crying during the anthony bourdain french polynesia episode because after he gets all the gauche straight guy gags over with about visiting a third gender bar he admits how affecting it is realizing how humble all the dancers' dreams are
one just wants a husband, one wants to be a teacher, he remarks how sad it is that even in a reasonably accepting place like tahiti it's still hard out there for women like them
i think that's why i liked the guy's work so much, even when he did not get it, could not get it- he could admit when he didn't or couldn't, and did try to let people tell their stories in their own words
