This weirdly aggressive male-male duet of Phantom of the Opera is so Yizhi & Qin Zheng coded

Couldn’t help but doodle a little Qin Zheng from Heavenly Tyrant by @xiranjayzhao inspired by a picture of Xie Lian that I have lost in my gallery
I have so many drawings of this man that it’s embarrassing

If you're a TERF you're a gender fascist. No other way to spin it. You claim your ideology is about protecting women and children but what it actually necessitates is an overfixation on people's genitals and the persecution of a minority group that does not actually hold institutional power. You insist on fitting humanity into two strict boxes that do not reflect the true diversity present among 8 billion of us. The moment you start talking about "large gametes"--what the fuck are you doing?
All fascists cloak their actions in protective language. But unless you're going after the white male billionaire class that actually holds the most power and does the most harm to both humanity and the planet, you're not protecting anyone and your "resistance" is not worth anything.

Truly crying because Safaa, one of the Palestinians I help fundraise for, crocheted this doll of Zetian from my book Iron Widow. Safaa used to have a crochet business that supported her family, but they lost nearly everything and now have to take shelter in rubble. She crochets these dolls with what scarce supplies she has left in hopes of bringing the children around her some happiness. It's my wish that she'll be free and able to send this Zetian doll to me one day, so please chip in to her campaign so she can afford food and other critical resources. Her parents both have diabetes and haven't had proper treatment in nearly two years, not to mention her father lost an eye. Any little bit helps! Please share her campaign widely!
