Frank's nonsense appears like a speech a slave owner would give to induce slave compliance before setting the dogs on them.

In the case of Frank and his ilk, the attack animals would be 'pigs'.

The Anthropussy: an ecolesbian manifesto
Isabella Blea Nuñez, Beverley Choo, Yasmin & Eqtaffaq Saddam Hussain

Abstract
The Anthropocene is old news. As young queer zine-makers in Singapore, we heard the term on repeat and dared to ask: What about the AnthroPUSSY? From this queer environmentalist pun we birthed a new take on our relationship to the Earth amidst climate crises – and in doing so, we came out as ecolesbians. Ecolesbianism is a concept we co-created, bringing together queer ecologies, political lesbianism, ecofeminism, transecology, ecosexuality, and our own experiences. Ecolesbianism explores our relationship with the Earth and asks: what if our interspecies relationships are lesbian too? We argue that lesbian intimacy is unique in proceeding from a point of sameness and marginality, by recognising shared experiences of gender marginalisation with our lovers. Ecolesbianism thus might be understood as a subset of ecosexuality, but with an emphasis placed on marginality and intimacy more so than a general focus on sex and sensuality. The Anthropussy, meanwhile, is our nod to rejecting classifications: The Anthropussy is the erotic and utopian potential we carry within this era of unprecedented anthropogenic climate change. It combines an environmentalist recognition of the climate crisis with a feminist and queer theory analysis of the vulva as a symbol for vast potential, pleasure, intimacy, and expansiveness. This article is a re-formatted zine: a form that brings creativity and fun into the often heavy and overwhelming conversation on ecological collapse, while also expanding its audience beyond that of a typical academic article.

A full version of the zine can be found in the supplemental materials linked to this article.

Stop laffing.


The trio of students are also trans activists, advocating that men without female biological parts can also have pussy power. “[The] vulva is NOT a prerequisite of lesbian or ecolesbian power and identity. We say ‘pussy’ not as a criteria for entry but rather as the iconography it has always been in the queer community.”
