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?

In my experience, the only people that trans people have been advocates for supporting is themselves

Ah no, to be fair they have also supported the rights of those grown men who like to dress up as puppies to be allowed to roll round and play with young children. In public. In the name of 'acceptance'.

I was going to ask OP what it was like living on the ceiling

Nooooo! Now I can’t get 🎵 Knock Three Times 🎶 in my head! Dammit! I don’t even like country! 😭

• out of my head.

I've heard of blancmange but never actually seen it in the flesh, as it were.

I've been told we have a milk glut in my area. And I have jelly... 1970s experiment!!!

We used to have blancmange at primary school, but I don't think it was the real deal. It was just like pink custard. I think the real deal is more like milky jelly isn't it? I loved the pink custard mind you...

Blancmange is pretty wobbly in the flesh. A bit like this opening post. HTH

So just custard with food coloring in it? That doesn't sound horrible.

For those that don’t know what blancmange looks like, there ya go.

I have seen Blancmange in the flesh, it's pale pink and wibbly. I am a child of the 1958s onwards so yes I know the horror of Blancmange.

Yet, blancmange looked good, but then you tasted and it didn't quite deliver. Course, then angel delight came in and that was the end of it for me.

I'm sure I could work a metaphor in there somewhere, if only I could be arsed.

I think the stuff at school was maybe strawberry flavoured or similar. We had it with cake! But yeah, basically it was custard-y.

Ooh massive cross post

Oh god my granny used to make “pink pudding” which is strawberry jelly made with yogurt - a most unusual texture 😬

I on the other hand have just made the bread dough & put the fruit to soak for tea bread 😇

Yeah, but didn't taste of anything, not sweet enough, and wobbly, like jelly.

The 60s version of blancmange was too sweet, too pink, and essentially fake custard . Real custard needs eggs. (Coincidentally I'm eating baked egg custard for my supper at the moment. )

Crikey Errol, your blancmange sounds nothing like mine 😄

Why do so many trolls come to MN JAQing off?
We know why.

My DMs blancmange was like nothing on earth tbh.
And then there was milk jelly (made with condensed milk) and junket.

I ate my tinned fruit with nowt.

Why do you think feminists are no longer oppressed?

Proper blancmange is a milk pudding set with gelatine or carageen rather than eggs, as custard is.

I find it a bit slimy and not really worth the effort. It should be white, not pink but obviously you can add food colouring.

Re retro puddings a very nice one was jelly made up with half the quantity of water. When it's half-set whisk in evaporated milk to make up the missing quantity of liquid. It sets as a very light , fluffy, aerated pudd.

How can blancmange be pink? Perhaps it was really blamonge.

I am a child of the sixties and l have never had that dessert just lucky l guess

I REALLY hate the word blancmange.

This thread is the worst.

Ours was white. With possibly a splodge of jam in the middle. Looked good, tasted of nothing

So just custard with food coloring in it?

Not really. As there is no egg, blancmange doesn't have the same richness and the texture is different.
