Yet again, another comic which coincidentally focuses on the issues prominent in my mind.. perhaps there is no coincidence.
Another great piece.
Another great (and eye opening) comic!

My contentions exactly!! People assume I operate in these boxes and I never have, so they do not understand me. I am an ALIEN! LOL!
Well there you go. I’ve just finished writing a book and a stage play that pretty much says exactly the same thing. So clearly I’m not the only one thinking these things.
Worse, being outside the “gender lines” so to speak, men have only one interested in me and that is what my body can do for them for 5 minutes at 2 AM. Thankfully, I’m with my girlfriend at 2 AM in bed
Whilst the men are trawling the streets for … wait, those poor men!
Ella, I think you’re missing the point. You’re putting men into a category (they only have one interest and they are trawling the street), when the comic is trying to illuminate that there’s a spectrum that bucks classification. It’s saying that “men” and “women” are constructs, and in reality, no one fits neatly into a gender. The comic is objecting to the act of dividing people into genders and assigning behaviors to them based on those genders, which is what your comment, unfortunately, just did.
Love this. Opening my mind and making me think!
These are the questions we need to be asking. (ALSO – this could totally work for discussing “race” as well!!!)
No, no it wouldn’t work for race.
Hah! Love this lots.
Nice one there, good plot idea, great artwork. Something to think about for sure, thanks for making my morning a bit more interesting, dude.
sooo good. So witty…LOVE LOVE THE HUMOUR! Where would we be without it eh?
SO SO well done. Youjust get better and better
Yes it would work for race. There are no races. They are all imaginary constructs and any attempt to divide people into races fails on closer examination. We can’t even decide how many races there are supposed to be, with a range from three to sixty some odd.
Excelllent, and thanks so much!
