SISSY. Used to be called a “fake girl” (假女儿)growing up in my hometown - Chongqing. It doesn’t sound like much of an insult, but in the local dialect, it was supposed to be a very strong one. In a city that’s known for spicy food, hot weather and gangster energy, (toxic) masculinity was the main vibe. A “fake girl” is assumed to be sissy, weak, feminine and easy to be played with. (Possibly easy to fall for all straight guys for their “mighty” powers) Well, to me, that was only the start of my “fighting violence with violence” phase. That insult was tremendously traumatic to me. I used to fight, prank and injure people who dared to say that to me. But as I grew up, I finally realized that femininity is the actual mighty power. Showing & owning it only makes people with insidious thoughts & demeanors fear and respect you. I’m proud to be sissy. Proud to be called a fake girl. 假女儿 is at least getting close to be a strong woman. Took me 1 sec to come up with this theme (and 1 month to realize it): misogyny, homophobia, patriarchy, discrimination, irony, Utopia, negativity, positivity. After all, the voice of minority. I chose 4 words that are “recreated” to disparage people of disadvantages in the society. Wanting to make them positive and powerful with OBVIOUSLY colors of the rainbow. Strong sculptural facial features to highlight this idea. T-shirt & print available for order. All sizes.
