When it comes to human rights issues, is that really an acceptable timeline to work on?
We’d be severely lacking in notable civil rights improvements if we waited around for enough people to get comfortable. Pronouns are too far, but so was marriage at one point (still is to a lot of people, are we really comfortable enough?). So was just engaging in regular activities without being arrested before that. At what point was the American south culturally ready to accept desegregation? Were we conveniently ready for women’s suffrage at the right time?
