Mumsnet (or Momsnet? poster not sure) gets a special mention because although our posts might seem reasonable at first, they hide an underlying "hateful garbage" aimed at persuading "honest nice women."

For clarity, this MNetter does not wish any trans person out of existence. I do wish trans people happy lives free from discrimination in housing, employment, etc. I am not concerned about potential grandchildren.

Don't write off Grant's tinned haggis, it's a great camping food.

I don't mind Halls Lord but McSweens is much better as you say.

I've never tried the tinned stuff, it kinda scares me...

I think you're all right about the fact that if we described everything we eat as it truly is, we probably wouldn't eat much of it!

Back when I was a medical student and was spending hours in the anatomy lab dissecting human cadavers, I couldn't eat any meat. I would look at it and, honestly, it looked just like what I was doing in the lab. And there was a similar smell, especially with preserved meats. Being a vegetarian wasn't half bad!

I was fine with trans until they repeatedly told me: 1) I am not allowed to define womanhood for myself or in any way that makes them even slightly different from me, biology or logic be damned, or I am literally a "bigot" who should be killed"; and 2) I am less oppressed than them and should spend my time and energy standing up for them and put all their poor oppressed issues first and put my stupid female bodied issues last or I am being "cis-centric".

Sounds like male-patterned bald-faced arseyness to me.
