– #Sticky Note on sexual uptightness and (trans)gender narcissism –
Don't get strung out by the way that I look / Don't judge a book by its cover / I'm not much of a man by the light of day / But by night I'm one hell of a lover / I'm just a sweet transvestite / From Transexual, Transylvania, ha ha (Rocky Horror Picture Show, Sweet Transvestite)
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN IF NOT NIKKI H.
Got a minute?
So, what 's the Deal?
How about asking Frankenfurter[1], Tootsie[2], Mrs Doubtfire[3] or Divine[4]?!
The uptight Discussion and Social Media Hype on Transgenders featuring themselves and each other as Self-Made People on Sale, merely signify Lack of sexual Education and Liberation.
Figuratively, the opacity of terms and phrases reminisces of Climate Change, more precisely to be termed Mostly Man-Made Environmental Change.
Apparently, Talks on Transgender and Gender Gaming … sorry … Mainstreaming have mutated into somewhat of a ShowBiz for a growing number of Narcissists, i.e. juvenile and mature InstaTikTok'ers 24/7/365 seriously alienated from Reality, the hard and soft Facts of Life N Living.
Moreover, Transsexual Surgery doesn't suggest turning/tuning oneself into a Happy Human Being just like that, all of a sudden being riddened of Earthly Challenges, Social Aggravation and an Achy Breaky Heart.
At any rate, as a Man (after Surgery/hormonal Treatment), life means exposure to subtle societal coercion on fulfilling traditional clichés of Manhood, Self Assertion, Success and Nurturing in a the Best of Both Worlds of Materialism and Love.
Kind of sad but true.
By the way, as a Woman (after Surgery/hormonal Treatment), life necessitates fighting for Equal Opportunity and Liberation[5], withstanding tenaciously prevailing old hat Concepts of a female's Duty and Destiny.
Oh really?
Exceptions prove the rule, despite their Sexual Bias most of the Homosexual and Lesbian Couples affirm of assigning themselves to classic male and female Role Models.
Who wishes to commence a shift in the onus of proof and what 's bottom line?
Well, the representative Cross-section of Philanthropists and Misanthropes remains the same independent of looks N fashion as much as private parts of first N second degree.
John and Yoko farming beef / Raising protein quota / Sometimes they make love and art / Inside their dakota / Rodney's feeling sexy / Mick is really frightfully bold / Me, I do the only thing thatstops me growing old / I do the Rock / I do the Rock Rock / I do the Rock Rock Rock (Time Curry, I do the Rock)
Now what?
Let’s do the Rock![6]
Kind regards,
Cal Caleido
