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 climate of 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.

Two Cultural Feet

David Holmgren
a seminal PermaCultural Designer,
if there ever has become one,
suggests most people throughout Earth
in this age of globally interdependent communication
feel we have one foot planted
in our original local community/family culture,
and the other foot planted in a more comprehensively dominant
economic and political and sociological culture;
but also maybe both feet together co-arise
in our global ecological enculturation.

More of a mindbody hop
than a cognitive one-legged skip.

I grew to the 18-year mark of emancipation
in a conservative fundamentalist
Republican
Michigan family farm industrializing
mid-to-later 1900s
economic and political and sociological
and ecological and anthropological
and psychological and genderological
and extended family farm as forestological
and embryonic wombological culture
both internally adopted
and externally adapting
by trying on my daily
and nightly
enculturations.

As a child
I could not distinguish between internalized enculturation
and external dominant LeftBrain USA-WhiteEnglishOnly culture
because I felt no incipient dissonance
between these two
external Left
and internal Right,
secular ecopolitical and socio-psychological sacred
hemispheres of footedness,
groundedness,
ego/eco-centeredness.

Then I noticed
that the fantasy of partnering with socio-psychological masculinity
rather than ecopolitical femininity–however lovely–
was mesmerizing,
hypnotic,
wondrously awesome,
happiness and Aquarian beauty and bilaterally sexy
and internally right
yet very much externally wrong.

So which was my true local culture
with integrity
and safety
and love
and faith
and trust,
and which was my dominant MidWest
EnglishOnly
White Straight Male Dominant
extending patriarchal farm businessological culture?

It has taken many years
of self-inflicted therapy
to answer that question Both Left-and-Right
Win/Win polypathically healthy,
rather than Either Left-or-Right
Lose short-term to LoseLess long-term pathologically.

Today,
since the 9/11 of 2016,
when nearly half of U.S. voters
chose to vote for our own domestic terrorism
inflicted against both promised rich
and threatened poor,
both hateful and fearful AlienElitist plutocrats
and hated and feared non-fundamentalist
non-white
non-straight
non-male
non-competitive
non-monoculturing
not-sufficiently-domesticated and under-invested
cooperative Left in solidarity with Right Brained democrats,

It is also true,
an alternative majority fact,
if you will,
that slightly over half did NOT vote
to internalize a domestic version
of global fundamentalist terrorism,
against the greater powers
of polypathic Left/Right bilateral love,
against the principles of Zero-Sum WinWin ecopolitical integrity,
from which my own Left-Right extending farm-as-global-forest ecology
was originally spawned
in patriarchal-matriarchal harmony
Yang with Yin, not dissonantly against
Left-RightBrain Ego/Eco inductive bilateral co-intelligence,

Without, so far as I recall,
quite so much RightFooted stomping
and marching
in military-industrialized
Big RedBook of ViolentCapitalism Squares,
where persuasive enculturation begins
at the end of the longest and fattest gun.

Cooperative Political Powers

Power to condemn others, and oneself,

is weaker than power to help others, as oneself.

 

Power to destroy others, and oneself,

is lesser than power to regenerate others, and oneself,

interdependently.

 

Powers of fear and anger management,

with terrifying consequences and pathological climate outcomes,

are absorbed by more resonant powers of active love

incarnating integrity.

 

Power to compete and win exclusive victories

is anemic when contrasted with polypathic powers to cooperate

economically,

as politically,

as ecologically smarter,

as psychologically healthier,

as empathically balancing trust with anti-ecological mistrust,

as socially astute,

as culturally polypathic,

as peacefully,

as justly,

as gracefully,

as karmically,

as cosmically,

as zero-zentrically organically incarnated.

 

Regenerative powers begin within still small,

in-between,

enthymematic communication’s co-empathic voices

of bicamerally embryonic (0) sum appositional-cooperative balance.

 

A fundamental ecological problem for fascism,

and totalitarian governance strategies

supporting egocentric monoculturalism,

whether of oneself,

or one’s anthro-supremacist enculturing nation within an interdependent international planetary DNA/RNA Solidarity network,

or to build another Global Empire instead of regenerative self-governing solidarity within the entire world,

or any other portion of EarthTribe in between these ways we choose to slice

our primary home-identity pie,

our enduring ecopolitical issue is fascism’s single-minded fascination with strength of power

solely through internally united force,

as if one could optimize YangLandscapes without equivalent interdependent YinClimate-healthflow.

Both internal psychological

and external ecopolitical climates

of fascist fear/anger mongering,

managing through condemnation,

motivated by climates of fear,

collective nationalistic paranoia,

are blind to these far greater polypathic powers of multiculturally inclusive flow.

 

Our optimally facile, yin-flexible, ebbing and flowing, anti-Yang fascist, strength

emerges from our internally embryonic Yang/Yin co-empathic bilateral trust,

our basic mutual regard,

our intent toward regenerative health for all

by avoiding lesser WinLose suboptimizing compromises,

by constantly embracing full-flowing polypathic powers

of integrative inclusion, Ego/EcoLogical MultiCulturing WinWin MindBodies,

BiCamerally DNA-fractal (0)-sum polypathically sensory-neural programmed

regenerative evolution of human-time’s climate

and internal/external landscapes of  political health

as ecological wealth

for long-term future generations,

as for today,

each hour,

each moment,

each life,

each (0)-zen nanosecond of  bicameral ego/ecoconscious enthymematic rememory.

 

Political leaders whose primary appeal is their experience with anger and fear management,

corporate surgery,

and/or pharmaceutical escapism culturally covering WinWin opportunities for ecotherapy,

and WinLose economic strategic assumptions about the diverse strengths and weaknesses of truly humane evolution,

are elected by populations invested in settling for public policies and procedures intended to reduce pathological fears

through cultural denial of distinctions between healthy  cooperative empathic-trust exchanges

and further pathological climate change,

masking as EcoPolitical Business as Fascist-Survivalist WinLose Usual.

 

Thereby missing opportunities to more heroically and victoriously,

and, oh yes, regeneratively

sing and dance and proclaim and march toward Earth’s healthier external climates,

and internal landscapes

of truly ecologically balanced ecopolitical wealth optimizing futures

for all us ego/ecoconscious bicameral-balancing polypaths,

as for our EarthTribe Elders,

as toward our postmillennial ReGenerators of Earth’s ReCreation,

and not so much fascist-survivalist xenophobic marching

in anger and fear management politically bicamerally imbalanced circles and squares.

 

Certainly Earth’s evolutionary intelligence must be smarter

than a mere Trump Card,

favoring further WinLose pathologies,

when WinWin Permacultural Cooperative EcoPolitics

is waiting to become reborn

reweaving regenerativity’s multicultural potential

as our more integrated ego/ecoconscious polypathic trusting selves.
