Thought people might be interested in this article. One thing that strikes me is the 'reducing women to their biology' argument. Don't transwomen 'know' they're not male because their body feels wrong? Then it is about biology isn't it? Otherwise why do they think they're female?

CINNAMON!!!
Ofgs
What next

Of course it's a toxic hotbed! What do people expect?

It's a seething mass of bloody women - having periods, having sex, having babies, breastfeeding, or not! And the ones who are past all that are probably farting loudly in public with no embarrassment whatsoever.

Bloody women who gather to talk!

Black Pudding = yum
Bacon = yum
Porridge = yum
Square Sausage on Glasgow Roll with brown sauce = yum
Potato Scones fried in butter = yum

Any combination of cereal/banana/hot milk = boak

Sorry not sorry.

It’s my fault! I left the electric blanket on and it’s all been a terrible misunderstanding.

hipster

That would explain the sweating

Its like a fucking splash zone in here

Toxic hot tub?

Is this hot bed a single sex space.....don’t want to share

Absolutely. Human females only in this hotbed.

Shall we go and monitor something....whets that army forum called???

Queen, you want to monitor ARRSE?

I only sleep on flanelette Rufus. I'd imagine the Queen is the same.

Flannelette, even! It's so old fashioned the spell check can't cope with it.

Its been a relevation tinsel

It's so cosy.

Does anyone actually like porridge?

Yes, with golden syrup and demerara sugar on top.

It's so cosy

Absolutely

And i can put my feet to the bottom of the bed straight away!!!

I'm not peri yet so I don't mind going in the middle somewhere.

I'm post so I'm happy to join you in the middle, provided I can have porridge for breakfast.

Im not going in the middle

I wee

A lot

Not in bed

But I'll need a quick escape

I like a double bed so I can swap sides for a change of scenery. I don't know why and when I started folding the pillow over, so no advice there I’m afraid

Is it bad that I read the entire thread without reading the linked article?

Am I missing out?

Nah.
Waah waah biological essentialism waah waah reducing women to genitals waah why are they so mean.

I only made it halfway thru. Doubt it improved.

Theres an article?

Oops

I think might be the mis-spelling of 'mums' that's putting me off.

Okay, thanks. Thought it was interesting that Marc Almond turned up on a thread earlier then did a big reveal - maybe i'll read that instead.

When I had my uterus out I'm pretty sure there was some biology involved, and that I'm still a woman. I don't bleed all over my hotbed any more though, which is rather a relief tbh.

Which thread??
