To be fair, a pious gesture is a lot more than what transpeople have been given historically, or would have been given by the PCs or WRP. At least they're being acknowledged in a way that isn't dismissive or demeaning. I think what ultimately needs to happen is cultural shift, similar to what is happening towards homosexuality, where it's seen as unacceptable to treat these people any differently than those who are cisgendered.
