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.

We should be more accepting, absolutely. But we should do so with the understanding it's something that we want science to cure and fix.
Simple question. If science came out with a vaccine to prevent all children from ever getting down syndrome and another for having gender identity issues, and all the mom had to do was take a simple pill before 1 months pregnancy to guarantee that their child wont have these issues... would you condone it? Would you advocate them? Would you fight against them? Or would you think the down syndrome inoculation was ok but not the gender identity issue one?
