Abstract

In this chapter, I draw attenrion to the criticism that has been levied at BL texts that specifically emphasizes, not so much the seeming youthfulness of their characters, bur their depiction of "inappropriate" and "incorrect" sex and gender roles that are likely to cause misidenrificarion and confusion among their yourhful readers.
