Mebbe he's hurrying to join the military to have that gender reassignment surgery that all of the trannies so desire and he wants to get a contract signed before Trump is inaugurated and ends all of that PC bullshit. Ekim wouldn't " technically " be a EUNUCH after that surgery ! A life long dream of his.
Or mebbe he's been busy helping out some of " kin folk " with their upcoming birth of a child.

There's a news report that a Waco Zoo has set up and account with Target for their expectant-parent ORANGUTANS for a planned baby shower !

EKIM has always been good about helping his FELLOW simians, afterall !
