6PM: Critical Mass Bike Ride: Theme: F*ck your Gender!
Meet at the Liberty Pole (at the intersection of East and Main) at 6:00PM on Friday, July 20th, for a celebration of free gender expression and bicycle riding!

*Gender fuck* is the lovely practice of purposely
bending, blending, or breaking stereotypical gender
appearances and mannerisms, resulting in a mixture of
non-stereotypical gender identifiers that provoke the
onlooker to question their gender assumptions. Fuck
your gender! Yaaaaaay gender fuck!

**Critical Mass** is a slow-moving, leaderless bicycle
ride that celebrates cycling and cyclists' right to
the road. CM is an event and not an organization.
Rochester Critical Mass has it's monthly ride on the
last Friday of the month, 6PM, at the Liberty Pole in
Downtown. Ride Daily~Celebrate Monthly!

7PM: Deconstructing Gender (a gender 101 workshop):
After the F*ck your Gender Critical Mass, come out for an evening of deconstructing and challenging societal assumptions on gender and sexuality. Come view a dazzling film montage and join an exciting dialogue on personal experiences with gender roles. With activities inspired by Kate Bornstein's Gender Workbook, find out what it means to be "perfectly gendered" or a gender outlaw.
Location: St. Joe's House of Hospitality, 402 South Ave.
