Yep...in the prison community, the "pitchers" have never considered themselves gay, they only refer to the "catchers" as being gay. In fact, as you already know, they don't even refer to them as males. They call them by their female names and use purely female pronouns to describe them.
As the new inmates enter the system, they are indoctrinated into their "pitcher - catcher" system by the older inmates and told they aren't gay for following the practices.
I suspect they tell themselves whatever they have to in order to live with themselves.
