Legitimately interested here, because I think both those groups have more rights/protections now than they ever have had in the past, but I'm not either so maybe I'm missing something...
I think the issue with what Cliff said and how he phrased it isn't that it isn't true. The problem is that it flippantly dismisses people that are still struggling to live and be accepted.

Look at how grotesquely 2Stonedbirds just described trans persons.

And it becomes increasingly troublesome to hear when certain places - such as Alberta - seem to be purposely taking steps backwards and making life more difficult for certain groups.
