I'm hoping you got the joke, Herm. You know how you have your
moments. 
Yes, even REAL MEN have blonde moments. LOL!
I'm sorry y'all. This is a sore subject for me in a sense.
Being teased and called something that you are NOT works heavily on a person's self-esteem.
It causes some guys to feel like they are LESS of a man than the others. They feel like they are not WORTHY to go after the "good girls" because they aren't manly enough; so they go after the girls who are "less desired" because since the "good guys" are not after them, they're easier to get.
They don't try out for certain other jobs, because guys (or other people period) who make fun of them because they wore a pink shirt or some flip-flops would be more likely to get them anyway.
And it is not their fault that their dad was not around. It is not their fault that instead of teaching them "manhood 101" their uncle was raping them when he was supposed to be babysitting. It's not their fault that they say "child" all the time in coversation because that is all they grew up around being in the house with women.
Children are a product of their environment.
Who are YOU to pass judgment on what you think someone is? Maybe your FEAR of being "seen in public" with them is because the underlying curiosity YOU have will come out.
Maybe you are causing someone who is walking in deliverance and trying to get close to God to stumble and say "why try...if I wear the wrong color shirt, or show off my body that I worked hard for because I used to be fat...they're still going to call me a representative of RuPaul".
Somtimes what you say and how you say it can injure people. Not saying that I was injured in reading this, but someone reading this post who could be struggling could have read some of the comments and said "why try?"
