There's no need to state that; Bernadette is a trans woman, not a man.


* AmbiguouslyBi: Bob married Cynthia, an Asian stripper and prostitute, after a night of drunken sex with her. He seems to feel little affection or desire for her (though this is no doubt at least partly due to how obnoxious she is) and isn't all that sad to see her go. Meanwhile, Bob has a rather odd interest in and knowledge of drag shows for an Aussie Outback bloke, and grows increasingly close to and eventually involved with the biologically male Bernadette.
