Don't forget Tyrion - who had so much compassion for Bran and for all creatures different from the norm - sees a hermaphrodite and his thoughts automatically go to "FREAK!"

I mean, wtf? Where did that come from?

Satin was tragically under-used in the book. Why is he even there? He's like a carrot on a stick that GRRM keeps promising to give us, but whenever we reach for it he whacks us over the head with the carrot. Satin doesn't do anything except serve as an example of "This is teh ghey. We don't like them." Every scene he's in, someone is focusing on his sexual history. :(
