Bad Annalogies: Mario Edition
[SIZE="4"]Question: What is being a crossdresser like?[/SIZE]
[SIZE="4"]Answer: I suppose it's a lot like being Mario.[/SIZE]
Mario is a plumber that travels through a pipe world collecting coins and mushrooms in order to rescue Princess Peach kidnapped by a turtle dragon monster thing, King Koopa. Just when he thinks he found and can free the princess, he finds out that he needs to follow her to another another castle.
Once he does finally free her, she goes and gets kidnapped yet again. Mario receives little reward but he is a hard working blue collar guy just doing what needed doing and with a lot of heart.
This is analogous to crossdressing in that your female side is trapped away and waiting to be rescued. Often times just when you think the rescue is eminent things change and the princess gets locked away again. Along the way power ups (clothes, makeup, accessories etc.) keep you going until that long awaited temporary freedom from the Koopa of society trapped perspectives.
Mario must save the princess, it is in his nature, his very existence is linked to her. Without the princess, Mario would just be a plumber in New York wondering if there is more to life. With Princess Peach to rescue Mario leaps into hero status and does it with good natured humility asking little of the effort. Mario is an everyday hero and being a crossdresser is an Everdyay Epic of adventure, struggle, hope and triumph.
Eventually Mario always comes through and rescues the princess. Will she get locked away again...the saga continues!
