Subject: BS: This whole born on wrong planet thing!
Obvious this is a serious issue to those who feel that way. I never did. Planetwise I am quite at home even though I am not as adept, face to face with humans as I would like to be. Most seriously, I find myself slow to spot anger in others. But I digress.

Let us pool our knowledge and try to help our fellow travelers. I assume they are talking about feeling that they are from a similar planet to Earth orbiting another star. I feel that they deserve a name at least as high-falutin as "transgender" so lets refer to them as "trans-celestially displaced" or if you wish "tel-cel" for short.

Before we go on, we should first make sure that they are not simply trans-Sol solar system, here is a brief quiz.

1. Do you feel that your body temperature should be a little higher than the melting point of lead and do you enjoy extreme suntanning?

2. Do you enjoy a high pressure lifestyle, the heat of the moment and extreme overcast? Do you drive and SUV because you can't seem to get enough CO2?

3. Do you long for 14 day days and 14 day nights?

4. Do you thrive rarefied atmosphere and appreciate the beauty of powerful dust storms?

5. Do you think you may have been born as a kite or zeppelin-like being floating in immense clouds of hydro-carbons and exotic gasses?

5. Do you "grok" things? Do you have a desire to save Martian princesses. Do you think that you could or should have been born a humanoid on any planet in this vicinity other than this one?

6. Do you feel your body temperature should be no more than a couple of degrees kelvin and that other than the stars you want to see nothing but a tidally locked moon from your pathetically small former
"planet?"
