I've been making an effort to bond with my fellow grad students, which means hanging out with them in the bar. They like to talk about 'nice racks' and the like, but then pause awkwardly and clumsily apologize whenever they say something inappropriate. I felt that was excluding me from the group, so I told them I can appreciate a nice rack and they should just treat me like one of the guys. It took them a while to buy that, and there was a lull in the conversation. And then Nick welcomed me into the group with: "Dude, you dress like a queer."
