"But I'm a man!"
He sat for a long time, looking at me. "Among your people you hafe men who love other men?" I nodded slowly. "Women who love other women?" I nodded again, " are some in land who are born men, but feel like girl here." He touched his chest, then his head. "They dress like girl, act like girl, with women they are girl, but with men, they act like girl. Man sees you in woman clothes, he think you one of those."
My mind was fuzzy. If I dressed like a girl, I was a girl? It didn't make sense.
"Men here, some like those who are girl-boy. Even if he not like you, he know one who will. As long as you patient, you safe. but you be well in short-short time and will have to help the women. Before too long, man try to take you. You fight, he think you tease. Maybe rape."
So I could hide until someone decided to bend me over. I didn't want to do this, but I didn't havd a choice. "I will think on this."
