US razor company criticised over collaboration with transgender influencer

A prominent American brand known for grooming products for men, is facing calls for a boycott after collaborating with a transgender influencer to endorse its latest line of razors.

Luke Wesley Pearson, a popular transgender digital creator, shared a video of the collaboration on Instagram with a caption that read, "Celebrating my first Pride with facial hair!" The video showed him and his partner using Harry's razors. This video sparked a debate among social media users, with many people comparing Harry's with Bud Light, the beer brand that was banned in March for collaborating with a trans woman for their campaign.

What has upset people even more is that the profits from Harry's collaboration will be going to the Trevor Project, an organization promoting and supporting gender transitioning. Several internet users expressed their displeasure and called for a boycott, claiming that the brand is too "woke".

However, amidst the criticism, there were also many who supported the video and defended Harry's decision to support the Trevor Project. They emphasized the organization's important role in preventing suicide among LGBTQ+ youth. One person tweeted, "If you're going to boycott Harry's Razors because of their donations to the Trevor Project, you're outright saying you would prefer LGBTQ+ youths kill themselves than get help. There is no argument here."

The Trevor Project is a mental health resource center for LGBTQ+ youth, dedicated to ending suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning young people.
