Trans friendly thread!

[100lbtolose]

Hi MNers!

Just first of all want to say this isn't going to be a goady thread or a place to slag anyone off of be abusive. Everyone can have an opinion and everyone's allowed to think that they like.

2nd, if your anti-trans or don't believe trans people should be alllwed to self ID or that they aren't the gender they say they are etc pls be respectful and don't post here. There are loads of threads about all kinds of discussions about being trans that you can post on and I think it would be fair if you didn't do that here. I Obviously can't prevent anyone but It would be nice for this space to be respected as trans friendly and not taken over for other reasons. If you don't agree just leave and post somewhere else instead of using this thread please!

That now said - I'm all for trans rights and I think trans men are men and transwomen are women. I don't know if many MNers feel the same but if you do say hi! Or if anyone is trans know that you have an ally in me this thread can be for a chat or support or (friendly!) discussion. Or maybe I'm the only one here lol and I can just talk to myself...

ChemistryGeek How very dare you forget Pacers. Like they are lesser or something.
Mint bigot.

Remember when Opal Fruits got changed to Starburst? I feel like there should be some kind of message about rebranding and the importance of language here, but I can't quite think what.

Where do these stats come from? Male or female or Trans being asked the question? How many people were asked? More than 4?

These stats don't reflect my own experience.

the peppermint ones were Pacers, allegedly withdrawn cos they had had something addictive in them

I absolutely agree.
Medical professionals telling young people they can change sex is one of the cruelest frauds ever perpetrated.

Opal fruits will always be opal fruits to me.

Pacers were a bit "meh" imao.

But Splicers on the other hand...they were absolutely delish and I still miss them....misses the point of the thread entirely.....

I am somewhat fruit chew fluid but lean in a trans-Hi Chew-ish direction.

(Except the durian flavor, that's an abomination.)

Why not eat fruitellas that identify as splicers? - They are the same thing.

Jaxhog - we all live in our own echo chambers. Which is why it would currently behoove the Labour Party to get out of theirs. Here is the study.

Exactly. Or how about a maoam? This green one seems not to have a transphobic cotton ceiling. He loves everyone.

I remember Marathons becoming Snickers.

That was a dark day.

I believe all Starburst, Fruitellas & Chewits are indeed exactly the same in everyway and have always been the same in every way as Splicers... until I have to actually put them in my mouth...

@Red to be fair, the picture of him with Lily Madigan? It's not often that you see a pic of an old man with a 19 year old and it's the 19 year old who's been blurred a bit because the old man has nicer skin.

Actually it wasn't Madigan who I was referring to about selfies.

Late to the party as normal, but wow, what a post!

I am "pan" when it comes to maoam Collidascope but lean more towards Pinballs.

I think at some point in the near future this will be exposed as one of the biggest and saddest scandals of all time.

I don't even remember Pacers.

I was fond of a Spangle or two though.
