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?

What I can't work out is why this substance existed post-rationing when we had eggs and proper custard is so easy to make, more nutritious and much nicer. Confused

My gran used to make pink blancmange. No idea what she put in it but it was always foul. However this thread has now made me crave panna cotta. Do you think it could be made dairy free? They do some pretty nice soya creams nowadays.

I remember it being referred to as pink blancmange, so I always assumed there were varieties.

And I see the word and just see a slimy pudding called WhiteEat and I feel sick.

@ErrolTheDragon quite, but I had totally missed the username!

ErrolTheDragon · 08/04/2020 23:22

Derailed? Why would the OP call themselves blamonge if they weren't interested in ersatz desserts?

ErrolTheDragon · 08/04/2020 23:21

Well, it was meant to be white and made as Dido describes but 60s packet blamonge was pink.

IAmFleshIAmBone · 08/04/2020 23:21

I feel like a right idiot having spent 20 mins wracking my brains trying to figure out where the thread got derailed onto the subject of blancmange Grin fuck sake

I like a cheesecake made from jelly (use much less water, and when it's half set, whisk it up with cream cheese for a mousse textured cheesecake topping). Kind of like a blancmange but nicer?

This thread has gone from something nonsensical to something informative and interesting Grin

MrsTerryPratchett · 08/04/2020 23:20

I'm making that chocolate orange thing.

TinselAngel · 08/04/2020 23:19

Do you remember blancmange rabbits with green jelly grass?

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 08/04/2020 23:18

If it was white that would make so much more sense, the name combined with it being pink was bothering me.

ErrolTheDragon · 08/04/2020 23:18

Re retro puddings a very nice one was jelly made up with half the quantity of water. When it's half-set whisk in evaporated milk to make up the missing quantity of liquid. It sets as a very light , fluffy, aerated pudd.

And if you don't whisk it you get something which makes your child eat her tinned fruit with nowt.Grin
Birds custard, preferably with cocoa added, was the only edible milk-based dessert DM could concoct.

Orange jelly half water & melt chocolate into it when half set beat evaporated milk until very light then fold together- vast quantity of “chocolate orange mousse” that my children expect for Christmas/birthdays etc Grin

Trans people have been some of the biggest advocates for supporting allegedly oppressed groups-- male fetishists of various types

There you go, OP. Fixed it for you.

Turquoiseeyes · 08/04/2020 23:16

Definitely not custard texture, firmer, more like pannacotta but with added slimy undertones.

DidoLamenting · 08/04/2020 23:16

So just custard with food coloring in it?

Not really. As there is no egg, blancmange doesn't have the same richness and the texture is different.

Datun · 08/04/2020 23:15

Ours was white. With possibly a splodge of jam in the middle. Looked good, tasted of nothing

FloralBunting · 08/04/2020 23:14

I REALLY hate the word blancmange.

This thread is the worst.

nzborn · 08/04/2020 23:14

I am a child of the sixties and l have never had that dessert just lucky l guess

Doyoumind · 08/04/2020 23:13

How can blancmange be pink? Perhaps it was really blamonge.

DidoLamenting · 08/04/2020 23:13

Proper blancmange is a milk pudding set with gelatine or carageen rather than eggs, as custard is.

I find it a bit slimy and not really worth the effort. It should be white, not pink but obviously you can add food colouring.

MotherOfAllNameChanges · 08/04/2020 23:11

Why do you think feminists are no longer oppressed?

ErrolTheDragon · 08/04/2020 23:10

My DMs blancmange was like nothing on earth tbh.
And then there was milk jelly (made with condensed milk) and junket.

I ate my tinned fruit with nowt. Grin

TheBewildernessisWeetabix · 08/04/2020 23:08

Why do so many trolls come to MN JAQing off?
We know why.

Datun · 08/04/2020 23:07

Crikey Errol, your blancmange sounds nothing like mine 😄

ErrolTheDragon · 08/04/2020 23:06

The 60s version of blancmange was too sweet, too pink, and essentially fake custard . Real custard needs eggs. (Coincidentally I'm eating baked egg custard for my supper at the moment. )
