Tinsel I just had a look at the more recent posts.

There seems to be a good mix of voices in there. You don't seem harsh - but if someone is unsure how much reality they want to let in or how much change they can face, just being confronted with any of the thread could put them off. It's terrifying to face up to.

Don't second guess yourself. You are doing something good and important.

Does it actually taste nice? I can't remember

I can confirm that southern and coke is still quite drinkable

Indie boys all seem to come to nightclubs in their best jumpers now, it looks very uncomfortable

Pleasing to see all the girls dancing their hearts out in comfy DM’s. I do feel about 177 now though

TinselAngel

If you're in any doubt, just look at the last two posts on the thread. Your advice is correct. And as cadanita says he robbed her of 28 years of her life. 28 years.

You are giving these women the tools and the eyes to recognise what's happening to them. And the confidence to do something about it.

If you're unsure, occasionally temper it with well that's my story, all that's happened to me, but that's my personal opinion. But only if you think it's making them stop listening.

People aren't silly. They will know you're telling the truth. And your posts always have the ring of authenticity.

And you can say how you feel on the thread. You could say it might sound harsh, but you wish someone had said it to you.

But don't stop saying it.

I'll take a look

TinselAngel · 09/04/2019 21:57

Thanks Kat

  • -downs pint. Wipes mouth-*

If anyone wants to tell me I'm being realistic and not harsh, do feel free!

There's no point giving people false hope, is there?

KatvonHostileExtremist · 09/04/2019 21:51

tinsel your pints on me.

TinselAngel · 09/04/2019 21:49

On the trans widows thread, that is.

TinselAngel · 09/04/2019 21:39

Can I have a large one? I'm having a bit of a crisis that my advice to people has got too harsh and is scaring them off.

DiscontentedWoman · 09/04/2019 20:50

Large tanqueray and tonic please.
Jane Clare Jones' twitter ban has tipped me into unlurking (old user from the days of Morning Paper).
I have really had enough of all this shit!

Does it actually taste nice? I can't remember

It does Grin I have one when I want to be reminded of my local nightclub in the 90s when I sneaked in underage...

AlunWynsKnee · 05/04/2019 21:58

I suspect you'll find your form for Japan. I think we might struggle if we end up with NZ in the semis :(
My dad and I laughed down the phone at each other for a solid ten minutes before words were found.
Anyway. I'm monopolising you. I shall nurse my pint quietly grinning to myself.

I want a Labrador hug!

PartridgeInAFairTree · 05/04/2019 21:26

Ohhh today's gone from great to better. My team worked from the pub today and now I've stumbled over you lot. Literally of course. Cheers 🍷

uniquehornsonly · 05/04/2019 21:13

Damn, that didn't work.

If I mix 🍺 and ☘️ can I call it Guinness?

uniquehornsonly · 05/04/2019 21:10



Somerville · 05/04/2019 21:03

Thanks for more Guinness!

Somerville · 05/04/2019 20:56

Cok zero Grin

Dunno what’s gone wrong beyond injuries Alun or if there will be time before Japan to sort it.
We watched the match with loads of Welsh friends and a lone English masochist - one of the best nights of the year so far despite the result.

uniquehornsonly · 05/04/2019 20:53

Thanks for the gin, Datun.

Somerville I'm in awe on your restraint on Twitter Grin And the whole genderfree shebang really. GRMA. Can I buy you a Guinness?

ZebrasAreBras · 05/04/2019 20:53

My dog would make an adorable pub dog. She's a Lab, and so lovely and friendly, and calm. She was a rescue dog, an ex breeding Lab, probably treated horribly, but she just loves all people.

Out for loan for anyone that needs a huge Labrador hug. (But you can't keep her Grin )

Cheers CisWombling Wine

CisWomblingGenderFree · 05/04/2019 20:48

This rounds on me, I’ve self IDd as a very rich

I’m going to have a Brew and sit in the corner.

ZebrasAreBras · 05/04/2019 20:47

Evening all Wine

Thought I'd look in. Years ago I used to drink in the feminist pub, which I think this thread originated from?

Those were the days - only saddo MRAs to deal with, rather than TRAs with the whole woke-brigade behind them Hmm

I've got Rumour the cat here with me. Cheers Smile

GPismyboss · 05/04/2019 20:43

Oh, a cat! Fluffy. Rumour sidetracked me and I’m still not changed.

GoodGravy · 05/04/2019 20:41

Err, that would be coke, not cok 😊

GoodGravy · 05/04/2019 20:39

I just tried the new Peach flavour Coke Zero. It tastes like accheap peach shower gel that was aimed at the Pre-teen market. Do Not Bother.
I'd love a Beefeater martini, rocks and a twist. Sadly it is a 'low' day today, hence the cok zero.
