 | Transgender Superheroine GO! That's, obviously, a MichFest special. Clumsy as some of the writing and much of the art is, there's a melancholy to this that I appreciate. Possibly one of the defining characteristics of polemic is that it isn't entirely, or even primarily, about how you feel about people, but rather about how people feel about you.
Identity is a complex question, of course. As we progress into the century, it seems that the means by which we construct our identity become increasingly sophisticated, or at least harder to use. Either it's getting more complex or we're getting more easily confused.
Thank heavens for biometric identity cards, then. With the simple collation of a bit of biology, these little wonders can tell not just you but pretty well anyone else who you are. Unless you're foreign. In which case, let's face it, your identity is the least of your problems.
Fortunately, even then help is at hand. Thank heavens for the foresight of our leaders, who have made it laughably easy to duplicate their first bit of biometric ID.
Ours is as an age of wonders.
