9/11: NEUTRAL

Right as I wake up there’s a nurse there who hustles over and says he’s glad he saw me wake up and tells me he’s giving me some pain meds and then he gives me IV Fentanyl and so I go from like “Ow ow ow ow awake awake awake” to “ooooooh fuck I’m floating on clouds made of rainbows” in like 6 seconds and so I was pretty out of it. The hospital had all the recently-post op patients all in one big-ass room, and they see patients for ALL sorts of surgeries, so I was next to an old guy who got his knee replaced on one side and some young 30-something dude with some kind of mechanism on his leg. So I asked him what happened since I was high as fuck and feeling kind as a result, and he said he broke his leg hiking off-trail when his leg went down a literal rabbit hole and snapped his shinbone. I say something like “damn dude that blowssssss” while giggling because I’m high as FUCK on actual fentanyl and he’s like “Yeah, for real, I’m feeling great right now though! What about you? What are you in here for?”

And I fully was not thinking like a person, I was thinking like a fentanyl-addled tgirl so I just go “Oh, haha, they cut my dick off!”

Yes! Congratulations on your artistic literacy, that is exactly the feeling the photographer intended to share!!

When you say "masculinity is always rewarded in patriarchal society" you not only ignore the way malgendering is a tool used to harm transmascs, but you also ignore:

The hypernasculinization of black women in order to justify their brutalization

The hypermasculinization of black men in order to sexualize them and justify their brutalization

The brtualization of tomboys and butch cis lesbians for their gender non conformity

The brutalization of cis feminists throughout history for simply trying to gain rights that were seen as inherently masculine to have.

The brutalization of transfems through misgendering in order to justify their brutalization (i.e. calling them predatory men, weaponizing masculinity against them with or without that being their actual presentation)

The misgendering and erasure Gender non-conforming or masculine transfems, noth binary and non-binary

Intersex people that are coerced/medically altared into being assigned female who are marginalized when they present any sign of masculinity

Cis and intersex and WOC (especially black women) who's testosterone levels are used to justify their exclusion from their careers and passions in sports without an alternative place to go

The way masculinity in mentally disabled men, especially black disabled men and boys, intersects with how a lot of mental disabilities are labelled as agressive and dangerous, further justifying these men's brutalization (see: cops killing young black autistic boys in meltdown)

Masculinity is always rewarded in people that society doesn't want to brutalize. Masculinity is a tool to justify the brutalization of people society wants to keep suppressed. To say otherwise is just factually wrong.

I cannot express to you how FAST it has gone. I grew up in a world that does not exist now. We're starting on the path to reverse it, globally. You might not know how much solar has EXPLODED in the last decade or two. It's gone from a side thing, a weirdo novelty that was just Not Viable... to whole countries investing in infrastructure. but we have to keep fighting big oil and fascism everywhere we can in order to keep on this road to a new better less scorching burning earth.
