Coffee Chain Tim Hortons in Canada does Harry Potter donuts and ppl lose their minds

You'd think so, wouldn't you! But when we've tried it, it didn't work out at all.

Google AI:

Surveys generally show that women tend to express higher levels of support and approval for transgender rights than men. However, public opinion varies significantly depending on the specific policy or right being polled.

Survey Findings on Gender and Trans Support

- General Trends: Data from large-scale social attitude and public health/policy studies (such as research from the Williams Institute) frequently indicate that women are more likely than men to support general non-discrimination protections and legal recognition for transgender individuals.

- Nuance by Issue: While broader acceptance and anti-discrimination laws tend to garner higher support among women, opinions on specific topics—such as access to single-sex spaces or sports categories—show more complex division and debate across all demographics.

Other Key Demographic Factors

- Age: Younger adults consistently report higher levels of social tolerance and support for trans rights compared to older generations.

- Education: Higher levels of educational attainment are strongly correlated with more socially liberal views on gender identity and rights.

It's always a load of young women around these transwomen you see arguing with conservative men in campus videos on YT. Its never a load of young blokes around them.

Liberal feminists are usually women and are hugely on board with all this woke stuff. Trans and 'sex work is empowering' etc.

Most blokes aren't interested in identity politics and think transwomen are wronguns. Women like Helen Webberley have been instrumental in pushing trans ideology.

Yes I guess halloumi isn’t very melty

books holiday to Canada immediately

I love Tim Hortons. It’s my fave in Canada and the UK and I also love HP so hope this comes to the UK

We used to have a Tim Horton’s near us, but it closed down, otherwise I’d be going and buying these.

Every time I eat a doughnut, a trans woman loses his sparkle.

I love halloumi, but I’m thinking too much squeak. There’s a fine squeak to melt balance…

Interesting! Taking notes…

Halloumi?

Absolutely fascinating article thank you @ProfessorBinturong

Funnily enough, crumbled Wensleydale isn't a bad substitute. A bit of a squeak, right acidity. Paneer's a bit too lacking in bite and taste to work.

You can make them with a sachet of veg rennet but I tend to end up making it too salty when I've tried myself.

We've had threads about things in Canada for a decade or so on MN because some of the earliest examples of plot losing were there.

Yaniv and his vexatious persecution of female beauticians in the Human Rights courts as well.

I’ve literally never heard a Canadian use the word TERF

The (I assume) Canadians who attacked the Vancouver Rape Relief centre used the word TERF when they nailed a dead rat to the door

Perhaps because you have passed laws supporting men’s rights to do whatever they like and go wherever they like as long as they claim mythical ‘womanhood’. Of course people are afraid to speak up, of course women and girls are afraid to object, when recognising and stating out loud that these invaders are MEN makes them the criminals.

For those who've not previously come across the '2S' addition, this is a very good explanation of what it is and why it shouldn't be there: culturallyboundgender.wordpress.com/2013/03/09/toward-an-end-to-appropriation-of-indigenous-two-spirit-people-in-trans-politics-the-relationship-between-third-gender-roles-and-patriarchy/

🤯😡
Women and girls really don’t count in Canada.

In Glasgow we have a place called Tantrum Doughnuts.

I don't know why it suddenly came to mind 😀

Have just checked with the resident chef (DH) and he says kind of. It’s not too far off - won’t be quite the same but it’s better than most other alternatives.

In places where curds are unavailable, would paneer be a suitable alternative?

WTF do murdered women have to do with the rest of the alphabet? Offensive force-teaming.

I think this is what frustrates a lot of TRAs (and even a lot of younger people in general, who've had it drilled into them that anything other than unquestioning acceptance of anyone identifying as trans into single sex spaces is bigotry).

They can say that wearing or buying Harry Potter merchandise is a visible indicator that a person is a bigot. They can say that buying Rowling's books shows that a person supports the genocide of trans people. They can scream until they're blue in the face how Rowling is an old hag who's a self-hating trans man infected with mold.

But, ultimately... it has no effect. Harry Potter is still a huge franchise with massive backing from both publishers and film/TV studios. New generations of children are reading and loving the books. Lego still release masses of sets, people flock en masse to the studio tour. Kids (and adults!) still wear t-shirts of the Hogwarts houses. And companies promote their Harry Potter doughnuts.

The Cormoran Strike books still do incredibly well, there's still TV series being made (The Running Grave is expected to start showing this December).

JK Rowling is still a billionaire, despite donating hundred of millions to charities, including one's helping single mothers, children in poverty, domestic violence victims, multiple sclerosis sufferers, refugees, Afghan women fleeing the Taliban, as well as her well-documented support for gender critical feminist organisations. She's one of the country's biggest taxpayers, because she doesn't hide all of her wealth in trusts and offshore accounts.

Screaming unhinged abuse at her is all they have, because nothing they say or do seems to materially impact the popularity of her work, and certainly doesn't impact her bank balance... because most people don't think it's unreasonable to say stuff that's basically, "biological sex is a scientific fact, and single sex spaces/sports exist for a reason".
