Transphobic attitudes contradict the good feminism does everyday

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?

I also use autocorrect really badly in this persona to baffle people further.

The pink blancmange was supposed to be raspberry or strawberry fkavoured. I quite liked it actually.☺️
You could also get a chocolate flavoured one. Dr Oetker, the German brand, does vanilla and chocolate 'puddings' which are essentially blancmange. They are set with cornflour rather than gelatine.
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. From a time when childhood deaths and serious illnesses like polio and TB were much more common.

You're are my sock Floral, that says stuff really eloquently, so that in this persona I can just be glib.

Mind you I would eat tapioca above caviar. That is a texture I cannot handle.

I don't understand the appeal of caviar, never have. Suppose that means I fail the snob test but oh well!

I feel like there might be some highly specific joke about the pink kind, where the punchline is blancminge

What's life without a little risk?

LangCleg was vilified on this very board for her WHB and now all talk is about lumpy tapioca frogspawn cold milky tea.
It's a strange world we're living in but I'll definitely take WBH over frogspawn lumpy milkshake

I did read that mummy.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 09/04/2020 00:09

Not to mention the choking hazard which is definitely worth it

I've had the "choking hazard" conversation with my bestie about mochi served hot in soup, which is apparently a New Year thing (she's from Japan). Me - So every year people die from eating this and choking on it? Her - Yes. Me - And every year everyone eats it anyway? Her - Nods enthusiastically.

I mean, I suppose Brits do set Christmas pudding on fire, so hey.

Tinsel, stop having my thoughts,people will think I'm your sock.

Someone got very ill drinking bubble tea.
The bubbles got stuck in their guts.

Thelnebriati · 09/04/2020 00:07

Exciting to find out women are 'formally' oppressed, when did that change?
It hasn't really changed, its more a change along the lines of ''the artist formerly known as Prince'' sort of change.

I do realise its all a bit odd, odd enough to make your head spin.

Example for those who're wondering what the hell this looks like.
That looks like beer, which must be horrific false advertising Shock

IAmFleshIAmBone · 09/04/2020 00:07

Weetabix... Even the smell makes me feel ill

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 09/04/2020 00:06

Just cold milk and sugar for me please (on the Weetabix). I haven't had it in years, nostalgic now!

FloralBunting · 09/04/2020 00:06

Riiight. So it's cold tea for when you want to pretend you're holding a beer instead?

Winesalot · 09/04/2020 00:05

Forget bubble tea. There is nothing like a lime iced tea freshly made in Bangkok.

But balls in tea ....

My mum used to send me to school with two Weetbix with butter in between. (Yes Weetbix not Weetabix). She used to have hot water and milk over her Weetbix with sliced banana every morning.

Oh, it's not warm? Slightly better. Marginally.

I don't like milky tea, though. Can't imagine I'd like it more cold with teeny fish eye beads in it.

ErrolTheDragon · 09/04/2020 00:03

Ah well... If you caught the 'Lancashire' part you can probably estimate the local requirement for bubble tea.

TinselAngel · 09/04/2020 00:02

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.

That's not the kind of attitude that built the empire kittens Hmm

IAmFleshIAmBone · 09/04/2020 00:01

I guess it's not for everyone but it's very refreshing
