"Saying he was a "woman" in an interview."
During a 1990 interview, when asked about the interpretation of "Rough Boys" and his sexual orientation, Townshend quoted, (from a book of interviews by Timothy White), "I know how it feels to be a woman, because I am a woman. And I won't be classified as just a man."
