It didn't get me as bad. Mostly because I had the "luck" to see it when it was first posted shortly after it happened. It may even have made the national news.

Doesn't mean it's not bad.

This sort of thing is why I think that it may be more important to break the link between "physical sex" and "gender role" than to make other "trans friendly" social changes.

The gender binary may cause problems, but being able to pick (or get away with) either role regardless of your actual "sex" would eliminate many of the worst problems.

At the very least it'd limit the violence to the folks who don't pass well or are obviously doing genderfuck. That soprt of violence ain't right either. But it somehow seems like it might be an "easier" social change.

Not that it's an easy or even likely one. :-(
