Transphobic attitudes contradict the good feminism does everyday

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?

I like the tapioca that comes in bubble tea. The old timey pudding not so much.

AlunWynsKnee · 08/04/2020 23:48

Why does all of this semi liquid stuff constitute food? Anything that develops 'skin' is grim. Even warm milk left to get skin is vile.

FlamingoAndJohn · 08/04/2020 23:48

It was more paste like I think, a gritty paste. Unlike tapioca which was more like Rice pudding.

IAmFleshIAmBone · 08/04/2020 23:48

prodigalkittens yes, those tapioca pearls are fine, except when they shoot up the straw and choke you Grin

In Australia, we made semolina as porridge for breakfast. But it makes great honey soaked cakes.

Love grilled (ie set firm) cheesy polenta too.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 08/04/2020 23:49

I remember being served something in school called semolina, but yes, it was in fact tapioca or sago. But semolina was definitely what the dinner ladies called it. Strange.

I think ours was in fact tapioca too, not sure why it was called semolina. Horrible texture, so like Errol I just tried to pick the jam out and looked on in horror as other people mixed theirs in.

What's WBH?

Pure concentrated evil in breakfast form.

Winesalot · 08/04/2020 23:50

The tapioca in bubble tea reminds me of fish eyes. Envy (not envy)

TinselAngel · 08/04/2020 23:50

My Mum used to put a dash of rose hip syrup in my orange squash when I was little (it was the 70's).

FloralBunting · 08/04/2020 23:51

WBH is Weetabix mashed with bananas and warm milk, known as Weetabix Banana Horror. It was beloved of LangCleg, late of this FWR parish, now gone to less constructing environs, and much missed.

TinselAngel · 08/04/2020 23:51

We don't miss the WBH though .

Turquoiseeyes · 08/04/2020 23:51

If WHB is used as grout, the tiles will stay for 40+ years. My child used to eat 7 W for breakfast, it's really funny now because his children love W not with the BH I hasten to add.

FloralBunting · 08/04/2020 23:52

Right, that's it.

What the bloody hell is bubble tea?

TinselAngel · 08/04/2020 23:53

If you grouted with WBH your bathroom would smell of rancid banana Envy (still not envy)

DidoLamenting · 08/04/2020 23:53

Itis also good to coat chips and potatoes to make them crunchy

It is.

I can't be bothered Googling but rice, tapioca, sago and semolina are all different aren't they?

Rice is obviously rice. Tapioca is from the cassava root. Semolina is wheat based and I can't remember where sago comes from.

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

ErrolTheDragon · 08/04/2020 23:53

I've just had to google 'bubble tea' .Confused

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 08/04/2020 23:53

7? I used to do 2 and I'm not known for small portions.

Postspecific · 08/04/2020 23:53

What? Where did Lang go?

R0wantrees · 08/04/2020 23:53

Do you remember blancmange rabbits with green jelly grass?

Oh yes, only for special treats like birthdays though.
A lovely memory, thank you.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 08/04/2020 23:54

So bubble tea isn't a thing where you are yet, Floral and Errol? You can't go more than a few streets without tripping over a shop here.

isabellerossignol · 08/04/2020 23:55

I've hung round these parts for years and was familiar with LangCleg but had somehow missed the weetabix business. Sounds OK to me. I was about 25 before I discovered that it was normal to eat Weetabix cold. My mum only ever gave it to me with hot milk, so that's just how I always had it too!

FloralBunting · 08/04/2020 23:55

I don't want to google. I'm.having a conversation with women who clearly know what bubble tea is so I'm asking.

I am trepidacious.

IAmFleshIAmBone · 08/04/2020 23:55

Bubble tea or pearl milk tea, it's a drink made from milk, kind of like a milkshake, and has tapioca balls in the bottom, like little round jellies

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 08/04/2020 23:56

It's just tea, often with milk and usually sweetened, with big balls of tapioca in it. Much loved by teenagers in most of Asia.

IAmFleshIAmBone · 08/04/2020 23:56

It's actually really delicious although it doesn't sound it
