I have my own expat gender.  I'm going non binary, leaning toward 

16. The Self-Sufficient Guy 

 

Now if only the garden would produce more, and I'd take up fishing after we build that chicken coop.

 

Stopped reading at 16, so I may be bi ... or even pan gendered.   Do we get our own pronouns and alphabet & numeric acronym ? 😎

Oh how I admire your virtues!

 

Bigots: Anyone who holds a different opinion to him about race or gender

Nazis: Anyone who holds a different opinion to him about Trump

Crazies: Anyone who disagrees with him about anything else who he can't shoehorn into the above two categories

They are just stereotypes taken from regular home life. This thread is a bit of a bust. I suppose you could add the person who starts threads on expat forums because they are bored and assume everyone is bored too.

FYI I didn't read the list. I got as far as biker....then decided it was bullsh!t.
