"My boy's-name or my girl's-name?" (6.195)
Herzog has black-and-white ideas about what women are like and what men are like. But these ideas are thrown for a loop when Herzog enters a courtroom and sees a transgendered prostitute who offers sex as either a boy or girl, depending on what clients want. Herzog has based nearly all of his life judgments on the difference between men and women. So what's he supposed to do now that he's seen this teenager who claims to be both? Ideally, he'd just ignore this challenge to his ideas. But he can't.
