Courting the far right is wrong....

...if you follow that with a ‘but’ to justify Posie Parker’s courting of the far right, then you are a fascist.

I said I would only post one thing on this board. I kept that promise.

But this is the pits right here. Posie Parker is seeking funding and making deals with white supremacist, crypto fascists, misogynists, homophobes and racists. How does this not show you what your movement is and has always been?

You need to look at yourselves. If your response is anything other than total rejection of posie Parker and all the groups she is involving herself with, then you are just as bad. If you think that trans people/‘trans activists’ are worse than Tommy Robinson, ultra trump supporters and others who spew far right views then you are a racist, sexist, homophobic nightmare. Those labels equally describe what a person is as well as what a person does.

“But what about TRA’s?” Some of you will want to scream at me.

You don’t see Paris Lees going off to get funding from literal fascists. Hell, Caitlin Jenner votes for trump and the global trans community has never and will never forgive her. And either way, none of what “they” do will magically make it okay to go suck up to people that think gay people should be sterilised or that Muslim’s are evil.

Transphobia is revolting. It’s wrong, and it comes as no surprise to hear that transphobia (which most of you peddle right here) will eventually push people towards other kinds of hate.

Take a long hard look at yourselves. I’m a transgender woman, a mum, and I hope at least some of you are seriously thinking about what kind of person you want to be.

You gotta hand it to Posie. She gets TRAs spluttering with rage, absolutely desperate to stop her.

But yet again their rants only serve to discredit them. Every single time.

What is this famous Weetabix Banana Horror, please?

I like meeting new people and exploring the different perspectives and beliefs people have, and I extend that same attitude to food.

Remind me who’s pushing for the sterilisation of gay youth? Fucksake.

SuperLoudPoppingAction · 26/01/2019 10:36

Who's the LGBT activist who says lesbians can't have children, again? I forget.

This is FWRs equivalent to staring in a mirror saying "bloody Mary" over and over agai.

papayasareyum · 26/01/2019 10:37

has the OP been back with evidence yet, or happy just to trot out hashtag no debate ad nauseum?

AngryAttackKittens · 26/01/2019 10:38

OP engaged early in the thread. It wasn't very impressive.

CarolinePooter · 26/01/2019 10:39

My MIL used to store Christmas cakes for years. We never quite caught up. She also had Camp coffee, and sliced Nimble bread which was basically air.

Weetabix, hot milk, mashed banana. Mix.

Liking it makes me the pariah of the forum, but I am unabashed!

No, it's fine for them to call themselves mothers, y'know, because some women adopt and they never got pg either. It's totes just like that.

hipsterfun · 26/01/2019 10:41

Are toast soldiers still soldiers if you put Marmite on them?

Potentially, a problematic appropriation of wholemealness.

Am I the only one who has live yogurt with honey for breakfast?
I'll live a long time me.

Anewoneforme · 26/01/2019 10:43

I blame "the naughty step".
Some poor folks have obviously grown up believing that is what you do to everyone who does what you don't want them to do. Internalised toddler logic.

So they want is to put PP on the naughty step and isolate and ignore her. Well I'm sorry to break it to you but I'm not her mother. She's a grown up and entitled to do as she pleases within the law. I actually don't agree with a lot of what she does, but that's probably just my female socialisation showing Blush

Horsewithnoman · 26/01/2019 10:43

Banana and peanut butter on toast. Yum.

WeRiseUp · 26/01/2019 10:44

Can you lot stop making me so bloody hungry please.

hipsterfun · 26/01/2019 10:45

Camp coffee is the business with cold milk and ice. And the label isn’t a bit racist any more so it’s fine.

userschmoozer · 26/01/2019 10:46

I'm far too squeamish to eat live yoghurt.

Datun · 26/01/2019 10:46

Banana and peanut butter on toast. Yum.

Oh God, yes. That's absolutely done it. My tastebuds weren't connecting with the words, until I read that.

WeRiseUp · 26/01/2019 10:49

It's totes just like that.

You're right. Just like the ordeal of invasive medical poking about and mental upheaval of female infertility...

FactsAreNotMean · 26/01/2019 10:49

So sick of this shit, of people demanding some sort of ideological purity from women. I'll decide whether I agree with someone or not on individual issues - I'm fed up of being told that it's not OK to support someone's view on issue X because they held a view on issue Y which is deemed unacceptable.

I also would not trust any TRA to define fascism, since their definition of fascist seems to be "anyone who disagrees with us"

merrymouse · 26/01/2019 10:50

I'm sorry 'remember' Camp Coffee???

Well I remember that I have some Camp Coffee in my cupboard for making coffee and walnut cake!

From the bottle "A must-have versatile ingredient in every kitchen - perfect for baking and great for coffee based drinks."

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 26/01/2019 10:51

And the label isn’t a bit racist any more so it’s fine.

Just like Kia Ora then.

An electric egg boiler will be the answer to perfect soft boiled eggs.
AAK
All Bran is vile but I'm trying to give up my slab of butter with a little bit of toast underneath. Also slab of butter is adorned with Frank Coopers Original Oxford marmalade

Yes I find it fascinating that she is so gender non-conforming in that regard. She gives no fucks but on the other hand puts the make up on with a trowel just joking if you're reading Posie. It really messes with people's minds. I love it.

Tunnock's Tea Cakes are hard to categorise.
