A Scientific Explanation for Michael and Janet Jackson, et. al.?

Slide 1: Can science explain what Mark Geragos couldn't? Vapid Culture Presents: Trans-col-o-sex-us (TCS): A Scientific Explanation for the bizarre ways of Janet and Michael Jackson, et. al.? Copyright 2007, Jenna Williamson, J.D. http://vapidculture.wordpress.com

Slide 2: First, Many Beloved Entertainers were disfigured by Madamism

Slide 3: Now there's an even more devastating disorder threatening Tinsel-town: Trans-col-o-sex-us (from the Latin words for change, color and gender.)

Slide 4: This one runs in families. It stems from a DNA mutation that affects Melanin production and sexual characteristics...

Slide 5: while also producing strong vocal and dancing abilities.

Slide 6: While absent in childhood, TCS symptoms start appearing in the patient's 20's, and reach epic proportions by the early 40's.

Slide 7: TCS affects men more severely than their female counterparts. Both undergo skin-color transformations and changes to sex characteristics, but in men, these effects are more pronounced.

Slide 8: TCS stops just short of turning black men into white women.

Slide 9: In extreme cases, it has been known to cause genetically black men to father Danish- looking children.

Slide 10: The alterations to sex characteristics in female TCS patients, while marked, are less drastic than those found in men.

Slide 11: TCS-affected females begin to resemble drag-queens, and may be mistaken for male relatives who also have the disorder... making it nearly impossible to tell who was born female.

Slide 12: Rather than turn the skin white (as it does in males), TCS turns the skin of females a greenish-ashen hue and changes it's texture to one that resembles plastic or wax.

Slide 13: TCS patients may undergo mental changes so severe that they lose touch with the outside world.

Slide 14: They overestimate their own importance and concoct elaborate conspiracy theories to explain personal problems and failures...

Slide 15: ...such as poor album sales \"No one bought my album because my record company is racist!\"

Slide 16: ...and molestation arrests. \"The police just \"Everyone knows I love wanted to rough me children-- the allegations up! They dislocated are ridiculous!\" my shoulder with handcuffs!\"

Slide 17: Other delusions have the TCS patient living in a world that's frozen in time, where they don't age and fashions don't change. This type of delusion may be expressed in any number of ways...

Slide 18: ...like dressing as if it's 1992 in an album cover shot circa 2007.....

Slide 19: ...or inviting twelve-year-old boys to sleep over, as if one is still twelve years old (and feeling the effects of puberty).

Slide 20: TCS also causes patients to lose sight of what constitutes appropriate attire.
