| I did not keep score of the number of times fellow students, teachers, and even family members mis-labelled me as 'brain-damaged', 'queer', 'retarded', or 'spastic'. Yet those people were all certain they were right because they "just knew" their diagnoses were spot-on. So, I know exact... |

| Quite the paradox, eh? Strict laws covering marriage and reproductive rights with a laissez-faire attitude toward LGBTQ+ people. Your right, it does seem very odd. I wonder if the strict laws around marriage & reproductive rights are a factor for why so many women there pursue the mail-order ... |

| Yes, surprisingly, their culture is very LGBT friendly; despite the Catholicism. They openly declare their orientations, even the parents and siblings know. There are many 'bakla' in retail and entertainment. These are Filipine men who wear makeup and women's clothing while acting in an exaggerate... |

| It's easy to detect the: gaze avoiding and flat or unusual tone of voice. The unusual or stiff gait is another obvious sign. I have seen these behaviors in people being arrested, people who are known to be drunk or stoned, and people whose intellectual capabilities and motor skills are known to be ... |

| Unless you have some means to verify your impressions, they will remain exactly that -- mere impressions. Next time your “aspiedar” indicates someone may be an aspie, you could try walking up to that person and asking if they are on the autism spectrum, but I do NOT advise it. Because they may resp... |

| I like it here. I am willing to put up with some "restrictions" if it means a safer, more peaceful life for me. The laws that prohibit or restrict things like abortion, divorce, firearms, illegal drugs, infidelity, et cetera do not prohibit things I want to do, anyway. The laws are more... |
