I want to explore the connection between cyberfeminism, the concept and aesthetics of cyborgs, and Taiwan/Asian queer communities. Within the cyborg concept, there’s a focus on non-binary opposition and the ambiguity of identity and boundaries. Queer/non-binary individuals, like cyborgs, liberate gender, break free from binary-centered opposition, and actively embrace a future of diversity, heterogeneity, and hybrid identities.

Additionally, I want to share my personal perspectives and experiences as a non-binary queer Asian, living in both Taiwan and the Netherlands. I will also collect stories from others within these communities to build a broader understanding.

The focus of my exploration will revolve around three key points:

⭑ The Cyborg Manifesto has opened a door to cyberfeminism, and I am interested in exploring cyberfeminism within an Asian context. Modern queer and gender spectrums have already broken down the traditional binary concept of gender; could there be even more possibilities? Do we still need this or similar myths and metaphors?

⭑ What are the unique perspectives, experiences, and challenges faced by non-binary Asians living in Taiwan and the Netherlands?

⭑ Why is it so important for me to delve into these issues? How are these topics personally significant, and what is the relationship between them and my own identity?

-I plan to critically explore the social stigma and misogyny linked to women, feminism and the LGBTQIA+ community in Taiwan. In 2015, women in Taiwan were derogatorily labeled as "Sow" and “Feminism buffet,” with some people mockingly calling themselves "Sow believers."
