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.

Seeing as the thread is detailed I'm intrigued how Gulag's lesbian MIL conceived Gulug's DP seeing as donor conception didn't exist until fairly recently (assuming the DP is over 30). Did she initially have a male partner then come out later in life? Or come to an arrangement with a male friend?
Or is she not the birth mother and the DP of lesbian MIL?

Lang

You are one of my most favourite contributors on FWR but I will never forgive you for inventing that triggering hot milk cereal banana horror - sorry (not sorry) Grin

Floral you’ve just made me literally die of disgust with that. Banana Weetabix and hot milk is literal violence.

I knew you'd show up to put the boot in.

Pfft.

terryleather · 11/09/2018 19:31

First they came for your bananas
Then they came for your hot milk
Then they came for your Weetabix

Then all was right with the world Grin

LangCleg · 11/09/2018 19:11

Floral - the WBH is the only antidote to Goady Fuckery. Surely you know this by now?!

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 19:10

I'm just pointing out that Lang is influential. If Weetabix are adding the banana in the box for you now, well, it's just proof that they are either secretly GC and read all the deleted troll threads, or they are actually nefarious trolls themselves.

However, if it's eating hot mushy Weetabix versus being patronizingly lectured about gender by the OP/the author of the article, I'll take the Weetabix, thanks.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 11/09/2018 19:09

I am so screenshotting that comment of datuns Grin

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 11/09/2018 19:08

Oh christ im too late

Flee caaarrrl flee!!!

AngryAttackKittens · 11/09/2018 19:08

I think that's Lang's job since she's the point of origin for that culinary abomination.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 11/09/2018 19:07

You are probably better off not knowing caaarrrl

LangCleg · 11/09/2018 19:07

Weetabix. Mashed banana. Hot milk.

Sends 'em all into fits of conniptions around here. The heretics.

Caaarrrl · 11/09/2018 19:06

Can someone please explain the Weetabix?

LangCleg · 11/09/2018 19:05

I cannot believe you all brought up Weetabix before me!

I'm the Pied Piper, that's what I am.

PS: Didn't even know what a TERF was, never mind that I was one, until a couple of weeks ago.

VickyEadie · 11/09/2018 19:02

Actually, what is really disturbing is that I'm wandering round Tesco, seeing breakfast cereal ideas I would never have even noticed before and realising that I'm thinking about Goady Fuckery while pushing my trolley.

One of the joys I have derived from MN - and I only joined this year - is that the expressions 'cheeky fucker/cheeky fuckery' and 'goady fucker/goady fuckery' have entered our household terminology.l

I never recognise my self in any anti-terf rants. I appear to be hated all over the place, and yet I don’t hate trans people. I don’t fear them. I don’t wish them ill. I don’t deny their existence. I would, out of politeness, use their preferred pronouns.

But yet because I don’t believe you can actually become a woman they pin all the above on me.

Quite agree with you. Can't say I've ever encountered anti-terf rants in real life though, only on here.

Neither have I found it difficult living in a woman's body. Why would I? I'm a woman and that has never held me back in any way.

AngryAttackKittens · 11/09/2018 19:00

Better to think about goady fuckers than slimy banana chips...

Facknats · 11/09/2018 18:58

Agreed, UndercoverGC, I have met some very confused people who learn what GC is after being fed misinformation for years and believing it's a clear cut case.

That makes it sound like we were considering eating Lang. No cannibalism, please.
