I remember the first time I was called a “Tranny” back in the days when I was a denizen of various Yahoo Groups philosophy discussion lists. I was on Philosophy Forum, and, Existlist, for a few years. I always promoted a broad Transcendentalist point of view in my posts on those lists, which would aggravate various people for various reasons, personal, or illogical, philosophical, or, bigoted.

There were a couple of aggressive Schopenhauer fans on Philosophy Forum. One was particularly brutal and boy when I showed up and started being, well, you know, MYSELF… that didn’t go over so well with this guy. One day, he called me a “Tranny” and of course I loved it and I embraced it as my moniker, knowing, full well, that in the mind of my “Schopie Fan” it was an obvious reference to being “transgender” a “fairy” a “faggot” and “not a real man” and… you know the bit… you have heard it over and over again, either, directed out of somebody’s mouth, or, even your own mouth. All the homophobic bullshit that confuses the issues of Love and Intimacy among men with homosexuality and normalcy.

Well, my Dragon Work has only made me more strongly embrace the moniker of being a so-called “Tranny” because it has revealed the unique “Transformational” modalities of the Dragon. Lately, I have leaned, more and more, on the word “Kaleidoscopic” to try and reimagine the Dragon as a Preternatural Life Force of the Universe, of, Existence, fundamentally, and it is driving everything that happens in the Universe, pushing it toward some Mysterious and Unknown Dragon Goal or Project.

For some reason, in the scheme of all things, this Dragon NEEDS us!
Yes! Poor Old Dragon Weeny Needs the Little Human Being Thingy!
Why! Why oh why? Are we part of the… Plan?
What was the Dragon MISSING?
That drove it to Create BEINGS like us?

Individuality… Indivi-Duality.

Indivisible… Duality.
Without which, there can truly BE NO FREEDOM!
Sartre got THAT PART RIGHT.

Now… LOOK in the Mirror Wet Bag of Human Stones!
And tell ME!
What does the Dragon’s Diamond Eye See Now?
