San Francisco Chronicle ^ | March 8, 2019 | Maura Judkis

If you can’t even figure out what sex you want to be, how in the hell are you going to make it as a food critic?

A restaurant owner who receives a poor review can rebut her review by saying that the food identified as good food.

Queer sounds like an understatement.

After someone tells you they are a queer woman of color, what could you say that “presses” them to reveal that they are pansexual? I’d bet they can’t wait to tell you.

Isn’t it cute when the babies ask for goo food? Goo goo goo!

Pansexual made me think of the old Peggy Lee song, “I’m a Woman”

“...Throw it in the skillet, do my shopping
Be back before it melts in the pan
‘Cause I’m a woman
W O M A N
I’ll say it again...

And _that_ reminds me of all of the 70’s “women’s empowerment” sit-coms of the 70’s: Mary Tyler Moore, Maude, Good Times, Rhoda, Phyllis, One Day At A Time, Alice... Murphy Brown was at the tail end of all that.

You should have kept reading. At the end, they reveal this “queer”, “pansexual” is married (gasp!) to a man! The hypocrisy and preening moral superiority oozes out of every paragraph. That’s modern liberalism for you- lacking self-awareness.

Very patronizing title and article.

Why pigeonhole her like that?

“Tell me if the food is goo or not” Ewww, yuck. Was that a typo? Either way it is the post of the day, not only witty but probably true for San Fran.

Yeah, “You go, girl!”

Damn, can’t say girl anymore, either. Unless you are one of them.

By the way, I saw an interview on youtube of Helen Reddy from 2011. Living alone in an apartment, having gotten rid of all her mementos. Apparently her ex was a cocaine user and gambled most of her money away.

Now see she has dementia and in a nursing home:

She’s going to review restaurants based on class, gender, sex blah blah blah. Who needs to know that. Tell me if the food is goo or not.
