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.

Well this has all gotten a bit creepy and invasive. I wonder if it's tissues time.

Wilhemenawonka · 11/09/2018 20:15

Confession time...
My name is wilhamena and i don't like weetabix at all.
Also my perfect recall of long conversations in public with complete strangers is never as good as the writers. Much like most peoples.

I do however still like chocolate and peanut butter porridge and know/have known many inclusive Christians from all denominations. Of all ages

Or mine Floral

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 20:15

Yes. It's becoming more unfocused and pointless by the second, really.

LangCleg · 11/09/2018 20:14

Not the boob talk, I hasten to add.

Potplant2 · 11/09/2018 20:13

You can have some of my norkage, Flora, I’ve got plenty spare

LangCleg · 11/09/2018 20:13

I think we have reached the flailing stage now?

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 20:11

I am the rare small boobed woman in my family. The rest of the female line is endowed with much norkage.

Melanippe · 11/09/2018 20:10

I dream of having a 34C bra size. That's a nice respectable size to have. I feel that 34C bewbs might be well behaved at parties. Mine are fucking enormous and have their own ideas about where they wish to be at any given moment. They're like a bewb version of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Fucking things.

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 20:09

The breasts are perky, not the women I have slept with. Though they may be, I don't know.

Potplant2 that's really reassuring thanks. Considering sending DC to a Church of England school but concerned about potential homophobia among staff and other parents.
Times have clearly changed since I used to go to church.

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 20:08

I don't know if I can claim the saggy cred anymore. I mean, I am fairly middle aged now, and I have slept with a decent number of women, but they are actually quite perky considering.

Potplant2 · 11/09/2018 20:08

Oh and my real name is Maria, bra size 34H and I live in Carlisle with my lesbian lover, three lizards and a goldfish. This may or may not be true.

Potplant2 · 11/09/2018 20:07

Jasmine, I’m a committed Christian and member of the CofE. We wouldn’t have any children in our churches at all (we don’t have very many as it is, admittedly) if we disapproved of those born out of wedlock. Last year I helped out with paperwork and preparation for baptism. Not a single child was born to parents married to each other. Next week I’m helping at a wedding where the star guest will be the couple’s new baby. Most churches I know wouldn’t bat an eyelid at a lesbian couple with kids.

LangCleg · 11/09/2018 20:06

My bra size is 34C, if it assuages you for a bit. Pfft.

I've got saggy tits. Manchester Pride said so.

Ereshkigal · 11/09/2018 20:04

Seeing as the thread is detailed

Yes I agree it's very detailed. If you're lucky Lang might give full details of how to make the WBH (not the knock off ready made one with dried banana).

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 20:03

I'm actually properly laughing out loud now. Comes in with a 'Voluntarily doxx yourself please' post, and after much shilly shalling, decides to double down ask for more personal histories.

It's like 'I couldn't catch a big fish, so I'll have some juicy details from you lot instead'

My bra size is 34C, if it assuages you for a bit. Pfft.

Potplant2 · 11/09/2018 20:03

No lesbian was ever a mother until 2009. Troofact

It's a really interesting story, especially with lesbian MIL being a Christian. The church are not usually supportive of children being born outside a traditional straight marriage.

Lang I agree Banana Weetabix and hot milk is literal violence but my toddler loves it.

Melanippe · 11/09/2018 20:03

Lang those Weetabix sound like the brainchild of a severely unhappy person. The kind who spends their spare time building thermonuclear devices in a small shed.

Melanippe · 11/09/2018 20:02

Oh dear Jasmine can't pin your bullshit on the genteel lady-guys you lots, so resort to casting aspersions on Gulag's Mil's lesbian credentials? How fucking dare you!

And as for your OP, it never happened. Nas made it up as part of a hit piece on WPUK. You'd have to be a bloody fool or under 5 not to see it. Or wilfully obtuse, and no one gives a fuck which of those groups you identify into.

LangCleg · 11/09/2018 20:01

Sheesh, there's bad faith and then there's nuclear fucking option bad faith.

The Weetabix is my superhero power. It removes even the most cunning disguise.

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 19:59

Blah blah blah. How about none of your beeswax, creepy overly interested person?

Sheesh, there's bad faith and then there's nuclear fucking option bad faith.

LangCleg · 11/09/2018 19:59

Well that would be incredibly intrusive, Jasmine. Much less intrusive would be me asking you where you stand on the Weetabix issue, don't you think? I mean, we are all genteel hereabouts, are we not?

Potplant2 · 11/09/2018 19:57

How is that any of your business, OP?
