I was trying to be generous with the "verdict is way out there" part. There will never be a day where a human is actually a dragon.

I am aware of a woman who is also a cat. I watched her belly dance in a jungle to a track by the artist Deep Forest. It was the first time as a preteen that I realized how sensual women could be. Or rather, cat women.

There are people who have the genuine belief in their "other" aspect of themselves. So thats how they prefer to be referred to. I think poking fun at that is unnecessary and wrong, its kind of as simple as that. Not something exclusive to this situation, just a pretty decent general rule.

What I would say the verdict is absolutely out on is a "why", and the impact it has on individuals. So a bit of courtesy and basic decency is all thats needed.
