I thought this must be a wind up in a Daily Express article but turns out to be true.

Other items include lawn signs reading “In this house we don’t mourn dead transphobes”

Mims Davies MP, the Shadow Women’s Minister, said: “My actual first thought was who actually relaxes with a cup of tea with a death threat on to women?

“This is appalling and, once the item is quickly removed from sale, serious questions need to be asked.”

Is Prosecco the title of an opera by Puccini? Or perhaps a mathematical variable?

I seem to recall that our nocturnal visitor once confused italics and caps, so I doubt he has thought it through.

Just imagining the final few bars of Nessun Dorma as Prosecco, rather than Vincero

'Prosecco!, Prosecco!
Prosecco!'

(Orchestra swells behind the singer, big bow, roses thrown etc etc)

Or as Margaret Atwood famously said: "Men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them."

With good reason.

And this is quite weird from Etsy, which must have a largely female customer base.

I've never drunk prosecco in my life and I'm as TERFY as they come.

Agreed. I'm totally sick of these losers ruining what could be interesting threads. Can't we just ignore them? We know the drill by now surely?

You realise MA believes TWAW right? Oh wait…

Yup, enough with biddy blabbering about Baileys!

That mug has a horrible big handle & the rim looks really thick.
It would be awful to hold and drink from.

The punishment for buying the vile design is having to have your brew in it.

Those trans people who come into my house (and yes, there are some) are perfectly at liberty to use the bathroom. They can also use the toilet.

If they limit their movement because of the moral panic transactivists spread, that's on them.

What is identity?

What is self determination, and do any of us have it?

Denial of cross-sex hormones and cosmetic surgery is not denial of care, it is limitation of self harm.

What basic civilities? Do you mean lying politely?

Ummm no. No ome is denying anyone use of a bathroom. There are no public bathrooms in the uk. We have them in our houses. Do you mean toilets? Again. No one is denying anyone use if a toilet. They can happily use any mixed gender toilet relevant to their sex. Who is locking transpeople up in places? They are free to go wherever they like as long as it’s not a space designated for the opposite sex. As far as I know, basic civilities isn’t a right. You seem very confused. Maybe time for a nice cup of tea and a biscuit.

Biddy is both ageist and sexist. Well done.

And what's Ed Gein?
A little self reflection seems to be in order…

I believe in the laws of the market so I won’t be complaining to Etsy about this stuff

frankly if people who enjoy role playing as members of the opposite sex want to spend their money on this stuff and also tell the world that mugs with threats to kill and stab people are a-ok with them I’m all good with that

the more contact the wider world has with ‘trans’ people the better

The worst edition Baileys so far was probably the mint one.

Haagen-Dazs used to do Bailey's ice cream. I would've thought that'd be v popular so I wonder what happened?

At least he hasn’t unleashed his casual homophobia and misogyny yet. I presume that’s being saved for later.

"misogyny "

Like calling a cis woman who doesn't agree with you a 'man'?

I do like the Aldi Baileys fake. I actually prefer it, especially in hot chocolate. Real Baileys is a bit too strong for me. I’m a lightweight.

Exactly. People are free to sell and buy them, but then they have to accept they will be judged for it. If I’m round a friend’s house and see that, I won’t be associating with that person again, however lovely they may have seemed. No one who supports killing another person for their beliefs is worth bothering with

your licence to write any German is revoked.

Mad in German is also Mad in common parlance. See also verrückt. It is spelled without an e, and is never "pluralised" like that.
You can add an S to foreign "words" to make a plural if you like. Plural of TERF is TERFs.

So you can have:
Die mad TERF (singular)
or
Die mad TERFs (plural)

no. Your echo chamber is tedious.

did you do it in a Thermomix? I move in cheffy circles and a lot of them use a Thermomix at work for lots of things.
But everyone i know (i am not in the UK) use it to make Eierlikör (Egg nog) and not much else...

and yet we can still agree that what she said was accurate.

You see that is the difference between TRAs who have to have 100% compliance and purity, and regular women who can recognise that people can be right about some things, and wrong (so very very wrong) about others.

Too difficult for the TRAs among us to recognise that?

Your'e missing the point. MA perceives trans women as women effectively including them in that famous quote about fear.
