[u/The_Kyojuro_Rengoku → u/MWoodley18]

Right? Absolutely perfect 😩💖

[u/forgottenmenot]

Love the suspenders too

[u/The_Kyojuro_Rengoku → u/forgottenmenot]

Dude knows fashion 💅🌈

[u/TowerReversed → u/The_Kyojuro_Rengoku]

premium Dudes Rock material 💯

[u/Tutes013 → u/forgottenmenot]

Powerful combination.

The well groomed beard, the suspenders and then that shirt. Amazing

[u/FamilyRedShirt → u/forgottenmenot]

I remember when Mork made those suspenders hot. I think they weren't yet a political statement?

Nanoo nanoo.

I need this shirt. My wife is a proud trans woman. She went into an Ace hardware store today to buy some parts for a job she us working on. She was denied service. Just for existing. She asked him if they had the part she needed and he said "if I did, I wouldn't tell you". She complained to the manager who did not appear to care in the slightest. I'm absolutely furious and not sure what to do about it. I live in a very liberal city in a blue state and this shit still happens. She literally carries a baton and pepper spray with her bc she has been threatened so many times. 🤬🤬🤬

[u/VoilaLeDuc → u/WifeofBath1984]

I believe most, if not all, Ace Hardware stores are franchised out. I wonder if contacting their corporate offices would do anything.

If you are not satisfied with your store's resolution, please submit the below form to contact the Ace Care Center or call 1-888-827-4223.

[u/always_unplugged → u/VoilaLeDuc]

Absolutely yes! Isn't their whole thing that they're helpful? Doesn't sound like they were living up to their slogan to me, and I have a feeling corporate would have something to say about that.

[u/hobskhan → u/always_unplugged]

🎶 Ace is the place with the hateful hardware folks! 🎶

[u/special-k-flo → u/VoilaLeDuc]

Service-so-fucking-unacceptable! .com!! 🤬

[u/kitty_perrier → u/WifeofBath1984]

This hurts my heart so much. I am really sorry that you both have to deal with this. I hope we do better as people for your wife 🖤

[u/dephress → u/WifeofBath1984]

Contact their corporate office and complain. Tell everyone you know so they can boycott that location. That is some bullshit.

[u/AudioBob24 → u/WifeofBath1984]

Gonna need to change their name of TERF hardware after that bullshit. Sorry for what your wife went through. Everyone always thinks liberal states are some perfect city on a hill, but they’re full of deeply uneducated people tricked into thinking a minority will upend their lives more than an oligarch.

[u/WrongfullyIncarnated → u/WifeofBath1984]

Fuck that, fuck them, take names call coporate.

[u/GlitterDoomsday → u/WifeofBath1984]

Honestly I would let your friends know what happened; if your city is liberal don't just contact corporate but also let the locals talk with their wallets.

[u/crazedconundrum → u/WifeofBath1984]

So sorry she suffered such rude bullshit. We are eating Thanksgiving with my sister in Tennessee and my beautiful Trans daughter pointed out she will be a felony while we are there.

[u/NegotiationSea7008 → u/WifeofBath1984]

What a disgusting thing to do. I’m so sorry she has to put up with such ignorance and cruelty and that you have to see your wife treated like that.

[u/FooFighter0234 → u/WifeofBath1984]

Report them

[u/Scarlaymama0721]

I want this shirt!

[u/BoyDharma40 → u/Scarlaymama0721]

Ditto, just checked, and it's on Amazon.

Edit: it is also available on Etsy as well

[u/GlitterBlood773 → u/BoyDharma40]

Peep Etsy if you prefer their platform. I’m sure it’s there too.

Edit: clarified my thought. You’re right, find specific sellers for things you’re interested in. The image of handmade, not-problematic is too strong in my mind.

[u/mommytobee_ → u/GlitterBlood773]

Etsy does not have "labor practices", it's a marketplace. Anyone can list anything there and every single shop is completely different.

Unfortunately, Etsy has been overrun with poor quality items from Amazon, Taobao, Aliexpress, etc being resold at a markup. Being on Etsy does not automatically make anything more ethical, handmade, etc. Do your research into the specific seller you're interested in.

[u/always_unplugged → u/mommytobee_]

Exactly; Etsy is no better anymore. There are still plenty of small handmade/creative sellers, but there are also people who dropship and on-demand print just like if you ordered from somewhere like Redbubble. Especially with a tee shirt like this (which is 100% the latter case), there is NO advantage to Etsy.

[u/mommytobee_ → u/always_unplugged]

A ton of the Pride merch on Etsy is clearly dropshipped or otherwise not handmade. It's very frustrating.

Honestly, I would go as far as saying it's worse to buy these types of items on Etsy because doing so tells the algorithms, sellers, and Etsy itself that these are profitable items people want on their platform. I buy from Etsy frequently, but only items that are clearly handmade and being made by the seller. (For example, the seller has social media with WIPs that line up with products actually in the shop.)

[u/OpinionatedNonsense → u/mommytobee_]

Most of the time when I find something nice on Etsy, I can just Google image search a screenshot of the product to find it on SheIn or AliExpress.

I wish there was a way to report these sellers lying about their "handmade" crap.

[u/mommytobee_ → u/OpinionatedNonsense]

I wish Etsy cared. It sucks seeing what the platform has become.

Sometimes I report counterfeit goods to the real owners, but beyond that (when it applies) there's not really much you can do. Go Imagine is trying to basically be a better Etsy, but I haven't used it yet so I don't know how it works ad a replacement.

[u/BoyDharma40 → u/GlitterBlood773]

Thanks, I'd much prefer going there.

[u/GlitterBlood773 → u/BoyDharma40]

You’re welcome. Glad it wasn’t an offensive comment. Thought it aligns better with the coven :)

[u/BoyDharma40 → u/GlitterBlood773]

Thanks after the post I second-guessed it.

[u/GlitterBlood773 → u/BoyDharma40]

I’m a fan of the edit feature because that happens to me too.

[u/No-Tackle-6112 → u/GlitterBlood773]

It’s probably the exact same product made from the exact same labour just with a mark-up

[u/Scarlaymama0721 → u/BoyDharma40]

Thank you!

[u/EricaOdd]

Hell yeah!

[u/The_Kyojuro_Rengoku → u/EricaOdd]

🤘

[u/XVXANIMALIBXVX]

I couldn’t pull off the shirt. I just wanna hang out with this friend while they wear it.

[u/The_Kyojuro_Rengoku → u/XVXANIMALIBXVX]

I think you could pull it off. And hang out with your friends while they wear theirs too and you all match like twinsies 😌🙏

[u/NegotiationSea7008 → u/The_Kyojuro_Rengoku]

I want to pull off the shirt literally and hang with this lovely man.

[u/Jackson_Rhodes_42]

This is amazing. Way to turn a tired old joke right on its head, and show solidarity while your at it!

[u/Savage-Nat]

Finally, a funny "I identify as" joke. Love the shit of this shirt.

[u/SirRipOliver]

Now this is the kind of rainbow biker I can get behind!

[u/avoidance_behavior]

this is spectacular.

[u/SqornshellousZem]

Who is this man and can I hug him?

[u/International-Year91]

Joke on you I already identify as a problem

[u/ObamaDramaLlama → u/International-Year91]

My gender is menace

[u/clandahlina_redux]

I truly wish somewhere this man knows he kindled hope today. 💖

[u/magicsqueezle]

I wanna hug this guy so much!

[u/Cat_Toe_Beans_]

Amazing shirt and message

[u/Ishmael75]

Hell yea! I love that shirt

[u/AudioBob24]

Sweet Christmas I found the shirt all my friends and I can rock for pride!

Everyone talking about the shirt, but I want that hat.
