Token what though? What's the context? Clarity, Vyvyan, elucidate!

I think i am a faggot on the newspaper staff, the only faggot who writesa about faggotry therefore gets that sort of writing

Being a token sounds kind of like being an object. Except you probably get politely ignored instead of crudely focussed upon.

people who are tokens often get crudely focussed upon as well - they are "exotic". perhaps you could write an article about token fags and how degrading it is to be in that position, if your suspicion of being one is strong.

You've obviously never been picked to live in a house to find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real, Geoff.

How do you deal with it, Anthony? I dunno. Milk it, I guess. What Di said.

The easiest way to tell if you're a token is if someone tries to stick you in a turnstile so that they can get on the subway.

Or if you write about hobbits, orcs and the like.
