Transphobic attitudes contradict the good feminism does everyday

[Blamonge]

Why is there such a large portion of the feminist movement so against trans culture. Trans people have been some of the biggest advocates for supporting allegedly oppressed groups. Why is it suddenly okay to for feminists (a formally oppressed group) to oppress trans people (currently oppressed group) why?

Tim Tams are much overrated. They’re way too sweet and don’t taste of much. The texture is nice though.

The best Australian biscuit is the Lemon Crisp. Sweet lemon filling, crisp, salty biscuits. I have a rainy day project is recreating them as a non-industrial biscuit.

Is blancmange the same thing as junket? I liked that as a kid. The little tablets are rennet, like for setting cheese - I think you can still buy them, vanilla and raspberry flavoured.

And for those of you dissing rice pudding. Make it up at night, cover the top well and let it cook overnight it a low oven (or your wood stove after you shut it down for the night). The sugar caramelises, and then you can eat it for breakfast with a drizzle of cream.

A bit- junket is a softer set.

The sherry is not "optional"

I love this recipe.

I also love the really, thick, cold caramelised rice pudding you can buy in Normandy and Picardy. I've not been able to replicate it. Or the fantastic school dinner rice pudding. I don't know what the dinner ladies did to it.

I also love rice pudding. If it isn't delicious it wasn't made properly!

I'm saving that one Dido, thank you.

Rice pudding is brilliant. I can go to bed less nauseated now.

I learn so many things here many horrifying... such as bubble tea is COLD & MILKY whyyyyy??! Cold yes, milky sure, both??!! Hell no

I'm making that chocolate orange thing.
You won’t regret it
Two jelly packs made up with half the usual water plus 200g choc chips, tin of evaporated milk
The evaporated milk whips up better if very cold & the jelly/chocolate mixture should be a thicker than egg white consistency before you beat the milk in.

Yes, I know I'm super-late.

I don't get why it's called a phobia. It doesn't seem to be on the same lines as (example) arachnophobia or claustrophobia.
Shouldn't it be an ist? Like racist.

I make this in the microwave at half power in 30 second bursts stirring between each.
Beat one or two ounces of granulated sugar into three eggs.
Heat 12 ounces cream (355 ml) to 150f or 65c.
Pour slowly into eggs while whisking constantly.
Heat to 160f 71c.
Stir in 6 oz chopped chocolate or two teaspoons vanilla. Either is delish. Sometimes I pour half into another bowl and make half vanilla and half chocolate.
Put plastic food wrap right down on surface to prevent crust developing.
Chill it and serve with whipped cream or eat it warm with popovers/vanilla yorkshires.

Thanks Gibbons

That sounds good TheBewildernessisWeetabix.

I love all things custard or custard adjacent. A friend and I once cooked a three course dinner based entirely on custard.

In the old days, when friends weren’t the vectors for a horrible death.

I don't get why it's called a phobia. It doesn't seem to be on the same lines as (example) arachnophobia or claustrophobia.

I assume it is labelled ’phobia’ to appear as if it were a natural extension of ‘homophobia’.

I have been told (but this is purely anecdotal; no veracity guaranteed) that ‘homophobia’ used to be reached for as a mitigating explanation for men murdering gay men in the US. The defence would be that the other man being homosexual ‘at him’, made the murderer fear that he himself had become gay in the presence of such homosexuality.

So the defendant was gripped by irrational fear of homosexuality, which caused him to murder the homosexual man, to remove the cause of the fear.

I am told this defence did result in shorter sentences. I have no idea whether it is true, but it would explain the ‘phobia’ wording of ‘homophobia’, and thus why TRAs are catching a ride off the backs of achievements made by lesbian and gay rights advocates by using the same wording.

I’ve never had milk in bubble tea... usually they are peach or other fruit flavoured in these parts. Sometimes with exotic herb additives. Cold. Balls. No milk.
I’m no connoisseur mind.

Ok this thread is properly funny.

"Chewy tea", is like a euphemism for sick.

Weird things to make with milk. It could be a new YouTube concept.

Mix milk with cuprinol for an all purpose skin softening tanning lotion.

Take some cottage cheese and dunk a spoonful in your camomile for a chunky bedtime drink.

Tired of food with a pleasant texture? Eat this fecking blancmange.

Fecking blancmange produced involuntary noises. 🤣

Not "against trans culture" (glad to see that you recognise it as a culture and not a reality). I'm simply for facts.

And the fact is that women cannot turn into men and men cannot turn into women.
HTH.

Totally on topic

And yes, of course, to this.

You can’t self-define into oppression, you mad bastard

Absolutely agree Datun! Trying to get some peace and quiet before day of chaos begins and a sure my sniggering is going to awaken the rest of the household! Chewy tea and chunky milk 😆🤢

I think these puddings, like semolina, rice pudding etc. started off as a way to get milk, and calories, into your kids if they wouldn't drink the stuff or were fussy eaters.

I do recall an acquaintance who said his mother was of the belief that children should have a milk pudding every day and rotated one of these tapioca/semolina/rice etc puddings for lunch EVERY day of his childhood. Needless to say, it was not a happy memory.

I'm not knocking British style tea but it's not really the thing you want if it's hot and humid and you're walking around in the sun. Shame on you!! Tea is always someone l want regards of weather... ☕(But with milk!)

Also re blancmange - that rubbery skin. The stuff of horrors.
A girl called Tracy who was rather cool, (her Dad was a diplomat in the Bahamas and she was somewhat rebellious) scooped all the trifle that had been topped with pink blancmange out of the serving bowl (we had one for each table of ten) and wrote "Pink Snot" with it in the empty serving bowl.
Cook was massively affronted when the bowl returned to the kitchen and we were all imprisoned in the dining room and had to file out one by one and own up. Washing up for a week she cost our table.

All I've gotten from this thread is that Bubble Tea might be worth a try.
Are the shops what sell it still open right now?

Bubble tea is good, the bubbles are little tapioca pearls soaked in a flavoured liquid until they swell up like jellies. So you drink your drink and get little bursts of flavour.

I don't get why it's called a phobia. It doesn't seem to be on the same lines as (example) arachnophobia or claustrophobia.

This ^ absolutely.

This thread, like many others here, make me once again long for a "like" option on MN.

It also makes me long for Crème Brûlée, which is my absolute favourite pudding. Will try that from scratch today.
