Irish phone provider slammed over transphobic advert<\/b><\/p>\n

The Irish branch of an international telecommunications provider has been accused of transphobia over parts of their new advertising .<\/p>\n

Three Ireland<\/a> received hundreds of messages on Twitter and Facebook after a user spotted the new poster in the Dublin neighborhood of Stoneybatter.<\/p>\n

‘Sorry Vodafone customers,’ the poster reads.<\/p>\n

‘It turned out he was a she after you’d used all your data.’<\/p>\n

Hi @ThreeCare<\/a>. Can someone explain this ad in Stoneybatter? Certainly insensitive, possibly transphobic, not okay. pic.twitter.com\/uun3oVDOha<\/a><\/p>\n

Users accused Three of considering trans<\/a> people to be ‘a cheap joke’ and described the tweet as ‘insensitive’ and ‘disgusting’, with a user going by the alias demolitionl0ver saying ‘if the “best bit” of something is a trans<\/a> person as a punchline, it shouldn’t be the best bit.’<\/p>\n

Three’s social media staff were quick to react on both Twitter and Facebook, sending out apologies and explanations of the ’s intention to users who commented or complained about the ad.<\/p>\n

‘The wider gives examples of when you miss the best bits of TV\/fulms while you’re streaming, because you’ve run out of data,’ Sheena, one of Three’s twitter team, said to various users.<\/p>\n

‘We hope this explains the concept and shows that no offence was intended at all.’<\/p>\n

But when users continued complaining about the advert, Three decided to completely remove the offensive poster from the .<\/p>\n

‘After reviewing the feedback we’ve decided this ad will be removed,’ the social media team told users from about 6pm local time.<\/p>\n

‘It wasn’t our attention to cause any offence.’<\/p>\n

At the time this goes live<\/a>, no official statement had been given.<\/p>\n
