What an agenda I had in the past week or so.
June 16 I celebrated the 26th anniversary of my last birthday (my last birthday being my 29th), and enjoyed a diet-busting piece of chocolate cake from North Park’s Heavenly Desserts.
Friday June 20, I went to Lake Cuyamaca to fish for trout and crappie. It turns out I didn’t have the fishing tackle I needed for crappie, but I still caught four trout. Even if I hadn’t caught any fish, it would have been an awesome day just for breathing in the pine forest around me there.
Saturday was a fun day too. I have a friend with an indoor home theater set-up, and once a month she hosts a lesbian film night, and this month it fell on the 21st. It’s a potluck, and my contributions were eggplant moussaka, which I made from scratch at home and the fixings to make lime freezes.
If you’ve never had a lime freeze, it’s a really simple summer drink – lime sherbet blended with soda water to end up with a drink that has just about the consistency of a fruit smoothie. It’s a great virgin drink, or one can add white rum or vodka to taste to give it a bit of a kick. I made about a dozen of these at the party, all but two virgin.
Oh. We saw the film Imagine Me & You. I hadn’t seen that film before, and it turns out I really liked it.
Monday June 23 I had my fake front tooth replaced. In 1977, my first job out of high school (did I mention I feel old?), was at the Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor that used to be in Northridge, Calif.. Working in the kitchen, I broke one of my two front teeth at the end of a shift in a cutting board accident. The cutting boards were fifteen inches wide and eight feet long, and when I went to put away the awkward sized board after cleaning, I hit it on a cutout. The board bounced back into my mouth and broke a front tooth. So, I had a root canal, then had an implant/fake tooth installed into my mouth. For only the third time since that accident, I had that fake front tooth replaced.
My agenda for the past week really wasn’t that noteworthy. It was just a bit of random, somewhat scheduled life for a retired woman.
But, of course, trans agendas can be nefarious things, apparently. Stella Morabito, writing for The Federalist, has a whopper of a conspiracy theory about an overarching trans agenda, and it sounds pretty nefarious to me. The title alone gave me goose bumps: How The Trans-Agenda Seeks To Redefine Everyone; The transgender movement has strong totalitarian overtones that Americans don’t fully understand.
There are some great lines in the piece, such as “erasing gender distinctions, especially as they apply to childbearing and rearing, would serve to legally un-define what it means to be human. A new legal definition of human – as neither male nor female –would apply to you whether you like it or not.” One paragraph … well, you just have to read it to get the full effect:
“Under the guise of “rights,” the transgender movement can serve as convenient cover for consolidating and centralizing power under an ever-expanding state. Once we allow the state to refuse to recognize that children result from the male-female union, we grant the state more power to separate us from our children. As power becomes more centralized in the state, the individuals and institutions of the state, inevitably flawed, end up owning our personal relationships. With weakened mediating institutions – family, churches, private associations – we lose the buffer zones that stand between individuals and an encroaching state.”
Reading the piece, I felt pretty Scooby-Do about it. After Stella allegedly unmasks us trans people, I feel like someone should be telling Velma and Mystery Inc. – I mean Stella and the Federalist gang – that “We trans people would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for those pesky federalists!”
I really, really recommend googling and reading the Federalist piece as it’s a real hoot.
Sometimes agendas aren’t very nefarious, but it can be fun to imagine such agendas. Boring agendas just aren’t as fun to read as conspiracy theories.
The agenda is to invade women’s spaces with penis packing men.
The agenda is to limit our freedom of speech by segrgating words and making their use only acceptable by those in the ghetto.
And Sandeen you know it

Yes, and those two are related. In order to carry out the first, they have to prevent people from being able to rationally discuss it. Any objections are labeled hate speech.
What happened to your sad excuse of a blog Jennifer? Ran out of hate speech? Or did you finally realize that only 3 actual people were reading it?
Meanwhile real activists like Autumn, not slacktivists like yourself, are fighting the good fight and making news. Jealous much?
Unlike some people, who have nothing to do but troll, I have been busy with my life. Besides, not much to write about. Sandeen? Making news? ROTFL!
Nope, not jealous. You see, unlike Sandeen, and you, I simply live my life as a woman. Why would I want to create a public spectacle?
Why would you want to create a public spectacle, Jennifer? You mean like your failed blog Just Jennifer? Do you mean that spectacle? Or do you mean the spectacle of your very own daughter denouncing you for a physical abuser on the interwebs? Or do you mean the spectacle of you, a 62 year old person trying to get a CompSci degree at San Francisco State knowing, according to your very own daughter, that you have never held down a full time job? Or the spectacle of you living in that druggie homeless shelter on Van Ness?
Which spectacle are you talking about Jennifer?
Nope, not failed. And hardly a spectacle. But, I do think I will need to do another article on you Lask. Make sure you pop up on Google. And nope, not 62. Do you just make up stuff, or are you that bad at math. And obviously, you have no idea where I live. It was not a homeless shelter (part of your creative fiction) and the only reason you even know I lived there is because I made the mistake of feeling sorry for you, when you actually were (and probably still are) homeless, and I let you sleep on my floor. Well, no good deed goes unpunished. And again, you make up stuff. I have help full time jobs. In fact, I have only held one job, for a period, that was not full time. But hey, just keep making stuff up.
I was disheartened to see Nicole’s column from last week pulled with no statement of retraction cowardly if you ask me. I am beginning to wonder if this paper isn’t run by Sandeen.

Sandeen probably threw a fit.
I suspect the local Pride committee was embarrassed by the 10000 for ten minutes cost Cox was asking. That’s all part of the agenda, to control speech, control what people think to define reality for the rest of the world, especially us hetero breeding stock.
