Mumsnet Obsession With Penises

615 replies

Manfreglory · 29/06/2025 18:33

My controversial opinion is that most of the Mums who obsess here over penises, uteruses and chromosomes, would pick more important and interesting topics if their own child was trans.

I had apple tea in Turkey, which was quite nice. But 'tea' tea is just bitter and bleurgh!

Yes i was thinking of Turkish apple tea. My favourite is spearmint and licorice. Although I'm mainly a coffee drinker.

I had taramasalata and pitta chips for lunch today. And a ploughman’s dip. But I’m a greedy fucker.

Agreed. Tea is utterly pointless imo.

At a push, a nice strong peppermint tea is nice but that 'ooh, let's have a lovely cup of tea' thing leaves me cold.

Outrageous

you think you know a person etc.

I wonder if, in a few years time, some people will look back and ask themselves why they risked their relationships with people close to them just to support an ideology as bonkers and dangerous as gender ideology, for people who'd drop them the moment they step even the teensiest bit out of line.

Plenty of anti-trans activists put their activism over IRL relationships..hell one of the best known ATAs did so to such an extent that his partner (and family) left him. There's been endless reports about this from both ATAs and from those who no longer have contact.

I've long advocated for a space like /r/QAnonCasualties for the latter.

Oh God, we're not going to get the whole 'Glinner's divorced!!!' crap again, are we?

I swear anti women TRA's have absolutely nothing in their arsenal but shite.

Put another record on.

And you can also buy/eat their gonads, to keep the thread vaguely on topic.

I thought roe were fish eggs.

Or deer.
Which are also tasty.

What about apple tea?

I like most things, which is prolly why I'm fat.

That is controversial.

However, I really bloody love pineapple on pizza.

Get me a hawaiian anyday.

I love pineapple on pizza too - but recently I had a pizza that had a cream cheese sauce, rather than tomato sauce, topped with sliced apples, Gorgonzola and olive tapenade - it was the most delicious pizza I have eaten in years.

I'd eat it.
I love taramasalata, last time I was at Baba in Edinburgh I had whipped cod roe for starter, so good.

Sea urchin larvae grow inside tiny see through spaceship like things called 'pluteus' (not sure of plural), float about, and then when ready to land, turn themselves inside out.

Pretty fucking cool.

Edit: Plural is plutei. It can also be spelled pluteuses.

Watch sea urchins turn themselves inside out to be reborn

Every summer, just beyond the crashing surf, hundreds of millions of tiny sea urchin larvae prepare for one of the most dramatic transformations in the animal kingdom.

As fruit in savoury dishes is an abomination, I will bring this thread back to the title to ask if those who work with penises could be described as obsessed by them? Horse &Hound ran an interview a while back with a woman known as the Bean Queen, who spotted a gap in the market and charged £25 per horse penis clean (a bean is a lump from smegma build-up, which can cause infection if left). I'm not sure what she charges for mares who identify as stallions.

The first ones I ever had were fresh off the rock in New Zealand, offered to me by my then boyfriend's (Maori) father. Would have been rude to decline but I really liked them once I was over the fact that it was still alive.
I've had them since in the South of Italy, they are nice.
Edited to say that I only ever had them raw, not sure if people eat them cooked as well.

ArabellaScott · 03/07/2025 08:03

Really? Any sea urchins, or are there special types? Raw?

This is my moment to admit that I hate and despise baked beans, even typing this makes me feel a bit queasy, and I famously eat absolutely anything, including kina (sea urchins) plucked off a rock.

I used to have curry on toast for breakfast back in the olden days, so if it didn't have cheese on it I expect a curry pizza would be fine.
