Why is there such a large portion of the feminist movement so against trans culture. Trans people have been some of the biggest advocates for supporting allegedly oppressed groups. Why is it suddenly okay to for feminists (a formally oppressed group) to oppress trans people (currently oppressed group) why?

You wicked women, you have literally killed feminism with your talk of milk puddings and cold tea with bits.

Datun - the second post re bubble tea mentioned them shooting up the straw and choking. Probably best avoided in risk-averse times.

@Blamonge, can you give me and example of when ‘Trans people have been some of the biggest advocates for supporting allegedly oppressed groups’?

I once tried to use a mix of Weetabix and PVA to fill the gaps between the wooden floorboards in my sitting room. When the room got warm it smelt very weird and as it dried out the Weetabix mix started to break up and fall on DS1, who slept in the basement below. Luckily he found it amusing.

These bubbles - do you suck them up the straw? Doesn't that produce a lot of choking?

@isabellerossignol
Ah no, to be fair they have also supported the rights of those grown men who like to dress up as puppies to be allowed to roll round and play with young children. In public. In the name of 'acceptance'

Oops, yes, I forgot about that niche group!

Tea is always someone l want regards of weather... ☕(But with milk!)

Absolutely. I was drinking decaf last night, proper stuff now.
Well, if by any chance this summer turns out hot and humid maybe I'll try bubbles, it seems there are online suppliers of kit.

Thank your for validating my belief that feminism is a platform for bullies and hypocrites.

And yet your very own opening post asserts that feminism does good every day.

🙄

Please don't homeschool your daughter OP.

BovaryX · 09/04/2020 07:36

Thank your for validating my belief

Grin The women on this board aren't here to 'validate your beliefs.' Maybe your beliefs are not valid?

Blamonge · 09/04/2020 07:34

Thank your for validating my belief that feminism is a platform for bullies and hypocrites. As most of you have suggested I will do one. Feminism is dead thanks to stupidity and hostility in this post, long live equalism. I also recently had a daughter and I was so glad I did, females are so much better of than males in current society. At least if your under the age of 35.

Blamonge I almost missed the humour. "Trans people have been some of the biggest advocates for supporting allegedly oppressed groups."

oppressed groups = men

LouHotel · 09/04/2020 07:05

I would like to thank the OP for opening the feminist board to the very important cultural phenomenon which is bubble tea. Quite frankly I‘M disturbed That so many so called feminist are not aware of the importance of £5.95 fruit juice with poppable liquid choking hazards included.

Also I greatly miss pink custard and sponge was amazing at school and I’m gonna make it this way for my kid

Lamahaha · 09/04/2020 07:04

I don't get why it's called a phobia. It doesn't seem to be on the same lines as (example) arachnophobia or claustrophobia.
Shouldn't it be an ist? Like racist.

This ^ absolutely.

This thread, like many others here, make me once again long for a "like" option on MN.

It also makes me long for Crème Brûlée, which is my absolute favourite pudding. Will try that from scratch today.

Bubble tea is good, the bubbles are little tapioca pearls soaked in a flavoured liquid until they swell up like jellies. So you drink your drink and get little bursts of flavour.

HeyDuggeewhatchadoin · 09/04/2020 06:57

All I've gotten from this thread is that Bubble Tea might be worth a try.
Are the shops what sell it still open right now?

FannyCann · 09/04/2020 06:53

Also re blancmange - that rubbery skin. ShockEnvy The stuff of horrors.
A girl called Tracy who was rather cool, (her Dad was a diplomat in the Bahamas and she was somewhat rebellious) scooped all the trifle that had been topped with pink blancmange out of the serving bowl (we had one for each table of ten) and wrote "Pink Snot" with it in the empty serving bowl.
Cook was massively affronted when the bowl returned to the kitchen and we were all imprisoned in the dining room and had to file out one by one and own up. Washing up for a week she cost our table. Grin

TitianaTitsling · 09/04/2020 06:50

I'm not knocking British style tea but it's not really the thing you want if it's hot and humid and you're walking around in the sun. Shame on you!! Tea is always someone l want regards of weather... ☕(But with milk!)

FannyCann · 09/04/2020 06:47

I think these puddings, like semolina, rice pudding etc. started off as a way to get milk, and calories, into your kids if they wouldn't drink the stuff or were fussy eaters.

I do recall an acquaintance who said his mother was of the belief that children should have a milk pudding every day and rotated one of these tapioca/semolina/rice etc puddings for lunch EVERY day of his childhood. Needless to say, it was not a happy memory.

TitianaTitsling · 09/04/2020 06:40

Absolutely agree Datun! Trying to get some peace and quiet before day of chaos begins and a sure my sniggering is going to awaken the rest of the household! Chewy tea and chunky milk 😆🤢

Datun · 09/04/2020 06:38

And yes, of course, to this.

You can’t self-define into oppression, you mad bastard

Totally on topic Grin

Not "against trans culture" (glad to see that you recognise it as a culture and not a reality). I'm simply for facts.

And the fact is that women cannot turn into men and men cannot turn into women.
HTH.

Datun · 09/04/2020 06:26

Ok this thread is properly funny.

"Chewy tea", is like a euphemism for sick.

Weird things to make with milk. It could be a new YouTube concept.

Mix milk with cuprinol for an all purpose skin softening tanning lotion.

Take some cottage cheese and dunk a spoonful in your camomile for a chunky bedtime drink.

Tired of food with a pleasant texture? Eat this fecking blancmange.

Fecking blancmange produced involuntary noises. 🤣
