Disability Perspectives in Kink Panel Discussion with Lizzie
June 4 @ 8:00 PM - 9:30 PM
$5 – $10
Class Description
This panel on disability perspectives in kink has the purpose of fostering understanding, inclusivity, and empowerment within the kink community. By providing a platform for dialogue, education, and sharing of experiences, we are aiming to dismantle stigmas, address misconceptions, and advocate for the rights and needs of individuals with disabilities in kinky spaces. Through discussions on accessibility, consent, adaptation, and pleasure, we hope these kinds of panels promote a more inclusive and supportive environment where everyone can explore and express their desires authentically, regardless of ability.
This panel discussion will not encompass all disabilities and experiences, but is meant to help some folks start a dialogue and consider how going forward we can collectively normalize these conversations.
To better accommodate attendees and participants with a variety of disabilities, we are asking that attendees wear masks. Panelists will be at least 10 feet away from the audience and may choose whether or not to wear masks to accommodate those deaf/hard of hearing.
Presenter Bio
@Skeleton_Bitch (they/he/she), aka Lizzie, aka Picasso of Pain, is a disabled, genderfluid dominant/sadist/artist and one of the hosts of the monthly queer-centered play party, @qinkdc. They have been participating in kink since 2006 and part of the DMV kink community since 2022. They have been navigating the nuances of being kinky while living with multiple chronic illnesses and being autistic with ADHD (AuDHD) and what that means for them as a dominant, top, and organizer.
@Mr_Fox (they/he) is a queer, neurodivergent & disabled, polyamorous kinkster with experience as a Dom, sub, and primal player. Fox is passionate and nerdy about mental health education and advocacy, community organizing, and facilitating connection and growth. Fox is a proud co-founder of The Compound at Camp Social Club, and the founder of Indecent Enterprises, hosting monthly community & play events in the DC, MD, and VA area from 2012 to 2021.
Alex McGeorge (@texarcana) has been involved with BDSM in the Washington, DC area for a truly boring amount of time. He currently is best known as co-organizer and event runner for The Crucible’s Dungeon 101. Alex has taught on spanking since 2012 through Dungeon 101 and other topics for events such as Black Rose, FetFest, MsC, CLAW Getaway 2022 and internationally. When not enjoying the suffering of others Alex works on the offensive side of computer security for a cloud provider, enjoys running around in nature and sometimes indulging in his compulsion to get into places he’s not supposed to be.
A former teacher with a lifelong passion for the bizarre and filthy, @CarmenMonoxide (she/they) also works as a kink professional, event organizer, sex educator, and relationship coach. She has presented for small, medium, and large events across North America. She founded Femme Fatale, a kink event company, and throws monthly parties in the Washington, DC area.
