Repeatedly misgendering the model, OMM wrote that the new ad spot is glamorizing the transgender lifestyle choice. The post also said viewers are outraged because the model is flipping her long hair.In truth, Dove is pushing an agenda of sexual confusion instead of just selling hair care products, OMM said, calling the model perverted and an abomination.Yes, we are instructed to love one another, the post concluded, but we also must hold others accountable and speak out against sin.The group even has a petition on their website to denounce the ad. They claim that over 13,000 people have signed it so far.I find Dove extremely irresponsible in financially supporting and pushing an unhealthy lifestyle of gender dysphoria, the petition states. Dove is offending so many consumers to appease a small percentage of trans customers. To satisfy a few customers, Dove is pushing most of its conservative customers to shop with competitors. Therefore, I will not purchase any Dove products until your company chooses to remain neutral in the culture war.Trans advocate Leigh Turner called it demoralizing to see yet another boycott campaign build on the idea that people like us shouldnt even appear in a 6-second ad. Turner told Trans Vitae, that Dove is not perfect, but they keep coming back with genuine representation instead of retreating.OMM is an offshoot of the anti-LGBTQ+ American Family Association.
