explained that all parents, regardless of their role, should be given equal time off.)
