Sex "Hudson stated... that he had a fetish."
Posted by Dan Savage on Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 9:54 AM
But what was his fetish? Pink dildos? Cross-dressing? Public masturbation? Parking lots? Used cars? "Poor kid," writes Slog tipper Julie, "he's cute." Yes, he is—he's the kind of cute that could convince a person to indulge, or indulge someone, in a fetish that otherwise holds no appeal. I'd let a cross-dressed Mr. Hudson masturbate in my parking lot anytime.

Dan - There would be many. . . and I mean MANY cross-dressers that would say "FUCK YOU" for equating a part time transgender experience with a fetish.
Some wouldn't, but you don't get to make that call.

Dan - if you are going to be a spokes-peep for LGBT peeps, get a friggin' clue about the "T" already.

I'm not saying it's a fetish. I'm saying that Mr. Hudson said he had a fetish and I'm wondering what Mr. Hudson might have been referring to. While MANY cross-dressers might not equate their part-time transgender experiences—sheesh—with a fetish, perhaps Mr. Hudson does. Remember, TIA: Mr. Hudson is is only 18 and may be unenlightened about trans politics, identity, and prickliness.

Gee, they never say what gender conforming public masterbaters are wearing when they're busted. . .
I mean. . . i wanna' know what these dudes look like! Do they wear cargo shorts? vintage baseball hats? "Wife-beaters?"

Sadly this sap will be victim to our double jeopardy sex offender laws for the rest of his life. And for what? A pink dildo and some fancy pants. Please.

@4:
"Mr. Hudson is is only 18 and may be unenlightened about trans politics, identity, and prickliness."
True and i'll add he probably has no clue who he is yet either.
What gets me is the way this crap gets reported. . . over and over again. . . by people even MORE unenlightened about trans politics, identity, and prickliness.
As far as the "Seesh" bit - last time i checked there are a ton of different types of gay peeps with different names too, no?

@5: Because men caught masturbating in public are presumed to be dressed in men's clothing unless otherwise noted.
Bet he looked good in those fishnets -- not many guys can pull those off.

Can't we go back to belittling the asexuals like last week? At least all they wanna do in the parks is feed the pigeons.

I might be willing to try to pull the fishnets off him.

@13 - Welcome to Louisiana. Pretty much any place outside of New Orleans and Baton Rouge views any kind of sexual difference as perversion.

Future politician. Keep this name in your head because, in 40 years, he will be busted for the same thing in a porn store...and he will be a married Republican.

@9:
I see your point.
However with the way these articles are written. . .
For all those mainstream privileged types out there. . . they will see this:
any form of trans = fetishistic perv.
That's the big stinkin' problem.
What he was wearing isn't a crime and has nothing to do with what he was accused of.

@16: But you read it and I read it, TIA. You don't need some secret mainstream-privileged-type password to unlock and read the story. So I'd say the perviness is in the eye of the beholder. Some probably read it and thought "damn perverts." But a lot of folks read it and thought "daaaaaaamn." I know I did.

@13 & 14: 5 hours, not 5 days. I don't think any small Parish in Louisiana has the funds now to house any but the most necessary prisoner, no matter how objectionable they may view the acts that got them arrested in the first place.

@17
The police are just so used to writing "B". Just like when a new year starts and you still put the old year for a while.

It never ceases to be mind-boggling to see what passes for attractive in Seattle. It must be an ugly person's paradise. Which would explain a lot.
25
When the heck did fetish become derisive? For those of us who are fetishists or self admitted (if not self proclaimed) perverts are we now excluded from the LGBT inner sancta?
That's fucked up, if we are.

@20:
color me stupid but . . . If i am to understand you (and #25, i guess) you read this and see "daaaaaaaaamn." as in - damn, WTF is it with arresting this guy at all?
Or
fine, fair enough.
but. . . what the hell does being LGBT have to do with being (for lack of a better term) sex positive?
I am T - but I am also as modest as they come when it comes to sex. So shoot me. YMMV.
This story, and many, many like it, suggest or outright promote the idea that any and every stripe of LGBT = kinky (again YMMV) sex positive peeps.
Right or wrong, whatever. Some accuracy would do for now. Because right now for mainstream peeps, crossdressing = an element of kinky sex and nothing more.
For those like me that are "T" it isn't helpful. Again, so shoot me.

@20. . . or
are you saying the guy had a pink dildo, prono, and was crossdressing while trespassing, so:
"daaaaamn" as in - where was the pound of marijuana in all of this?

@26: The vast majority of transvestites are kinky heterosexuals. A small minority are gay drag queens. A very few are people who will one day realize they are transgendered.
I agree that this leads to a distorted view of transgendered people as freaks and perverts, and that's unfortunate. (Unless you happen to know that freaks and perverts make the best dinner companions.)

@26, 27: He was thinking "daaaaaamn" as in "damn that's hot." Because it is. (Unless you own one of the cars, and don't want this man's come burning a stain on the paintwork.)

I remember a day when small-town redneck cops knew everybody and their peccadillos and turned a blind eye to the harmless tastes of the local oddballs. That was back in the day when sex in the backseat of cars and on picnic blankets in the park was considered a rite of spring.

@30 the comments on his myspace page are interesting, with one comment offering to take him out to the strip club. all male strip club or a female strip club?
someone offer that boy a job in seattle where he can live around his fetishists. he's probably bi and his wife knows it and is perfectly fine with it.
