In the last two decades, representation of Afghans and Afghanistan has been rendered to a people and landscape in void of love and life. In the heteropatriarchal and orientalist depictions, Afghan women have remained as the historically oppressed and devotedly loveless while Afghan men move between the violently masculine and categorically weak. The non-binary, trans and queer Afghans have remained invisible. These depictions have justified the continued war in Afghanistan and its subsequent everyday violence.
