I try to emphasize this point to people who are dispairing over the current political climate. Public opinion towards gay people also had a backlash when we demanded rights. Many countries have moved beyond that fairly quickly. I am still not dropping by Uganda anytime soon, but at least I feel fairly safe in my own country.

Transphobia is much less prevalent in the younger generations, just like homophobia. It will literally die out.

I look forward to getting to a point where people just casually try it out for a bit to see if they like it.
