He just enjoys dressing up like a woman, and is relieved that townsfolk in Silverton have accepted him.

That's interesting, we'll definitely be looking into this more to see exactly what new evidence came to light that led to this conclusion.Gotta say though, we think it's a little problematic to say that it will be "all good" if we can just get the silly 'Gardasil will make girls slutty' crowd to pipe down.
