funny and telling quote

[jenk]

From Becoming a Black Man, about transgender people of color. I'm not qualified to comment on the overall article, other than to note that it made me think. But this note on how one man teases teenage boys "who talk about "fags" and refer to women as "bitches"" made me giggle:

He pulls the teenagers aside and uses a bit of reverse psychology, telling them that it’s okay if they’re gay. When the teens protest that they’re not, [he] says, "You have no respect for women, and you’re fixated on gay men. What am I supposed to think?"
