‘Pandering to a minority!’ What shoppers told High Street chain

My son is a boy and I want to go to the boys’ department to look for his clothes. Why is that not OK? I think this change is ridiculous. Debra Hemani What on earth is wrong with shopping for gender specific clothing? Majority of people have boys or girls and want to shop accordingly. Pandering to a minority. Bernice McGill How do I cancel my store membership reward card, I will not support a store that bows down to such PC claptrap. Frode Gummer I can’t believe JL has been dragged into this nonsense! I loved this retailer so much but I’ll avoid their clothing from now on. Madness! Louise Broady Never thought John Lewis would succumb to the crazy liberal PC rubbish of gender neutrality – trying to change biology! Susan Perkins

AND TWO CUSTOMERS WHO ARE BACKING THE CHANGE…

It was so refreshing to see dinosaurs and cool graphics for girls… I don’t even think what you’re doing is radical. The naysayers will say it’s ‘political correctness gone mad’ but really it’s just kids being kids. Kristen Lee We want [children] to get the message that it’s okay to wear what they want to wear, without fear of being told, ‘You can’t have that, that’s for boys,’ or, ‘That’s only for girls.’ Kat Day
