A lot of times trans ppl will use a picrew for their pfp to show their transition goal or otherwise stylized picture of themself. I’m getting the impression this is either a dig at the watered down progressivism that crops up in white communities sometimes or thinly-veiled accusation that they’re a bot and using picrew to avoid the “no pfp” problem.
i'd argue it has pretty significant medical use, it's used in anesthesia (especially for kids), severe and/or chronic pain management, and a variety of mental health diagnoses. as someone who's done more than one course of ketamine therapy i actually think it's reputation as a party drug is kind of insane because it causes significant impairment even at fairly low doses
i had to pee really bad directly after an infusion once and even on antiemetics i got motion sickness from literally standing up 😭 obviously that was a higher dose than ppl do at the clurb but like. if moving my eyes made me nauseous i cannot imagine trying to dance or socialize on K, genuinely baffling to me
anyways this post feels like a transphobic dog whistle, like a trans guy portrayed as sensitive bc he's seen as adjacent to women, who are seen as emotional, & a trans woman portrayed as adjacent to sex and drug culture, bc of homophobic stereotypes turned transphobic stereotypes
