Bentley Hudgins has discovered that online bigotry sometimes trips over accidental affirmation.

“Some of them are like, ‘I can’t tell if you’re a man or a woman,’” Hudgins says. “I’m like, ‘Thank you. That’s the point.’”

Another stranger declared the Georgia Democrat a “coward, sir.” Hudgins’ reply: “Sir? Oh, is that how this engagement’s going to go? Thank you for your politeness, and I’m not your dom, so don’t call me ‘sir.’”
