This "caring" about other people Macropus mentioned is nothing but a village mentality where people care more about what other people do or think and blast them for it to cover their own defects, funny how you say alcoholics are looked down up on and ashamed in your country yet we both know half if not more of the adult population is abusing alcohol daily, it sure as hell is like that in Croatia can only imagine it's even worse in Russia. The fact they are not labled as alcoholics by doctors doesn't make them any better. We have a disgusting culture of alcohol here in my country, basically every event in your life good or bad is a good ocassion to get drunk, lose a job, get a job, lose a family member, get a kid, get married, get divorced, graduate, may day, sunny day, just saw a rare bird, name it we'll get drunk for it.
This caring for other people is uttery fake, care for them if they are in trouble, hit by a car, passed out not when they are walking down the street in high heels and beard. It comes doen to fear of your own culture and ego, a mother/father that cares about a transexual walking freely in the street is a person that is afraid his kid might see it and do the same, yet their culture, religion doesn't approve of it and they would be shamed by the society. Oh noes how could a macho tough guy have a fanny son and walk the streets, imagine all the looks oh dear god my ego, better opress my son/daughter! Society pressure is hell of a thing, not easy to cope with not easy to get above it especilly in traditional/backward countries.
