Do you recognise yourself?

This trans journalist had a chance encounter with a supporter of WPUK. Was this one of you lot?

Really thoughtful article - division into two camps without engaging with each other is not the answer.

Oh lord. I've got to say, I think you come across as an incredibly nice woman. Sometimes too nice. And yet, when your gander is up, you're a fucking spitfire.

But, but, oh dear lord, you are the absolute epitome of comic timing.

😂

Re the CofE bit, somehow it doesn't surprise me that genderist beliefs and other forms of lazy stereotyping go together.

I saw a box of Weetabix with bananas already added the other day, and I thought to myself, mmm, hot milk would make that a really genteel snack.

Do you mean...DRIED bananas?

(retch, gag, boak)

What happens if you soak banana chips in milk?

They go slimy.

Floral you’ve just made me literally die of disgust with that. Banana Weetabix and hot milk is literal violence.

I now judge the level of a thread by the deployment or not of The Notorious Weetabix Banana Horror...

Poor Lang, excluded from the list of acceptable breakfast options by people on every side of the debate.

Damn right.

That makes it sound like we were considering eating Lang. No cannibalism, please.

Absolutely fucking right on the money
HotRocker - boak doesn't even begin to cover it.

Agreed, UndercoverGC, I have met some very confused people who learn what GC is after being fed misinformation for years and believing it's a clear cut case.

Actually, what is really disturbing is that I'm wandering round Tesco, seeing breakfast cereal ideas I would never have even noticed before and realising that I'm thinking about Goady Fuckery while pushing my trolley.

Better to think about goady fuckers than slimy banana chips...

I never recognise my self in any anti-terf rants. I appear to be hated all over the place, and yet I don’t hate trans people. I don’t fear them. I don’t wish them ill. I don’t deny their existence. I would, out of politeness, use their preferred pronouns.

But yet because I don’t believe you can actually become a woman they pin all the above on me.

Quite agree with you. Can't say I've ever encountered anti-terf rants in real life though, only on here.

Neither have I found it difficult living in a woman's body. Why would I? I'm a woman and that has never held me back in any way.

One of the joys I have derived from MN - and I only joined this year - is that the expressions 'cheeky fucker/cheeky fuckery' and 'goady fucker/goady fuckery' have entered our household terminology.l

PS: Didn't even know what a TERF was, never mind that I was one, until a couple of weeks ago.

I cannot believe you all brought up Weetabix before me!

I'm the Pied Piper, that's what I am.

Can someone please explain the Weetabix?

Weetabix. Mashed banana. Hot milk.

Sends 'em all into fits of conniptions around here. The heretics.

You are probably better off not knowing caaarrrl

I think that's Lang's job since she's the point of origin for that culinary abomination.

Oh christ im too late

Flee caaarrrl flee!!!

I am so screenshotting that comment of datuns

However, if it's eating hot mushy Weetabix versus being patronizingly lectured about gender by the OP/the author of the article, I'll take the Weetabix, thanks.
