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.

Marmite and avocado, yes. Peanut butter and banana sticks to the roof of one’s mouth.

It’s ^claggy&

Chocolate porridge is my sugar fix winter warmer. Just standard really creamy porridge with a bit of chocolate melted in.

Oh ive told my children we are going to have a big breakfast once a month

But each breakfast has to be from a different country

So full English (obvs)

American and mexican im quite happy with

Any other ideas

Not from you lang Hmm i get the feeling that in your mind all the countries in the world eat weetabix and hot milk with banana

BeUpStanding · 11/09/2018 20:43

Marmite and avocado?! Shock

UpstartCrow · 11/09/2018 20:43

English Breakfast tea is breakfast.

My DS has a lesbian mum. She got pregnant by doing that weird having sex with a man thing, but then she examined her genital preferences, and decided that actually sex with a man wasn’t for her after all. She gave it a bloody good go though.

BeUpStanding · 11/09/2018 20:45

Congee for a Chinese breakfast... Or dim sum, which is technically more brunch.

French pastries, obvs

Ereshkigal · 11/09/2018 20:45

In Brazil you often have cake, fruit, fresh fruit juice, bread, cheese and coffee.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 11/09/2018 20:49

eresh

What we go on holiday to spain or portugal or greece somewhere like that we have 'breakfast cake'

Its just the plain madera type they do...any excuse not to prepare anything

But brazilian might be good

I did think of Chinese breakfast or japanese...might have to google that

ShrodingersSturdyPyjamas · 11/09/2018 20:49

Seeing as the thread is detailed I'm intrigued how Gulag's lesbian MIL conceived Gulug's DP seeing as donor conception didn't exist until fairly recently (assuming the DP is over 30). Did she initially have a male partner then come out later in life? Or come to an arrangement with a male friend?

How very transphobic to suggest that women cannot be fathers?

I've never heard the like.

AngryAttackKittens · 11/09/2018 20:49

Or for Northern China, hot soy milk and a fried dough thing that's sort of like a doughnut, but shaped like a yumyum.

For Japan, rice, grilled/broiled fish, and miso soup.

For the northern part of Vietnam, pho! Though that's an awful lot of work...

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 11/09/2018 20:49

Oh yes french pastries...of course

Blobfishlady · 11/09/2018 20:49

I was at a performance thing last week and heard someone in the ladies saying ‘I bet all the trans folk won’t be identifying as women when they see the queues for the ladies at intervals. In fact I might start identifying as a bloke whenever I go to the theatre so I don’t miss half the show.’

I sniggered and assumed it was one of you lot.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 11/09/2018 20:50

Right

Changed my mind about japan...i dont think thats going to go down very well

Both literally and figuratively

BeUpStanding · 11/09/2018 20:51

Whenever anyone talkes about 3 types of loo i always figure I'll go into the unisex one

I bet itll be half empty

AngryAttackKittens · 11/09/2018 20:52

Don't ask strangers about their genitals, it's very rude and nothing to do with their gender anyway! But definitely ask older lesbians how they came to have children, whether conception involved shagging a man or not, and if the sperm donor was gay. This is a totally normal and polite way to interact with randoms.

AngryAttackKittens · 11/09/2018 20:53

I think Denmark also involves sweet pastry, for those who don't fancy cooking in the morning.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 11/09/2018 20:53

Ooh nice beupstanding thanks

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 20:54

Lesbians? Having children?

(You have to imagine I said this in a Judi Dench as Queen Victoria voice)

BettyDuMonde · 11/09/2018 20:58

I’m thinking the handbag scene in the Importance of Being Earnest -

‘A HANDBAG?’

tobee · 11/09/2018 21:01

Churros and a glass of red in Spain anyone?

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 21:01

Yes, I was sort of torn between the two, but I went for Queen Vic as she so famously couldn't get her head around the idea that women could have sex. Bless.

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 21:02

With each other, that is. I'm fairly sure she understood women having sex in general.
