	7	+**====The affirmative discourse concerning nuclear power generation constitutes an act of violence against queer bodies. Specifically, discourses about nuclear waste replicate discourses of purity and impurity that help determine what bodies matter in our consideration of policy. The repetition of this discursive practice makes some bodies and environments matter and some not. Any discourse surrounding environmental and nuclear policy necessarily implies that non-procreative bodies are the same as social waste.====**

	24	+====The discourse surrounding queer bodies as toxic, irrelevant, and nuclear does creates a structural form of violence that rejects their identities entirely – that they ought not have existed to begin with. For queer bodies, this is means they are subjected to overkill. Call the next evidence specifically – the heteronormative language that generates gay panic and spread is what allows overkill as a form of violence to thrive. Also note that overkill is ontologically different from other types of violence-it's more than an attempt to do violence unto a body, it's an attempt to do violence unto all queer bodies. Don't let them weigh case-Their impact calculus will never understand what it means to do violence to that which is nothing. If queer lives matter, the recognition of this impact first is paramount. Only recognizing this form of violence is sufficient to begin addressing the problem of non-heteronormative bodies.====
