Why did I think margarine was a by product of the petroleum industry

Vaseline?

@Dowser have a nice cup of coffee and put the bottle down now.

It may have already been said up thread but if anyone is lurking and wants to get a bit of background about the issues surrounding this whole debate (or non-debate in the case of the Flora HQ I suspect) a great place to start is the Fair Play for Women website.

What on Earth am I mixing it up with

I don't care what you mix it with, please just don't feed it to me (arf arf).

Ahem. Sorry. Maybe you mean vaseline? It's petroleum based? Or plastic? Flora does come in plastic...

You know there's likely to be people who are trans on here, right? Or women who will be pro trans too?

Yes, absolutely! I am pro trans rights and now very anti Flora. Flora can massively fuck off after this. I said my piece earlier, so I won't go off on one again. But I think it's fair to say they have managed to piss off people on all sides of the debate. It's one thing to disagree with what some posters say on here re trans issues. It's another thing entirely to say that the entire site is a "hate site", especially coming from a company which apparently has a new base in Uganda, where they have just reintroduced a law, known colloquially as the "Kill the Gays" law AngryHmmShock🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕. Fuck you Flora.

I thought they were hypocritical for not boycotting FB and Twitter, where transphobic commenta are a lot more blatant and rarely picked up on or deleted by moderators. But if that is true about Uganda, I mean, WTAF? How fucking dare they call us a hate site? How fucking dare they? I am livid.

Oh look, I did go off on one again didn't I? Sorry and all that.

A tumbler of Port (or two) is my tipple of choice for a nice evening with a good book.
