This trans journalist had a chance encounter with a supporter of WPUK. Was this one of you lot?

Really thoughtful article - division into two camps without engaging with each other is not the answer.

In Brazil you often have cake, fruit, fresh fruit juice, bread, cheese and coffee.

Congee for a Chinese breakfast... Or dim sum, which is technically more brunch.

French pastries, obvs

My DS has a lesbian mum. She got pregnant by doing that weird having sex with a man thing, but then she examined her genital preferences, and decided that actually sex with a man wasn’t for her after all. She gave it a bloody good go though.

English Breakfast tea is breakfast.

BeUpStanding · 11/09/2018 20:43

Marmite and avocado?! Shock

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 11/09/2018 20:41

Oh ive told my children we are going to have a big breakfast once a month

But each breakfast has to be from a different country

So full English (obvs)

American and mexican im quite happy with

Any other ideas

Not from you lang Hmm i get the feeling that in your mind all the countries in the world eat weetabix and hot milk with banana

Ereshkigal · 11/09/2018 20:40

Chocolate porridge is my sugar fix winter warmer. Just standard really creamy porridge with a bit of chocolate melted in.

BettyDuMonde · 11/09/2018 20:40

Marmite and avocado, yes. Peanut butter and banana sticks to the roof of one’s mouth.

It’s ^claggy&

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 11/09/2018 20:39

pot

So the odds are like eleventy billion to one

Im watching the invitation...i found it on the horror channel. Someone had better die horribly soon or im going to get bored

Cuntysnark · 11/09/2018 20:39

I’m firmly (boobed) in the weetabix is the work of the devil. Porridge-passable but no sugar. Virtuous breakfaster.

Ereshkigal · 11/09/2018 20:38

Can't stand banana chips in muesli.

Ereshkigal · 11/09/2018 20:38

I only like bananas neat.

BeUpStanding · 11/09/2018 20:37

Can I propose bananas and peanut butter as a combination that just about everyone can get behind? On toast, obviously

AngryAttackKittens · 11/09/2018 20:36

I Am Stickericus?

woman11017 · 11/09/2018 20:35

It was all of us. Smile

My DHs lesbian auntie has kids...

BettyDuMonde · 11/09/2018 20:29

I’ve got a lesbian MIL (of husband number 2, so ex MIL really).

Lesbians in their 60s and 70s with grown children do exist you know.

Have the youth of today remained totally oblivious to the yogurt pot and turkey baster method? Or the ‘pretend to be straight’ to get a baby method?

I suppose all this wilful. misunderstanding of sex gametes must make conception seem rather mysterious...

Potplant2 · 11/09/2018 20:28

On the ‘what’s the odds?’ question, remember that the TRAs think there are only about five of us on here and we’re the sum total of GC feminists for the country. Most people agree that men can become women! In their minds, at least

Potplant2 · 11/09/2018 20:25

I’ve been rewatching The West Wing recently. And pretending it’s real, to cheer myself up (though it can also be appallingly sexist at times)

LangCleg · 11/09/2018 20:23

Ok, I am now genuinely wetting my knickers laughing so I am going to watch something Very Serious And Important on TV.

LangCleg · 11/09/2018 20:22

I always find rocking up to mums and tots groups and starting conversations like this is the best ways to find out about schools I'm interested in. The mums there never find me really peculiar.

Grin Grin Grin

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 11/09/2018 20:22

I went away for a bit and now the conversation has moved on to boobs

You just cant leave a thread for a minute...honestly!!

jasmine

Part of the reason the thread has moved off track is because you haven't actually said anything or seem to want to discuss anything (apart from people's backgrounds which is weird) you wanted someone to admit to being some random GRA debater off the street which is a stretch because

A) what are the odds?

And B) no one fancies being doxxed or all over twitter and the subject of this journalists patronising gubbins

So what do you wanna talk about (apart from individual posters parentage)

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 20:20

I always find rocking up to mums and tots groups and starting conversations like this is the best ways to find out about schools I'm interested in. The mums there never find me really peculiar. Though there was that thing last week when they changed the date and venue and didn't tell me...

AngryAttackKittens · 11/09/2018 20:18

I was ambivalent too at their age, Floral, though I've grown accustomed to the massive norkage as I've grown up.

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 20:16

I think my girls would probably be the first in line to pass me some extra front bumper. They really don't like them much, for differing reasons.
