On set, Alfred Hitchcock would always refer to Anthony Perkins as “Master Bates”.
Psycho (1960)
Love that Hitch, freakin’ weirdo mother fucker! LOL, that’s also what the script called the child character “Charlie Bates” in “Oliver!”…I was in that play as a kid, and we all got a kick out of that back then!
You can want a body, you can need a body, you can even love a body, but you cannot be in love with a body - you can only be in love with a person. The body is secondary, therefore gender is not so important in such matters - why is that so hard for people to understand?
