A FORMER banker has had both ears cosmetically removed as part of his quest to become a dragon.

Growing up in Texas, US, Richard Hernandez felt he was actually a woman trapped in a man’s body.

Decades later, Richard, 55, now identifies as Tiamat – preferring to be referred to as ‘it’ instead of she or he.

Tiamat, who lives in New Mexico, recently undertook an extreme operation that involved cutting back both of its ears in a procedure known as the ‘double van Gogh’.

Taking inspiration from JK Rowling’s Voldemort character, Tiamat also decided to have its nose reshaped to compliment it’s reptilian features.

As well as covering his body in scales made up of tattoos, their bizarre modifications include forehead horn implants and green eye staining.

Tiamat explained: “I am morphing into what I call my true form as a once-mythical dragon...

“(First) I got my subdermal brow implants.

“The second outwardly visible reptilian feature came to life when I had snake scales added to my face.

“I am presently 95 per cent covered in snake scale outline...

“I hope to enable people to have an appreciation for the art of body modification.”

Over the years, Tiamat estimates spending more than $45000 in cosmetic surgery and is planning more ops in the future.

Tiamat said: “What I like about body mods is everything from the aesthetic appeal, the sexual pleasure, the shock value and most important of all, personal gratification and spiritual significance.”

Since transitioning and going under the knife dozens of times, Tiamat now feels comfortable in his own skin.

He revealed: “Body modification has given me a new life, a second chance to live my life.

“I am happy and at long last at peace with my complete self, how I see and feel myself.

“Perfection is a magical thing to experience.”

Perfection? Um, no

But Man>Woman>Dragon seems about right


That kids stands no chance....

CHILD ABUSE......

That kids stands no chance....

I assume the child will think he just hatched. Or worst...

IMO this hurts the transgender cause more than anything.

I mean you can't become a dragon from having ink stuck under your skin, body parts removed, reshaped, and fake things attached.

Going swimming in a swamp doesn't make me an alligator.

So it seems that people can just make that easy leap to "this surgery doesn't make them a dragon, so maybe that surgery doesn't turn him into a woman, he's just mutilated himself and looks silly."

Which is not what transgender people want others to believe.

But isn't that what they all look like?

Wow. Thanks Sassy for posting this. I always thought bankers were boring.


I agree, Ciretom:




Transgender activists are not fond of 'otherkin'.
