Mr. Man, or is it Mr. Superman?, Now that you have been recognized as a faux superhero, what are your thoughts on transgendered homosexuals? That is a person that changes their sex to become gay and sleep with someone who is the same sex as they had the surgery to become.
First of all, “Dr.” (not really a Dr.), I object to your characterization of me as a “faux” superhero. I am Superman, whether you choose to aknowledge that or not. I was born that way, and I can’t change who I am.
Your comment underscores the ignorance and intolerance directed at the superhero community. I have a friend, Flash Gordon, who is a public school teacher. He is the object of derision, ridicule, and discrimination, simply because he refuses to hide his true self from the public.
I see no reason why he should be forced not to be true to himself, for the sake of conforming to the intolerant, and ignorant. People point and laugh, and say things like, “Hey buddy! Halloween is in October!”
His employer won’t allow him to show up to the school in uniform. Wearing the Flash uniform has no negative impact whatsoever on his ability to teach the children. The children have not yet formulated ideas about what is proper attire, so it does not in any way distract them from learning, yet this atrocious display of cultural insensitivity forbids him to teach in his uniform, and be who he is, truly, deep down inside.
I am Superman. I have known this ever since I was a child. I have fought this feeling, but I need to be who I am. People need to learn to accept this, and to understand that we, in the superhero community will not allow this continued discrimination.
As for your question about the transgendered, those people are freakin’ nuts! Cuckoo man. Lock ‘em up as the insane wackos that they are.

All my life, I’ve known that deep down inside, I was a philodendron. I tried to ignore it, I tried to hide it, but I got to the point that I just couldn’t do it anymore.
So I came out as a philodendron.
People make fun of me because I wear a potted philodendron on my head, and it hurts my feelings. I’ve gone to several consciousness-raising seminars, thinking I’d be understood, but they made fun of me too.
I know there are other philodendrons trapped in human bodies out there somewhere. Let’s form a support group!

[...] The People’s Republic of Seabrook unveils some new Cell phone features we’d like to see. As an example of our technological superiority, Mooninite cellphones come standard with all of these features plus the full catalog of Foreigner ringtones. Foreigner rocks!!!! Yes Err, they most certainly do. Up next is the group we refer to as the Dr. Weirds. This earth humor is too primitive for us Mooninites to comprehend, but you earthlings might enjoy it. Dr. Weird Award FIAR at Radioactive Liberty admits to dressing in tights while discussing transgendered homosexuals. The over/under on when he submits himself for psychiatric evaluation is 47 days. We recommend taking the under. People Won’t Respect the Fact That I am Superman [...]

You think you’re a philodendron? You’re a deranged nutjuob!
Unless this somehow makes you a superhero, in which case, you are being unfairly discriminated against.

Jimmy, *I* can go back in time, but I can’t help you do it. It’s in the superhero handbook.
Von, of course I do.

Some of my best friends are superheros. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Please be careful of green rocks…use some kind of protection, ok?
