I want to talk about the uh interesting fight the pulmus that happened in your schlime in 1848. It has to do with the Maval um a G who's in the process of becoming a G and isn't yet completely a G figure it's appropriate time um a lot of gayists involved connections all of us theoretically on some level or another became gay around time um at least we might have all been mal until you know by I think it's an appropriate time to talk about it it's a it's a fascinating talk about it it's a it's a fascinating story with so many different characters and personalities and details I just hope that we'll to the terror. So let's let's uh I'm on haven and we'll we'll see how far we can get him. So this was like a mystery. There's a there's many chuas from 1848 from from the spring of 1848 and following that about a gerus that happened in I'll tell you how the story was always told. There was a G Morai which sounds like Morocco, a G from Morocco who a Moroccan Arab I guess who came to Shallay and wanted to become who came to Shallay and wanted to become a G and during 1848 he had his his mil. Now the the general process certainly in those days without without you know good medicine and in a place like the general process was to allow the the surgery of the mil to heal for several weeks maybe even longer and only then to do the so that it's really and it's but it's also good practice to let the the wound heal properly so that the water doesn't irritate it you know you know you know we'll leave the rest
