i might get killed all the way dead for this take but i’d argue that helen distortion has more implicit gender fuckery going on than michael distortion. i mean, michael was first a man (michael shelley) and genderless (the distortion), and then both (michael distortion). helen was first a woman (helen richardson) and both a man and genderless (michael distortion), and then both a woman and genderless and formerly a man (helen distortion).
