The Artist D! has been doing a series throughout 2017 covering all aspects of queerness. The Artist D! considers themselves to be “queer” in all areas and they embrace it. Whether it’s sexually, gender related, or just their point of view, it all has a queer cast for The Artist D! Today D wraps up the queer series. Get their final word on the word in today’s post; Tranny Queer: The Queerest of Them All.
A teacher reads to her class from the Jazz Jennings’ book I Am Jazz and parents are outraged. A male student is allowed to wear dresses at school and the parents of another student remove their child from the school. If everything doesn’t comply with how people think it should be then they explode. Meanwhile the things that should create outrage are quietly ignored or swept under the rug. The Artist D! has a few words this month about the oppression of kids that comes from their parent’s expectations. And then there’s the outrage over those different colored crayons. . . .
Today The Artist D! muses on the romantic rebel and the human tendency to disagree about everything and always shun or outright hate the different people. The questions posed in this column may not be readily answered or the reason things are like they are might be right there. See what you think and decide if your bowl of cosmic stew should be served cold, or hot. Some like it hot.
