| I cannot speak for everyone, but I myself do not conform to any gender. I may enjoy dressing in a way that is typical for my biological sex, but apart from that, I'm very androgynous. I will very rarely "feel" masculine or feminine, I just feel like me. |

| I'd attribute this attitude to intimidation and pride. People--not just NT's--are generally wired to regard things they don't understand or grasp as a threat, and, when people feel threatened, they'll typically respond by defending or outright attacking. "Bobby is sooo smart, he can get perfect scor... |

| Violence is a crime that infringes upon a person's right to safety and (in some cases) to life. Cheating is when a person makes the conscious decision to end a commitment with another person, which they have the right to do (even if it is really slimy). Cheating does not infringe upon anyone's righ... |

| I chose cheating. Either offense would cause me to walk away (or at least push for serious counseling), but cheating would lead to more lingering damage. If my partner hit me, I would feel betrayed, but the attack would give me the resolve to be stronger on my own and choose my future partner more c... |

| Ugh, yes, I know which voice you're talking about. I've never used it, and I never will, not unless I'm mocking it. I really don't get why it ever became a thing...it doesn't sound attractive, it doesn't sound cute, it just sounds nasal-y and stupid. On a related note, does anyone else notice that a... |

| For many people it's a non-issue, but some make a distinction between one's romantic orientation and one's sexual orientation. I first noticed this with asexuals, who may call themselves something like hetero romantic or pan romantic to signify that they're interested in others romantically but not... |

| Okay, thank you. I'd call myself bi, but I'm not sure if that would really be accurate...I've never had romantic feelings for a woman, not once. Edit: You know what? Whatever, I'll call myself bi. My attraction to women may have only ever been sexual, but it happens often enough to where I had to as... |

| I am comfortable with my sexuality, and yes, unfortunately, there are lots of people out there who would want to label me for the purpose of shaming me. But I am curious to know how the LGBT community, specifically, would define this. Or is it too nuanced to fall under any commonly accepted label? |

I am content to just accept my sexuality for what it is, but I am still curious to know how it would be classified within... |

When I was a kid, I only made friends because my Mom pushed for it. This continued into high school. There was exactly ... |

| Generally, your average society will expect men to take charge in a relationship. As you said, though, many traditional social norms are being reevaluated. However, these traditional gender roles are not going to disappear overnight, and many people support them without even realizing it (i.e., your... |

| Thanks, you two! Hello, and welcome! I've noticed that there seem to be a lot of Aspie meet-up groups. Perhaps that'd be a place to start hunting, too. If in-person is your thing, of course. I actually have been looking into Aspie meet-up groups, but life keeps getting in the way. Stupid life, ruini... |
