Well Christmas is obviously a relic of the cisheteronormative patriarchy that is obviously the biggest concern to us in the West( those not being evicted from their homes by actual fascists that is) . The nativity being the culmination of an unconsensual impregnation, that every white males sees as his birthright today.Yep, its a new leaf for me in 2019 AM. I’m getting woke as fook!
