Topshop has abolished gender-specific changing rooms from its stores after a number of customer complaints branded the practice as "dated and dangerous." 

The news comes after one frustrated customers took to Twitter claiming they prohibited from using their preferred dressing room in a one of the retailer's Manchester branches.

Travis, who identifies as trans feminine and whose preferred pronouns are "they" and "them" wrote:“Hey @Topshop just experienced transphobia in your Manchester store. Not letting me use the changing room I decide is sh*t, sort it out.”

However, further confusion when one users responded with a screenshot of an email from Topshop (dated in July of this year) stating that its policy had already been changed – meaning Travis should never have been refused entry to the female changing facility. 

Clearly unsettled by the incident, Travis continued to vent their frustration is a series of tweets

Travis' experience sparked mixed reaction from Twitter users, with some offering messages of support while others questioned the need for such a change. 

Speaking to The Daily Mail, a spokesperson for the fashion retailer has since confirmed that “All Topshop and Topman customers are free to use any of the fitting rooms located within our stores.”

Topshop is not the first fashion retailer to be condemned for its 'transphobic' changing rooms policies, with Urban Outfitters having previously come under fire for similar practices.

Marie was reported missing by her husband on October 22, 1984 after she failed to return after she left their house at Clintstown, Jenkinstown, Kilkenny on the evening of the October 21.

Statements from a number of witnesses put the car she was travelling in (Renault Estate Registration number 35-HIP) abandoned in Newpark at approximately 11.00pm on the October 21.

Marie's body was found in a ditch two months later after it was discovered by a male out walking on the Bleach Road, Kilkenny.

No arrests have ever been made  for the murder of Marie Tierney.

Gardaí  are appealing to people who have not yet made themselves known to Gardaí or who, for whatever reason, were unable to make themselves available to Gardaí at the material time.

Anyone with information is asked to contact An Garda Siochana in Kilkenny on 0567775000 or on the Garda Confidential Line 1800666111.

In a rather unorthodox new method aimed at combating the issue of revenge porn, Facebook has asked it's Australian users to upload their own explicit photographs.

And while this might sound dodgy AF – it actually makes a lot of sense.

The technology has been designed for people who may be concerned that an ex-partner might post their intimate images to Facebook, Instagram or Messenger after the relationship has ended. 

According to The Guardian, it works by converting the privately uploaded images into a “digital fingerprint,” which can then be used to block any attempt to re-upload the same photograph.

The system has been launched in partnership with an Australian government agency headed up by the e-safety commissioner, Julia Inman Grant.

Speaking to ABC, she said: “We see many scenarios where maybe photos or videos were taken consensually at one point, but there was not any sort of consent to send the images or videos more broadly.”

The pilot scheme, which is currently being rolled out on a trail basis, will see users complete an online form on the e-safety commissioner's website.

After the concern has been formally submitted, Facebook will be notified and a community operations analyst will put measures in place to prevent any re-appearance of the image. 

Facebook will then store these images for a short period of time before deleting them to ensure it is enforcing the policy correctly.

Australia is one of four countries participating in this test trial, however a spokeswoman for the social media company said it plans to explore additional partners and countries.

Missguided is the latest online retailer to stop the practice of editing out models' stretch marks and cellulite, and the internet is all about it.

For years now, shoppers have become accustomed to the perfectly airbrushed and seemingly 'flawless' models splashed across the pages of every fashion mag and online store – and while deep down we're all aware of the wonders of photoshop, it can be hard to remember this when we're supplied with a endless stream of images showing the 'perfect' body.

It's an industry norm that few retailers have been brave enough to step way from – until now.

Following in the footsteps of ASOS, Missguided has stopped erasing its models' stretch marks, and has instead opted for much more natural look.

And while it's pretty shocking that it's taken this long for brands to realise that consumers would much rather see models in all their natural glory – it's definitely a step in the right direction.

The online retailer quietly began using the un-altered images this year in a move that has earned it a huge amount of praise.

Here's hoping other brands follow suit.

December is officially upon us, and on these cold, dark evenings all we want to do is lounge around in our onesies clutching a glass of vino.

Now there's a seriously festive way to enjoy that evening tipple that doesn't involve a reindeer jumper.

The Santa's Flask stocking is the perfect combination of a Christmas decoration and a reminder of your penchant for pinot. 

 

A photo posted by SantasFlask (@santasflask) on

Like a typical stocking, Santa’s Flask can be hung from the mantle piece for easy access from the couch to your favourite alcoholic beverage. 

It's also portable, so it's perfect for all those upcoming Christmas parties.  

While drinking out of a sock-shaped plastic bag may not be the classiest of methods, it's definitely festive. 

The flask can hold up to three bottles of wine so getting jolly on Christmas eve will be no problem.

Just make sure you leave a glass out for Santa.

Yesterday, it came to light that former Gossip Girl actor Ed Westwick was accused of rape and sexual assault by actress Kristina Cohen. 

Kristina penned a lengthy Facebook post, in which she claims that she was 'held down' and raped by Westwick at his residence three years ago. 

Ed has since responded, claiming that the incident never happened, and that he has never met Kristina Cohen. 

Now, Ed's long term girlfriend Jessica Serfaty has given her two cents on the matter. 

Judging by her responses online, the model is standing by her boyfriend.

Taking to Twitter, the America's Next Top Model contestant wrote: 

'I know you, I know the truth. Such sadness in my heart.' 

'I love your kind gentle soul. Bless.'

Jessica's tweet was met with criticism from many. 

'Wow, women like you sadden me, people like you are the reason why victims never speak up,' wrote one 

However, others rushed to defend Westwick in the comments section of her tweet. 

'You know the truth based on some wannabe actress's FACEBOOK post?' tweeted one, in response to someone defending Cohen.

'Please have some common sense here. She wanted her 15 minutes.'

Jessica also posted to Instagram, selecting an image of some bold graffiti spelling out the word 'Bullshit.'

'Nah, thanks mate. l ain’t havin' any of that,' she captioned the post.
