I have said for a while now that I was going to write abotu Britney Spears ass. Trust me, I dont want to do this. But since Brineys kid sister was in the news recently I figured now was a good a time as any to get it over with.
Together with her friend Taryn Manning, Britney did the trendy thing that youngesters do and got matching tatoos together. 奇 Kanji tattoo for the word ‘mysterious’. Oh! How forgin and exotic. Tell the world how deep and mystifying and esoteric you are.
There is a problem. Taryn was on tour in japan and was getting changed in one of the dresing rooms when her local assastant started to giggle. Thats when she found out what the tatoo actualy ment. As soon as she got back to the states she told Britney.
It didnt mean mysterious. It meant wierd.
Tattoos are so trendy now that its hard to think of them as being a form of cosementing surgery. But they are. Your preforming a rather major modification to yoru body. It is a very minor form of body modification, but I do place it into that catagory.
At the totaly opsoite end of the spectrum is aneroxia. A strech I know, but think about it. Someone preforms modification to their body in order to bring it more into alignment with what they themselves consider to be beautiful. For tattoos the health risk is minor, for aneroxia the health risks are more. But talk to both groups and you get similar stories. My body dosent represent the true me that is traped inside. So I will change my body to somethign that represents who I realy am.
Its not me saying that. Go check out some of the pro-ana websites. There are plenty of longwinded rants about how aneroxia is simply a ‘lifestyle choice’. They talk about how the outside world dosent understand them and tries to vilify what they do. They talk about how they have never been understood untill they found ‘the comunity’ who welcomed them openly and didnt judge their desires. Some go so far as saying that it shouldent be considered a mental illness. After all, homosexuality once was thought of as a mental disorder. But gays fought for their rights and likewise aneroxix should fight for their right to live their lifestyle as they choose. They are not hurting anyone else.
Are you frightened about how aneroxix talking about their ‘lifestyle’ sounds like kinksters talking abotu their ‘lifestyle’? If not then read more about pro-ana untill you are scared. The after the fact rationalization and the artificialy created sence of ‘home’ are creepily similar between the two groups.
Somewhere between a bad tatoo and an eating disorder is sex reasignment surgery. Its the same basic pattern of changing the body to match what is ‘inside’. I have strugled with this issue for several years and I still dont know myself what my opinion on the matter is.
Several years ago I was at an event when I saw someone at a distance. Tall. Lanky. Huge hands. Adams apple. Breasts that were obviously the resulrt of hormone treatenent. There was one problem. They were wearing leather chaps with tiny little bikini panties. No buldge. I found myself staring at their crotch and thinking to myself ‘That has got to be the absoulte best tuck-job I have ever seen in my life!’. Later I saw the same person at the playspace and the tiny bikini panties were off. It wasent a tuck job.
Ok, maybee they were post-op or maybee they were just buttugly. I dont know. The point being was that even if they were oficialy female, I felt wierd about propisitioning them. Does this meen Im not ‘open minded’ enough? Could be. But my defence is that I dont give a hoot at all abotu what THEY do. Its their body, let them do as they choose. What I do care abotu is what *I* do. And I cant change my sexual impulses to match what the kink comunity says abotu ‘tolerance’ and ‘acceptance’. if that makes me judgemental then I guess Im just judgemental.
Tatoos I can deal with. I could even be open to dating someoen with heavy tatoos. Aneroxia I am not ‘open minded’ toward. In fact, even if I wasent in a romantic relationship with someone who I knew was aneorix, I woudl still consider their behavior wrong. Whats the difrence between them? And how do they compare to sex reasignment surgery. Just how much can a person change their body to match thier inner self?
Wish I could anser.
