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?

So just custard with food coloring in it? That doesn't sound horrible.

Yeah, but didn't taste of anything, not sweet enough, and wobbly, like jelly.

Oh god my granny used to make “pink pudding” which is strawberry jelly made with yogurt - a most unusual texture 😬

I on the other hand have just made the bread dough & put the fruit to soak for tea bread 😇

I think the stuff at school was maybe strawberry flavoured or similar. We had it with cake! But yeah, basically it was custard-y.

Yet, blancmange looked good, but then you tasted and it didn't quite deliver. Course, then angel delight came in and that was the end of it for me.

I'm sure I could work a metaphor in there somewhere, if only I could be arsed.

Turquoiseeyes · 08/04/2020 23:04

I have seen Blancmange in the flesh, it's pale pink and wibbly. I am a child of the 1958s onwards so yes I know the horror of Blancmange.

For those that don’t know what blancmange looks like, there ya go.

Blancmange is pretty wobbly in the flesh. A bit like this opening post. HTH

isabellerossignol · 08/04/2020 23:00

We used to have blancmange at primary school, but I don't think it was the real deal. It was just like pink custard. I think the real deal is more like milky jelly isn't it? I loved the pink custard mind you...

MrsTerryPratchett · 08/04/2020 22:59

I've heard of blancmange but never actually seen it in the flesh, as it were.

I've been told we have a milk glut in my area. And I have jelly... 1970s experiment!!!

I was going to ask OP what it was like living on the ceiling

Nooooo! Now I can’t get 🎵 Knock Three Times 🎶 in my head! Dammit! I don’t even like country! 😭

In my experience, the only people that trans people have been advocates for supporting is themselves

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'.

In my experience, the only people that trans people have been advocates for supporting is themselves. An 'allegedly oppressed group'.

ErrolTheDragon · 08/04/2020 22:54

I rather like the spelling 'blamonge'. Sounds pink and squishy as it should , 'blancmange' never made sense for something so lurid.

(If you weren't a child in the 60s or before maybe you're lucky enough not to have ever been served this substance)

Winesalot · 08/04/2020 22:53

A bit more reading while you tell us also how feminism is oppression transpeople.

I was formally sober, but I found a bottle of nice wine that I forgot I had, so I’m slightly tiddly.

However, I shall identify as sober and you can’t disagree with me!

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 08/04/2020 22:53

But lo! What light through yonder window breaks?

It's Karen White, and Jessica Yaniv. Yay.

LemonRedwood · 08/04/2020 22:48

I find I'm informally oppressed quite a bit too.

Winesalot · 08/04/2020 22:47

I am very interested in hearing about these things that trans people have advocated for women (an actual oppressed group, not alleged at all).

MrsTerryPratchett · 08/04/2020 22:47

a formally oppressed group
