Hold it! This is for Life!

I find it hilarious that On the History Channel all day, they've had every possible use of "Da Vinci" and "Code" without actually delving too deep into the movie. One special was just the life of Leonardo (Leonardo Da Vinci, and The Code He Lived By)!

You know the theory that the Mona Lisa is a femenine self portrait of Leonardo? Anyone ever wondered if he was Trans at all? Assuming that St. John in the Last Supper isn't Mary Magdaline (I believed it was way before all the current hoopla), that's one Femmey looking guy. Same with his pic of John the Baptist ("Look up there!"). Not that I'm saying he is, but we trans artists love our feminine guys.

Maybe Da Vinci just liked Bishy guys? (Or, maybe he INVENTED the whole Bishonen thing to begin with!)

I can tell you this much if I was that John guy and wasnt in anyway trans Id be pretty pissed at Leonardo if that was me in the painting.

Who would have thought that a shoujo anime/manga staple could be traced back to Da Vinci? I think you'd have a hard time finding evidence for that or to back up any gender issues on Da Vinci's part...but they do give people something to wonder about.
