To support businesses and organizations that are supportive of equal rights for all - the positive opposite of a boycott. A girlcott rewards good behavior whereas a boycott punishes bad behavior.
Let's girlcott the companies and organizations that have pulled out of North Carolina in support of trans-rights.

A boycott that is so short lived, that it really isn't a boycott at all. To abstain from buying or using, or dealing with for a very very short time frame

The opposite of a boycott; where rather than avoiding or excluding someone, it involves actively engaging with them (often in a compelling or coercive manner) with the intent of ensuring they become more like you. This approach could be used as a form of punishment or for other strategic purposes.
