More Cupcakes & Rosemary McLeod is Awful

This is better than a picture of McLeod's face.

Rosemary McLeod is AWFUL. AWFUL. And not awful in that, 'oh she's always stirring up debate and controversy by telling it like it is' way- she is just a straight up nasty bigot.

Her column in the newspaper disgusted me so much I was genuinely confused about how it had gotten printed for about five minutes until I remembered it was the Dom Post I was reading.

Here's the article. If you haven't read it, it's essentially a page long stream of vitriol about transgender people who have the audacity to think they can raise families and openly present their gender. She calls trans a Californian 'trend'; refuses to refer to the subjects of the article by their preferred pronouns, and bemoans the fate of children with trans parents. 

Rosemary McLeod is a cruel, ignorant woman and I hope she gets fired. But, she probably won't because controversy sells papers, even if it's bordering on hate speech. Still, if you want to tell the Dom Post to do the right thing for once, write to them at letters@dompost.co.nz. 

If you write a really good one, email a copy to me at francesratner@gmail.com and I'll send you  voucher for a free cupcake at my Mighty Mighty Market stand :)

Annnnnd we're back to cupcakes...

wheeeee! fudgy!

I baked these gorgeous fudge cupcakes tonight because I'm still very stressed and I needed to bake. They're delicious- mass amounts of butter, eggs and cocoa, plus I stirred in bonus ganache from last night endeavor. You know who won't be getting any? ROSEMARY MCLEOD. I HATE YOU.
