In another example of how perpetually bitter leftists insist on sucking every ounce of joy out of the holidays, a Grinch Christmas card that was being sold at a popular UK-based supermarket chain was pulled when an activist complained that it was offensive to transgender people.
The item was removed from shelves at Sainsbury’s stores after a noisy trans journalist named Sophie Molly got his knickers in a knot and posted a picture of the card featuring the beloved Dr. Seuss character with the caption “This Christmas, I’m identifying as a Grinch” to social media, claiming that it was “transphobic” and calling for the popular chain to “do better.”

“Transphobic Christmas card in my local Sainsbury’s (Berryden). Please do better Sainsbury’s,” Sophie Molly wrote in the Bluesky post shaming the chain.
According to LGBTQ+ website PinkNews: “The phrase ‘identifying as’ is an anti-trans dogwhistle and has long been used as a derogatory way of describing trans people and invalidating their gender, whereby it suggests a person’s gender being anything other than what fits neatly into the cis male/female binary is something people can ‘choose’.”
Molly told the outlet that he believes that the card “belittles the identity of trans and non-binary people”.
“Trans people don’t choose to identify as their gender – it’s part of who they are,” the trans activist told PinkNews. “Being trans is not a choice.
“Cis people saying they identify as something like a tomato, attack helicopter or a Grinch I feel invalidates the lived experience of trans people,” Molly nonsensically added, freely tossing about the “cis” slur used to smear normal people.
“It tells the world that they think it’s a choice to be trans, something you can switch in and out of, like playing dress up. This is not true,” he said. “Being trans or non-binary is not something you can switch off, in the same way a cis person can’t switch off being cis.”

The card, which was produced by Emotional Rescue in collaboration with Paper Salad, was removed from the stores, and all stock has been destroyed.
X users threw cold water on the flaming Yule log of trans outrage.
Anybody who complained about this card really is identifying themselves as a grinch.
Why have British people lost their sense of humour?
I don’t want to join you in your sad, humourless life, so let us just be normal and you can go and be grinch-like somewhere else, alone, sad… pic.twitter.com/yTP87UdlJu

What is transphobic about this…?

It’s a cartoon joke, not a manifesto. Corporate panic is a joke.

This isn’t about one card, it’s about a culture that surrenders truth, humor, and tradition for fear of being labeled “phobic.” At this rate, Christmas itself will soon be hate speech.

Many trans people look like The Grinch.
Ugly and hairy.
Is that why?— Truth Magnate (@TruthMagnate) December 18, 2025
What’s transphobic today? Today, a Christmas card saying “This Christmas, I’m identifying as a Grinch” is transphobic.
Is there anything more brittle than a troon’s sense of identity? The slightest mockery and the fantasy crashes to the ground like a 20 stone trucker in high… pic.twitter.com/TLYEeo6cR7— Leo Kearse – on YouTube & touring (@LeoKearse) December 18, 2025
I’m surprised Kier Starmer commie ass didn’t have the CEO arrested!

“At Sainsbury’s, we’re committed to being an inclusive retailer where people love to work and shop,” a spokesperson for the chain said in a statement, according to the Daily Mail. “We offer a wide selection of Christmas cards and our ranges vary each year, so there’s something for everyone. We value all customer feedback on this year’s designs.”
The story is a holiday season reminder that everyone is required to accommodate the overly sensitive feelings of a minuscule demographic suffering from what, until recent years, was widely accepted to be a mental condition.
