I was out riding muh scoot today with a pretty good sized group. One guy, a fat trucker, had a patch on his vest that said "I'm a trucker. What's your superpower?" I chuckled about it this afternoon but I couldn't forget it. This guy chainsmoked all morning and could barely stand himself up for ten minutes, but there he was bragging about his "superpower". It's admirable, his ability to find the silver lining in that cloudy life, even though it's just a job and he's probably middling at it. That's still something to be proud of, and I respect it.
What's Rhys' superpower? Is it his PTSD? Dysphoria? Radich would say his "quantum gender", Tony Reed has being a "mother", Guillaume draws his popular comic, and even Fivehead Brydon Raethel can say winning Sedona's love proves he's superhuman. Everybody else in the world has an ability to be proud of, but all Rhys has left are crippling disorders. Even his dogs prefer Janet.
That's not sad, it's repulsive.
