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.

I dream of having a 34C bra size. That's a nice respectable size to have. I feel that 34C bewbs might be well behaved at parties. Mine are fucking enormous and have their own ideas about where they wish to be at any given moment. They're like a bewb version of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Fucking things.

I am the rare small boobed woman in my family. The rest of the female line is endowed with much norkage.

LangCleg · 11/09/2018 20:13

I think we have reached the flailing stage now?

Potplant2 · 11/09/2018 20:13

You can have some of my norkage, Flora, I’ve got plenty spare

LangCleg · 11/09/2018 20:14

Not the boob talk, I hasten to add.

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 20:15

Yes. It's becoming more unfocused and pointless by the second, really.

Melanippe · 11/09/2018 20:15

Or mine Floral

Wilhemenawonka · 11/09/2018 20:15

Confession time...
My name is wilhamena and i don't like weetabix at all.
Also my perfect recall of long conversations in public with complete strangers is never as good as the writers. Much like most peoples.

I do however still like chocolate and peanut butter porridge and know/have known many inclusive Christians from all denominations. Of all ages

AngryAttackKittens · 11/09/2018 20:15

Well this has all gotten a bit creepy and invasive. I wonder if it's tissues time.

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 20:16

I think my girls would probably be the first in line to pass me some extra front bumper. They really don't like them much, for differing reasons.

AngryAttackKittens · 11/09/2018 20:18

I was ambivalent too at their age, Floral, though I've grown accustomed to the massive norkage as I've grown up.

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 20:20

I always find rocking up to mums and tots groups and starting conversations like this is the best ways to find out about schools I'm interested in. The mums there never find me really peculiar. Though there was that thing last week when they changed the date and venue and didn't tell me...

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 11/09/2018 20:22

I went away for a bit and now the conversation has moved on to boobs

You just cant leave a thread for a minute...honestly!!

jasmine

Part of the reason the thread has moved off track is because you haven't actually said anything or seem to want to discuss anything (apart from people's backgrounds which is weird) you wanted someone to admit to being some random GRA debater off the street which is a stretch because

A) what are the odds?

And B) no one fancies being doxxed or all over twitter and the subject of this journalists patronising gubbins

So what do you wanna talk about (apart from individual posters parentage)

Ok, I am now genuinely wetting my knickers laughing so I am going to watch something Very Serious And Important on TV.

Potplant2 · 11/09/2018 20:25

I’ve been rewatching The West Wing recently. And pretending it’s real, to cheer myself up (though it can also be appallingly sexist at times)

Potplant2 · 11/09/2018 20:28

On the ‘what’s the odds?’ question, remember that the TRAs think there are only about five of us on here and we’re the sum total of GC feminists for the country. Most people agree that men can become women! In their minds, at least

BettyDuMonde · 11/09/2018 20:29

I’ve got a lesbian MIL (of husband number 2, so ex MIL really).

Lesbians in their 60s and 70s with grown children do exist you know.

Have the youth of today remained totally oblivious to the yogurt pot and turkey baster method? Or the ‘pretend to be straight’ to get a baby method?

I suppose all this wilful. misunderstanding of sex gametes must make conception seem rather mysterious...

AngryAttackKittens · 11/09/2018 20:31

My DHs lesbian auntie has kids...

woman11017 · 11/09/2018 20:35

It was all of us. Smile

AngryAttackKittens · 11/09/2018 20:36

I Am Stickericus?

BeUpStanding · 11/09/2018 20:37

Can I propose bananas and peanut butter as a combination that just about everyone can get behind? On toast, obviously

Ereshkigal · 11/09/2018 20:38

I only like bananas neat.

Ereshkigal · 11/09/2018 20:38

Can't stand banana chips in muesli.

Cuntysnark · 11/09/2018 20:39

I’m firmly (boobed) in the weetabix is the work of the devil. Porridge-passable but no sugar. Virtuous breakfaster.
