Maybe it will become so common, the way being gay has done, that nobody will think much about it. Everybody knows several gay people, everybody associates with people of other races, and as of about 5 years ago I knew a transgender person fairly well, and I'm in a state of the US generally considered backward. All this stuff matters less than humanity, and I think society as a whole is getting it. Slowly in some cases....
I'm not trying to minimize the problem. I've heard some hateful people. I've wondered, "What does it have to do with you? Do you think that because of your delicate little persnickety feelings another human being shouldn't live a good life?" Maybe one day soon I'll say that to them.
