Gay Men at Jezebels? Question
One thing that I had been thinking about recently. In Season 3 we saw Commander Winslow have a bit of an implied gay side to him, likely he was bisexual. It did get me thinking, instead of just murdering all the gay men, is it possible that some were thrown into Jezebels to satisfy some Commanders' closeted homosexuality or even threesome fantasies?
Could this possibility also extend to other LGBTQ+ groups? I can see trans women working at Jezebels as well to satisfy some Commanders who are into trans women, because I know some men love trans women for some like emasculation kinks and we all know Commanders love their power play.

You're right, I don't because I can't. I feel empathy absolutely. But I can no more understand that than you can understand the repeated abuses over 59 years that have made me so blase about it. Is your worse than mine? Fuck no and I'd die at that hill.
