Jeez, Neuro, give me some credit. I know what you're saying. There are plenty of people out there who think you can "go gay", as well, who think that being a (cisgendered) queer is a choice. Their number is falling, or at least the number of people who are willing to admit to being one of them is falling. Even the latter represents progress if it means less pain for queers, trans or cis.
And the way that either kind of progress happens is by speaking out, and by appealing to the better nature of the Average Amurrican®. If the cis queers can do it, so can trans people. Yes, there are fewer of us than there are cis queers, and we're not as rich per capita, but the strategy is proven.
This is your virtual happy pill for the day, good for misanthropy and dandruff.
