It hits like a blizzard. Lamb’s irony is of that relentless, manic kind that cannot finally be forced to line up on one side or the other of its apparent meaning: it is both a bitter pastiche of egg ideology and its no less bitter reinstantiation. It begins with scarcity: only “1:12000” are “born with GID,” and access to transition depends on, even in the virtual domain of desire, a kind of mathematical accreditation—unless I can say with confidence that I am one of this number (and who could?), then I count myself out. The irony begins to separate into yolk and albumen in the following sentences, however, with the alienation of the “tr*nny” being, also, a ticket to a more romantic being, “fucked up” and “a gender mutant.” A little more sexy. Yet the irony does not settle into mere parallelism. Rather, a second pairing takes precedence over “pariah”/“mutant,” which opposes the two jobs that a “tr*nny” is qualified to discharge: porn (“best case scenario”) and being a “trans intellectual,” which pays less well and seems, perhaps, to require one to moderate one’s language. Another specifically trans dyke dimension of this reasoning, another clue that this is egg theory cast back in time from a hatched present, rather than simply propaganda: under the conditions of patriarchy, to be a woman is to desire not to be, so the transsexual desire oscillates around a gravitational center that can never be inhabited until the abolition of patriarchy in general. Lamb continues:

BROTHERS AND SISTERS ! TR*NSEXUALITY IS FUCKING HORRIBLE ! never ever transition. I mean first off do you really identify as the other gender ?? do you even act more like or kinna physically resemble the other gender ?? such qualifications are highly subjective and arbitrary. If your a tr*nny or junior tr*nny cadet then you should know by now that gender, at least in the modern western understanding is actually about 8 factors including a lot of socialization and other peoples perceptions. Once again we are living in the eye of the hurricane of the 20th century western world. Now is a great time to be a dyke or fag. Or if your not that way you can be a Nelly boy or a Rosy the Riveter tough lady. Or if you really want to, what with all the punks and weirdos around there’s people with face tattoos and 20 rings in their face working at the coffee shop. So it shouldn’t be to big a deal for you to cut your tits off or get some installed or whatever. Similar like sexuality is biological and its near impossible to sufficiently brainwash someone out of being a queer. And penguins and dog are queer so that’s cool. Butch women and nelly boys is also just part of how society is way over genderpated and needs to stop telling kids which toys are appropriate. So to be perfectly clear and make complete sense: gays and lessies and bull daggers and swishy fops: all natural normal members of society.
