Eukaryotes

Patriarchy uses science as both weapon and shield to explain the status quo against non-binary and trans people and those not behaving according to sociosexial expectations. Westerners especially tend to cuddle biologisms rather than challenge the corset of norms whose application is mostly dependent on credit limit and skintone. As a step towards those who feel more comfortable with primary school biology, this illustration shows us as the happy Eukaryotes we could be: experiencing emotional closeness and healthy interpersonal relationships supported by a nutrient-rich environment, no further additives need. This illustration is not a reliable or even useful teaching tool, but neither is science when encumbered with white ideology. P.S.: For all the 'Where's Wally' fans: There are indeed two aromantic beings in this picture: one aro and one aro-ace. Eukaryotes who experience romantic attraction are equipped with eyelashes or flagellas. Sexual attraction is visualised with angular spikes.
