Which is great, our society has progressed to a point that being gay is no big deal. (And I'm sure that millions of people will disagree with you here, but I enjoy the optimism).

So why not do what we've done with homosexuality and make it more accepting? Progress so that being transgendered is no big deal. How about we don't call for the cure, the same way people were calling for the cure of the dreaded homosexuality disease.
I mean, it wasn't long ago (hell, even in the west it's happening today), that being gay was
terrible that no one would want on their child either. I can't believe you can't see the parallels.
