This essay contains spoilers for Andor season 1 through Andor season 2, episode 8 (but not episodes 9 through 12). When I first watched Andor season 1, I couldn’t quite put my finger on why I found the character of Syril Karn so compelling. I mean, he’s pretty much a fascist, right? He’s a cop who seems to worship the ISB (the Empire’s secret police force, akin to Hitler’s Gestapo) and Supervisor Dedra Meero (who works for them).

I have been writing about feminism (and other topics related to sex, gender, sexuality, sexism, and social justice) for about 25 years now. I have conveniently chronicled all that work (including links to all my online essays over the years) on my writings webpage. Admittedly, some people are most (or only) familiar with my first book, Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity, which was published in 2007.

Member-only storyJulia Serano·Follow3 min read·--Due to recent unexpected personal circumstances, I am in a bit of a financial pinch. Not quite at crowdfunding levels of seriousness just yet — and hopefully it doesn’t get to that point. But enough so that I am looking to bring in more income than I usually do over the next several months. And hopefully you can help with that! Or perhaps I can help you (or someone you know) with a project, event, or other endeavor.
