Transgendering Trumpisms
Trump started it,
with his arguments against transgender people
in the military violence business
of nationalism.
He seems to think trans-thinking
could not be sufficiently focused,
disciplined,
willing to accept ego-sacrifices
as necessary for successful long-term peaceful outcomes.
While this does seem to be an issue,
this lack of focus and self-discipline,
for some in the long-term healthy peace achievement business,
anyone who is transgender
and yet willing to gamble on thriving in a military culture
is not likely to suffer in those ways,
unlike lack of congressional climates for health care outcomes,
and far removed from a Trumpian,
late-decadent Victorian,
All Supremacist WhiteHouse.
It is ever so much easier
to retain a stiff upper lip,
and shut your over-twitterish hatefilled mouth,
when thou art Queen Bee of the Hill,
than when one of the many transgender soldier bees,
defending your right to lay really tragic
not-funny eggs
in full view of a not skeptical enough
Republic.
Perhaps we would all be better off
if we only nominated for President
people who had successful experience not only as Governors
or Senators
or even Vice Presidents,
but also some successful transgender experience.
For to become Trans
is a lifespan progress.
Not only unity of focus
and discipline of bilateral selves,
but also an intuitive feel for balance
between the virulent egocentric
and the viable possibilities for cooperative eco-centric diversity,
and a sense of appropriate
and inappropriate
use of color.
Color,
not only variations on yellow
with red
with blue,
not only black and brown
with diverse hues and textures of white and pink flesh,
but also colorful language
pattern and rhythmic texture,
tone,
ranging scales of operatic drama
but also peaceful romantic moonlit nights
here in this focused,
balancing,
colorful spacetime place
transgender celebrates
as a peaceful,
yet fertile,
diversely promising womb of Earth.
Perhaps we could also improve leadership
for all Earth's health care giving
and receiving,
by closing the Senate
to straight white males
of any age.
We employ far too many of those
in the incompetent House of NonRepresentatives
to achieve successful unity,
balance,
and color.
Bullies focus on their monoculturing intents
and violent purposes, as necessary,
as self-justified,
so are not known for skill sets
involving polyculturally balancing
ecopolitically healthy outcomes,
much less any Commons sense
of polyphonic color,
much less any politically liberating sense of humor.
For this full design package,
we could more successfully turn
to society's transgender victims,
soldiering on with and without us
if we could just keep up
with their divinely inspiring
senses of and for balancing peaceful
yet radiant
colors of integrity,
both inside
and out.
