On a general level? Senator Lee Crawford, the man who created the Metasensory Regulation Authority, which in turn became Psi Corps and pushed the legislation regarding the laws for telepaths through. From what I've read, Crawford wasn't a bigot; he actually thought he was doing telepaths a favour. So changing his mind on the way of doing us said ( Read more... )

It's never easy to describe telepathy to non-telepaths. Many seem to a assume it works like an old-fashioned radio, with a telepath being able to tune and out of every broadcast he or she wishes.

When my mind, soul, whatever you want to call it had ended up in the station's system after Dr. Franklin put me to sleep the last time, it took me a while to regain my sense of self. But I did manage. I spent a while listening and reading and decyphering and trying to reach people. It's a minor irony that the first person whom I managed to talk to ( Read more... )

Depends on the man and woman in question, I'd say. Also, it's trickier when you're an adolescent with raging hormones, but in adulthood, friendship between men and women is certainly as possible as same-sex friendships.
