The Elf Man
A 25-year-old man in Argentina who became obsessed with elves as a child spent tens of thousands of dollars on plastic surgery to transform himself into one by tattooing the whites of his eyes black, having his facial and body hair surgically removed, and got a nose job and liposuction on his jaw. He wears pointy prosthetic ears and is saving up his money for more surgery to make them permanently pointed. He also wants to undergo a “limb lengthening” operation to make himself six and a half feet tall and wants several of his ribs removed to make his waist thinner.
“I consider myself trans-species, in the same way transgender people feel,” he says. “I need to become how I feel inside, I don’t expect people to understand but I ask they respect it.”701
He explains, “I was bullied as a child and as an escape I would submerge myself in fantasy movies like Labyrinth and The NeverEnding Story, as well as other fantasy tales.”702
On a personal note, I was picked on as a child too, for being extremely skinny because I was such a picky eater. People often called me an “Ethiopian” because of the mass starvation there and the popular Sally Struthers’ TV commercials airing when I was a kid asking for donations to help feed the people. And do you know how I dealt with the bullying? I started eating right and working out, and by the time I was in my early twenties, I was 200 pounds of solid muscle and was dating the most beautiful girls you could imagine.
That’s how you should overcome being bullied as a kid, or you can focus on building a successful career, leaving your bullies in the dust as you climb to the top of your profession. Meanwhile the “tough” guy who picked on you in school ends up working at a local factory making minimum wage and is only happy when he’s watching his favorite football team on TV while he’s getting drunk hoping to forget about how pathetic his life has become for a few hours before Monday morning rolls around again.
By being afraid to judge others for the abnormal ways they deal with life’s difficulties we are only contributing to a perpetual cycle of maladjusted weirdos running around making things worse for everybody.
Puppy Identity
Everyone has likely heard of the BDSM [Bondage and Sadomasochism] subculture of sexual deviants whose brains are fried from watching too much porn, so they turn to mixing sex with violence in attempts to get off. And this “community” has recently given birth to the “Puppys” which are mostly gay men (go figure) who like to dress up in elaborate full-body latex BDSM dog costumes.
There is an entire documentary on these psychos that aired on Channel 4 in England in 2016 and the London Guardian reported the “Secret Life of the Human Pups is a sympathetic look at the world of pup play, a movement that grew out of the BDSM community and has exploded in the last 15 years as the Internet made it easier to reach out to likeminded people. While the pup community is a broad church, human pups tend to be male, gay, have an interest in dressing in leather, wear dog-like hoods, enjoy tactile interactions like stomach rubbing or ear tickling, play with toys, eat out of bowls and are often in a relationship with their human ‘handlers.’”703
“You’re not worrying about money, or food, or work,” one of the “puppies” said. “It’s just the chance to enjoy each other’s company on a very simple level.” Another one of these freaks interviewed in the “Human Pups” documentary explains, “It’s pre-rational, pre-conscious. It’s an instinctive, emotional space. But within every puppy is a person. This is part of my identity, but it’s only part. I’m also a vegetarian, play the piano; I have a parrot. I was planting tomatoes on my allotment this morning. I can go months without going into pup space.”704
He continues, “There is an immense amount of pleasure from gambolling around in a club playing with squeaky toys because you’re making people laugh, you’re being a cute little puppy. The gay scene can be very serious, scary and offputting. But if you’re going in with a little puppy hood, ears and a tongue, you look cute. You’re allowed to bound around and be enthusiastic, mischievous and friendly.”705
Another “puppy” says, “People automatically jump to the conclusion that this is gear we wear to have sex. I used to get asked awful questions like, if I liked having sex with dogs. But it’s certainly not that, and it’s not always sexual. Members of my pack, we spend a lot of time together at home just being dogs. There’s nine of us and my partner is our handler. A big part of it is a feeling of family and belonging; we’re there to look after each other.”706
Genderless Alien
A 23-year-old Oregon man wants to have his genitals surgically removed as the final step in his quest to transform himself into a “genderless alien.” He had already spent $60,000 on surgery, including a nose job, tattooing the whites of his eyes black and having his facial hair removed by laser treatments.
He wants his nipples and belly button removed too so his body is just one smooth surface, and says, “My goal in regards to my look is to become an exact, scientifically proportioned, sexless human being.”707
“People talk about ‘gender reassignment’ but I’m looking to have ‘gender unassignment.’ I’m looking to change my genitals so there is nothing there. There will just be a hole to pee out of.”708
Plastic surgeons are reluctant to perform the kind of operation he wants because there are muscles in the genital area that prevent the urethra from leaking urine, so they are recommending the typical male to female gender reassignment surgery instead, but he’s not happy with that option. “I don’t want to become a woman, I just want to have nothing,” he says.
His sister was concerned about his final step, but now supports his decision. “I do worry that he’ll change his mind about surgery later in life but the more we talk about it, the more it actually feels like this is actually truly what he needs and wants to be more authentically him.”709
Transgender Dragon Lady
A 55-year-old Arizona man decided to transform himself into a transgender “dragon lady” by having his ears and nose surgically removed, and then had the whites of his eyes tattooed green, his tongue forked, added prosthetic horns on his head using subdermal implants, and had “scales” tattooed all over his face, chest, and arms. He was born Richard Hernandez, but as part of “her” transformation, he changed his name to Eva Tiamat Baphomet Medusa and now identifies as a dragon.710
On it’s website the creature explains, “I shed my human skin and my physical appearance and my life as a whole leaving my humanness behind.”711 “She” once worked as a banker, but it’s unclear how “Tiamat” earns a living today. I assume it’s only income is from getting paid to make appearances at freak shows and tattoo conventions. “She” is also HIV positive.712 What a surprise.
As you know, these aren’t the only cases of people undergoing extreme body modification. We’ve all seen the photos of the people with their entire faces tattooed and have subdermal implants protruding from their face, but the “Transgender Dragon Lady” takes the cake for the craziest of them all. It’s also amazing that any licensed doctor would actually perform unnecessary surgeries like cutting off someone’s ears and nose. Perhaps he had to go to Mexico, but who knows.
