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?

Why is it called tea?

I'm in Lancashire. Rural. Proper tea shops though we usually take a flask.

Why would anyone want tea with a straw and bits in?

Sometimes instead of the tapioca it has jelly. DH loves the kind called grass jelly, which is not made of grass - no idea what it's flavored with actually but it's good, though I prefer the coconut jelly.

Sorry yes, it's made with tea, hence the name. Usually milky I think, I've only seen them made with milk

It's called tea because the liquid bit is made of tea, usually. Sometimes they mix it with fruit juice.

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. Bubble tea comes with ice.

I haven't had a pearl milk tea in about ten years, this thread is making me very nostalgic, thanks OP!

Jelly in tea? So the tea is cold?

Oh my good god.

Milky tea with fruit juice and tapioca? That is dry fecking boak inducing.

I think bubble tea is more of a thing in cities with a high population of students from the Far East, isn't it? (Are we still allowed to call China Etc that?)

I don't fancy it. (Lumpy warm milkshake, when I don't even like non lumpy, cold milkshake )

Yep, iced tea! You can get it hot if you want but yuck.

Oh I'd assumed it was warm. Still don't want lumpy milky tea cold.

But yeah it's a hot humid climate thing, started in Taiwan.

I guess it's not for everyone but it's very refreshing

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.

That's not the kind of attitude that built the empire kittens

Ah well... If you caught the 'Lancashire' part you can probably estimate the local requirement for bubble tea.

Oh, it's not warm? Slightly better. Marginally.

I don't like milky tea, though. Can't imagine I'd like it more cold with teeny fish eye beads in it.

Example for those who're wondering what the hell this looks like.

Not to mention the choking hazard which is definitely worth it

Forget bubble tea. There is nothing like a lime iced tea freshly made in Bangkok.

But balls in tea ....

My mum used to send me to school with two Weetbix with butter in between. (Yes Weetbix not Weetabix). She used to have hot water and milk over her Weetbix with sliced banana every morning.

Riiight. So it's cold tea for when you want to pretend you're holding a beer instead?

Just cold milk and sugar for me please (on the Weetabix). I haven't had it in years, nostalgic now!

Mind you I would eat tapioca above caviar. That is a texture I cannot handle.

Weetabix... Even the smell makes me feel ill
