About the event
“If you ask me, personally, I reject the idea of gender, completely. I don't get these terminologies, and treat gender as fixtures, like options of biology in a video game rather than finalities.
But more pertinently? It is strange how, for some reason, one's identity gets shrunk to one's orientation, or more importantly, gender. And then? Gets limited to that. So this time, it is to remind, and celebrate that your gender's yours, whatever you mean by that, and that's perfectly good enough. “
