Until I joined this site a few months ago and I had always thought that the UK would be very liberal towards TS and CDers but I have learned from others here on the forum that there is zero tolerance for us. I can't believe it because take England for example, it is part of the Commonwealth, stable government, fair justice system etc...
I also remember the punk rock 80's look, I listened to David Bowie and Elton John and I have real good friends from England but I have never discussed CDing with them.
So why is a progressive country so intollerant?
Many years ago I was travelling in Cental America, I was on a 3rd class open air train, the trip was 7 hours and we were going through a lot of small towns. I made friends with some guys that could speak English but were from that country. We came to a town just as it was turning dusk. The town was actually more like a village and I could here some people from the train hollering at a woman in a long dress. She was standing in the dirt street hollering back at the train and blowing kisses at the same time. There were also a few 6-10 year old kids hanging around this woman. I said to one of the guys hey whats going on? He said oh thats a @0.^*) in Spanish and I said what?
He said its a man dressed as a woman and everybody is teasing each other. I said oh yeah, he said this is common when you are on the trains passing through these small towns.
I said what are all the kids doing following her around? He said yeah the kids follow them around a tease her. I couldn't believe it.
So why is a 3rd world country that we would say is "behind the times" and can be backwards actually be ahead of us in many ways?
