  1. Edited for Bevis to understand A visual metaphor is an image that the viewer is meant to understand as a symbol for something else. Visual metaphors can be obvious, subtle, funny, or scathing, but they form a nexus of imagery that artists have used across the centuries to help communicate information without words.
  2. 'Cycling is the perfect sport for transvestites' Summarize Grayson Perry British artist Grayson Perry regularly competed in races during the 1990s. Photograph: Teri Pengilley/Guardian Mountain biking has been a dusty thread running through my life. It has helped keep me sane and thin enough to fit into 15-year-old dresses. I never feel more alive than when I slip out of the studio late on a sunny weekday afternoon, zip out through north-east London and hit Epping Forest dirt just as rush hour begins behind me. It may not be the Alps or even the Lakes but I enter a world where all that matters is the twisting trail, my burning thighs and riding as fast as possible over bumps. A big part of sport for me is the benefit for mental health. Nothing combats feeling depressed or anxious like a good hard workout. Mountain biking takes me out of my studio, out of my head and into my body and the countryside. Haring down a hillside leaves no time to ponder. You live in the moment, you focus on not crashing. It is a little-known fact that I invented the mountain bike when I was 14 in 1974, in the back of a biology exercise book. Like a lot of my mates, I liked to ride my stripped-down road bike fitted with speedway-style handlebars through the Essex woods, over bumps and bomb holes. Riding a bicycle wasnโ€™t a sport to me then. My stepfather and mother made home a place of brooding violence and frightening hysterical outbursts of shouting and screaming. My bike got me out of the house and away from my dysfunctional family. In the summer a few friends and I would pedal to the nearest patch of lumpy ground and dare each other to roll down steep banks or leap off mounds, pretending to be Evel Knievel jumping over buses. These off-road excursions inevitably led to violent equipment malfunction so I used to doodle bikes designed to withstand the rigours of off-road fun. What I drew were hybrids between a bicycle and a motocross bike and, 40 years later, you can buy one complete with sophisticated suspension and fat knobbly tyres. I didnโ€™t get the credit for inventing the mountain bike because I never went on to build one โ€“ unlike the pioneers of the sport, who around the same time were holding downhill bicycle races on a dirt road on Mount Tamalpais, just over the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. By the time early mountain bikes were available in Britain, I was heavily into skateboarding. This was how I got my adrenaline kicks for a decade or so from 1977, until falling off on to concrete started to hurt too much. Mountain biking, by contrast, seemed a relatively safe way to keep fit in comparison. And by the late 80s, mountain bikes were everywhere in Britain โ€“ in fact, they had saved cycling. I was quickly drawn from tootling through Epping Forest into the organised sport, and participated in my first cross-country mountain bike race in 1992. I clearly remember the immediate visceral thrill of being nakedly competitive (as opposed to covert rivalries with fellow artists; who did the best in that auction? How many people went to see his show?). Passing my first fellow racer I almost joyfully shouted, โ€œEat my dirt, loser!โ€ I soon became obsessed and the racing gave me a goal to train hard. One year, I took on an online coach to tailor my training. I wanted to find out just how fit and fast I could get, which turned out to be fairly quick. I even won a couple of local races. I was doing two or three-hour sessions four times a week. I would take my heart rate first thing every morning and record it on a graph, and bore on about anaerobic thresholds and fartlek training. There is a popular idea that artists are not supposed to be sporty and so this only added to the attraction for me; like pottery, sport was, well, a bit naff. Racing also gave me an insight into a different subculture, clean-cut men eyeing each other at the start โ€“ how lean is he? Should I grid up in front of him, will he hold me up? After the race, a glorious rush of endorphins, sweaty dusty men, all high on natural chemicals, comparing notes and battle scars. In the race, no one knew me as an artist โ€“ I was just the bloke who came fifth.

  4. Squissy taking another L No, drag queens are not necessarily transvestites. While both involve dressing in clothing typically associated with another gender, drag is a performance art, and a drag queen is someone who performs in that style. A transvestite, on the other hand, is someone who cross-dresses for personal reasons, not primarily for performance. Many drag queens are cisgender men who do not identify as transgender, according to Advocates for Trans Equality.
  5. Let me check AI Overview The term "transvestite" is generally considered outdated and derogatory, particularly when used to refer to transgender individuals. While it was used in the past, including to refer to people who would now be considered transgender, it's no longer the preferred or respectful term. Historical context: The term was coined by Magnus Hirschfeld in 1910 and initially used to refer to individuals who cross-dressed, some of whom would be considered transgender today. Modern understanding:"Transvestite" primarily refers to a cisgender, heterosexual man who wears women's clothing. I got it right the party is over for men pretending to be women in sports

  9. another L for the do-gooders https://x.com/immeme0/status/1940934909457023073?s=61&t=oX9G006TUZ9alBtC5c4uMQ BREAKING: President Nayib Bukele slams the Fake News media and releases footage of illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garciaโ€”the man Democrats falsely claimed was tortured, starved, and sleep-deprived while in custody in El Salvador. President Bukele stated: Apparently, anything a criminal claims is accepted as truth by the mainstream media and the crumbling Western judiciary. But the man wasnโ€™t tortured, nor did he lose weight. In fact, photos show he gained weight while in detention. Thereโ€™s plenty of footage from different days, including his meeting with Senator Van Hollen, who himself confirmed the man seemed fine. โ€œIf heโ€™d been tortured, sleep-deprived, and starved, why does he look so well in every picture? Why would he gain weight? Why are there no bruises, or even dark circles under his eyes?โ€
