Ailments, being skint...I wonder what they all talk about at meet ups, best debobbler, how to get sweat out of polyester…

It’s VERY late but this would be a perfect thread title!Missing belt and bobbly - an autobiography
Bon Marche ones are actually cotton so much friendlier for sweaty days than the other lycra type onesSlightly off topic (although the under pops comments reminded me), I need to get some shorts for under my dresses…I normally get snag tights chub rub shorts but since finding the rank snag page they’ve put me off a bit and they’ve also put them up £1.50 a pair…any suggestions?!
Dan is 40. There was a whole thing on the birthday. I'll see if I can find it.I have nothing against Danielle personally.
But this same essay popping up in five or six groups that I’m part of is BORING.
Also don’t think I’ve ever heard an adult woman talk about “girlhood” in the way that trans women seem to do. It’s fascinating to me.
How old is Danielle? Do we know? Certainly over about 40 I would think? Far out of “girlhood”.
It really winds me up that people like Danielle seem to think that the only way to define womanhood is with the colour pink and sparkles. It's actually quite a misogynistic viewpoint because all it does is reinforce gender stereotypes. Also, calling herself a "girl" is so demeaning, if she truly believes herself to be a woman she wouldn't use such infantile language, but then again she hasn't lived her life as a woman, she's lived it as a privileged white man who doesn't know what it's like to be female. Do you see men calling themselves boys?I have nothing against Danielle personally.

Sorry to get on my soapbox, but wearing pink and using she/her pronouns doesn't automatically make you female in the ways we all think. Danielle may well have experienced discrimination as a trans woman, but she can't understand women's in the same way that I can understand trans issues. To try and claim "womanhood" is plain insulting and infuriating.
I'm much the same though I do like pink, often in terms face PINK, as an extension of my lifelong favourite purple.
I can take or leave TS, and if I did I would have no interest in swapping friendship bracelets (I find it very cringe in people that no longer have a teen in their age) and I own nothing that is pink. Am I to hand in my woman card?
Yeah it was always Sindy I was bought too. I also like pink and I did make my friend and her daughter TS friendship bracelets when we went to see the Eras movie but I wasn’t exchanging them with strangers.I'm much the same though I do like pink, often in terms face PINK, as an extension of my lifelong favourite purple.
I did buy myself a Barbie for my 40th birthday because I always had a Sindy instead (good middle class gel Sindy) while I desperately wanted a Barbie with all her tacky trailer trash clothes in artificial fibres when I was actually a girl.
Better tights ones are on offer at the minute, I keep seeing them advertised on FacebookSlightly off topic (although the under pops comments reminded me), I need to get some shorts for under my dresses…I normally get snag tights chub rub shorts but since finding the rank snag page they’ve put me off a bit and they’ve also put them up £1.50 a pair…any suggestions?!
I see nothing wrong whatsoever with the person who got a Barbie for their 40th birthday going into a career where they’re working with children. Definitely not a red flag of any kind..Dan is 40. There was a whole thing on the birthday. I'll see if I can find it.

Get ready for The Birthday Post.... I'll spare you the 8 photos
"ruining the whole jumpsuit for me" honestly, if I can't see it, I don't care, I'm very low maintenanceJust saw this. I despair of humanity. Your shoulders are simply narrower than the jumpsuit or you have a smaller bust so there is excess fabric that is pooling at the back... plus it's gaping because it's poorly drafted and badly made. They're all so shocked about it. Has nobody ever had a piece of clothing that doesn't fit everywhere. DEAR GOD!

See I’m very supportive of the trans community but I do agree here. It’s almost like wearing a “girl” costume.It really winds me up that people like Danielle seem to think that the only way to define womanhood is with the colour pink and sparkles.
