Medicalized and often surveilled shifts of the cancerous and/or trans body intersect in generative ways: metaphorical and material, symbolic and systemic. This piece discusses Patrick Staff’s (2017) video Weed Killer through an analysis of its source text, Catherine Lord’s essay ‘The Summer of Her Baldness’ (2003) along with prior queer and feminist explorations of cancer, disease, and pain, to build a transfeminist analysis of how the experience of cancer treatment reveals the constructedness of femininity as well as the ablism underlying binary gender systems. Staff’s work creates alignments and ruptures between sets of a potentially intersecting politics, which bear the weight of naturalized gender, pharmacological mediation, ‘passing’, and debility.

“我不想通过”：帕特里克·斯塔夫 (Patrick Staff) 的《除草者》(Weed Killer) 中的体现、隐喻和创造世界

癌症和/或跨身体的医学化和经常被监视的变化以生成方式相交：隐喻和物质，象征和系统。这篇文章通过分析其源文本、凯瑟琳·罗德 (Catherine Lord) 的文章“秃头之夏”(2003 年) 以及之前对癌症、疾病和疼痛的酷儿和女权主义探索，讨论了 Patrick Staff (2017) 的视频除草剂，以建立一个对癌症治疗经验如何揭示女性气质的构建以及二元性别系统背后的 ablism 的跨性别主义分析。工作人员的工作在潜在交叉政治的集合之间创造了对齐和破裂，这些政治承担了归化性别、药理学调解、“传递”和衰弱的重量。
