No lawyer would get so riled about being questioned without there being something else going on in the background. I suspect George has a serious case of Cognitive Dissonance. Either that or really bad toothache.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. There are some interesting inconsistencies there.

No, it really is not. If in your mind it's 'anti trans' then that makes you anti women. Because it's a pro womens rights forum. To protect womens rights and spaces. It's no more 'anti trans' than it is anti-men. It's interesting though that anti womens rights/pro mens rights crusaders have found a way around saying 'anti men'. Because they know if they said anti men they wouldn't look good. Slapping trans on it gives people an 'out'. They can say it's 'anti trans' and still look good without looking like the anti women misogynists they are. It gives a veneer of respectability to misogynistic views that it otherwise would not have.

Can you give an example of a statement that everyone who posts on FWR would agree on?

I mean, you can't, as we don't even all agree on which Tunnocks products are nicest, but if you mean what you say, give it a try!

I can offer freshly-pulled rhubarb, gently stewed with ginger and a splosh of maple syrup then folded into madagascan vanilla custard and served with a homemade shortbread finger. Am I in?

Are you fucking kidding?! If you're not in I'm coming to burgle your kitchen.

Several people on here don't have gender identities that they consider align with their sex. Are these people anti-trans because of this?

It's a pity our posts crossed, SnowFrogJelly, mine pointed out that we support transpeople having the same human rights as anyone else, but you had obviously posted yours before reading it.

I'm anticipating the AI picture from Beetle of Arabella in a burglar outfit (complete with swag bag) half inching the dessert!

ArabellaScott · 22/06/2025 12:31

a lot of people on this forum are not very nice

Hey-ho. Not everyone in the world has to be nice to everyone in the internet.

Anyway, right now I am discovering jelly in a big way, so I will attempt a very complicated and impressive blackcurrant jelly with pistachio shortbread. Just as soon as I find the perfect ceramic jelly mould.

The Reddit trip looks like it's been 82d, so we'll have to have the Picnic For Nasty Women elsewhere.

I’ve got a Victorian rabbit jelly mould if you like?

My blackcurrants are bonkers this year - I would definitely say I’ve got a glut - although I’ve been mainly eating them straight off the bush. I love the sound of your jelly/shortbread combo - it might be even more delicious if it’s in the shape of a rabbit.

Can i come too - I can bring some more rhubarb, a load of blackcurrants and some baby courgette - the makings of a midnight feast? (If Arabella does her burglary at night, although coffee time might work better?)

Ooh excellent. The USA Supreme Court stated that they had no idea what Trans even was, perhaps you could explain. What is it?

I've got 2 thornless blackberry plants and the numbers of fruits on the is insane. I might take a photo later.

Oh hello. Please do tell us what it is that you personally disagree with. I posted a list yesterday but no one has responded yet. Maybe you can be the first. I’ll even post it again if you like.

Amazing! I like the sound of thornless blackberry. My blackcurrant is DENSE with blackcurrants - I’ve been see seen anything like it. The cucumbers are going crazy too.

Looks like we’re in for a bumper year of everything! Maybe we could have a MN Horticultural Show later in the year.

So unlike the Trans subreddit. Which is a hotbed of debate and argument! 😄

We could all have the picnic in my kitchen, if you like, while we wait for the weather at reddit to improve. Could also plan a MN Horticultural Show while we watch Arabella steal the rhubarb and save Boiled from drowning in custard.

This clique thing is fun.

SlackJawedDisbeliefXY · 22/06/2025 13:22

Most people agree that 1+1=2, or that you drop something and it falls downwards, or that the earth is a sphere rather than flat.

Are all these people also guilty of being part of a group-think clique or are they just stating fact?
