OMG How exciting! Something new in Boy’s Town. OOPS. What was Boy’s Town and is now SepiVille???
This event’s intentional exclusion of us asexual folx is a violent embodiment of this city’s white supremacy (ON STOLEN LAND!). Just because we lack a libido doesn’t mean that we don’t feel the pain of being murdered EVERY DAY in this cisheteropatriarchial fascist city. Sepi Shyne, as a white woman, needs to use her privilege to make sure we are included in this event. Thank you!
I don’t get it, but then again, nobody here seems capable of commenting unless it is negative.
Everyone is welcome.
You want a special day? Organize one.
How silly our society has become.
