God bless John Waters for always being a beacon of sanity in an overly PC world. In an interview with The Spectator, he talked about — among many other things (including pubic lice), the media’s treatment of Caitlyn Jenner and how he doesn’t understand why we can’t make fun of her:
“‘The Bruce Jenner/Caitlyn thing is kind of old hat to me. I had a transgender woman in Pink Flamingos. She had breasts and a penis. She got the operation that week. That was radical to me then. Caitlyn’s a Republican, she’s on a reality show, and she’s a Kardashian. We can’t make fun of him or her?’
Waters also said he’s much more intrigued by female to male transgender people: ‘It seems newer to me. They look like guys I like, so it’s even more confusing. They ask me to sign their vasectomy scars a lot, which I do.”
