I had the shortest speech but the author included two photos of me. I was referred to by first name only, unlike the other speakers, and Soleil Ho left out any mention of Exulansic. The food critic (@hooleil on Twitter) discussed how she even vomited after the event. She already had me blocked in Twitter, so I don't think she's completely in the dark about who I am and where to find me. Although Erin Friday introduced me as a desister, that Ho upgraded me to detransitioner.
Here's the video of the full event. My speech is at the end followed by the Q&A:
I still don’t know what’s at the root of anti-trans politicking.
Here's the SF Chronicle article.
Link to mirror without a paywall.
I had four of the cookies, since I arrived late and missed the buffet (accident on the bridge), and I can confirm that they were not stale.
Here's her haircut, which she thought was so queer she would surely get “fingered” by the Republicans.
I'm sure I'll never hear the end of my “ties to the far right” now.
Here is the group shot of the speakers.
Another poorly-written garbage "article" attacking the food, the venue, the speakers, etc. but offering nothing substantive in return. If she did vomit it was likely a visceral response to seeing the results of gender affirming surgeries for the first time.
that's some serious 'aren't i special and edgy???' going on! clue, dear. you're just another girl with a chin-length uncombed bob and what looks like a kind of cute shirt with little squirrels on it. she doesn't look particularly quirky, by bay area and gen-Z or whatever she is standards. does she think she looks 'queer,' or think she is 'trans'?
she did not vomit. food 'critics' are healthy people who don't suffer from food sensitivities. by definition. but she does know how to damage the reputation of a restaurant needlessly, bringing business ire to her employer.
