“Why are TERFs so well organized compared to us?”

Maybe not spray starch (whatever that is)

They forgot "we are all living in our mum's basement telling ourselves we are disabled and the world owes us a living".

"55g starch , any type will be fine"

Any type? Are you sure? I mean sure it makes my t shirts look great, but in cake?

That cake sounds fab.

Any other ganttphobes out there? I think it's something to do with my never diagnosed but definitely there adhd. I can do things, but I don't do them the way I'm meant to do them, and charts paralyse me. If the TRAs want to prevent me from being organised and to reduce me to a sobbing whimpering wreck, all they need to do is make a gantt chart . . .

I think this is it in a nutshell. Due to the purity politics at play, they struggle to form strategic alliances even within their own community. A commenter on that thread claimed there was more diversity among trans people than TERFs because trans people are divided over fundamental things, such as what it means to be trans. That commenter certainly raises a good point. If you're so busy castigating members of your own "community" for being transmedicalists or anti-neopronoun or simply disagreeing with one minor point of doctrine, you're not forming a united front line against the evil TERFs.

Whereas we have a lot of diversity of thought (some so-called "TERF" women don't actually consider themselves particularly feminist, some have devoted years to understanding feminist theory, some lean more conservative, some are Marxist) but will generally pull together on certain issues. There are exceptions as some on the far left won't work with for e.g. KJK but it still holds mostly true from what I can see.

Right, this is a German recipe so it's for 28 cm diameter springform, you can put it into a slightly smaller one too:
100 g butter
100 g sugar
some vanilla essence
3 egg yolks
150 g flour
55 g starch , any type will be fine
1.5 tsp baking powder

Cream butter and sugar, add egg yolks, add flour, starch and baking powder, put into the bottom of a baking paper lined springform. This isn't a soft batter, I press it into the baking tray with my hands. It will be nice and fluffy once baked nevertheless.
Arrange a layer of peeled rhubarb on top. Works well with other tart fruit too, gooseberries for example.

3 egg whites
pinch of salt
150 g sugar (my mum always used half caster and half icing, not sure why, it works with either one)

Beat egg whites with salt until stiff, carefully add sugar, pile the meringue mix on top of the rhubarb.
Bake at 160 C for at least 80 min, you can prop the door slightly open for the last 20 min to let any steam escape so that the meringue can crisp up.
Best eaten fresh.

rhubarb meringue! Where has this been all my life

I have some rhubarb too, second this!

Also BDSM stands for Brainstorm, Delegate, Strategise and Manouevre.

Re-ci-pe, re-ci-pe!

Gantphilia.

Little known fact that 'gc' actually stands for 'gant chart'.

I have loads of rhubarb, I could make my rhubarb meringue cake, it's always very popular.

I see the gerbils have very wisely opted to bake more than required. Although I notice there is no time dedicated to the drizzling on the lemon drizzle cakes.

I'll tell Gladys she needs to redo the gantt chart.

They're also very single issue and more tolerant of intolerance.

Single-issue campaigning gets shit done. Every time you add another stance to your group, you risk alienating people.

I won't be friends with white supremacist 4channers just because they're trans,

You don't have to be "friends" with someone to form a strategic alliance with them about a single issue.

Now you're talking!
Is there a specific fetish term for this please?

I hope someone will protect me from the Gantt chart. I'm afeared of Gantt charts. I'll do anything you want, produce anything you need, on time and within if not under budget but NO CHARTS.

See this is exactly why half of the Aston data scrape had to be abandoned, because threads veered off into recipes and japes.

It might be too sweet. Which reminds me, I found the little knitted chick a fellow cell member crafter I know made to raise money for a good cause at Easter. It encloses a chocolate creme egg. Nasty things, but I suppose it would be wrong to waste food.

Youre going to need a gant chart.

Terfs love a gant chart. And nice pens.

I have discovered the recipe for Nigella's Chocolate and Coffee cake in recent months (after realising I had no walnuts to make a birthday Coffee and Walnut cake as usual).

It is sublime.

Never mind the lemon drizzle... Tell me more about Toblerone cheesecake

Isnt a lemon drizzle cake without the lemon just a glazed madeira cake? Nothing wrong with that of course. I made a Toblerone cheesecake the other week...it was very well-received.

So, 49 lemon drizzle cakes for the rest of the cell and 1 Victoria sponge identifying as a lemon drizzle cake.

I'll place the order and ask the gerbils to also make half a dozen of the lemon drizzle cakes gluten free.

One of the of the delis in town does a gluten-free orange drizzle cake that is excellent, also a chocolate cake and a classic ldc. I don't enter the shop too often.
