Love is love. All the labels do is make it "ok". I know two couples where the husband has had a breakdown and is like, "Lol. Suprise honey," and get a sex change. In both cases, the person's wife has stayed with their partner because they fell in love with the person, not that person's sex. Makes me wonder if you wouldn't see a lot more same sex relationships if that stigma was removed.
Of course that could just be a way to rationalize the cognitive dissonance caused by, "I'm a lesbian now?" I personally think that situation is one of the most fucked things you can do to someone else. Men with GID often try to play it normal for a long long time. Career, wife, kids. They get locked in, then dysphoria kicks in and the world falls apart for everyone in their life. Pretty sad to see. Saw it with my uncle. Status quo, sex change, or suicide? Those are basically the only options for trans people. All have serious negatives and will hurt anyone around them, regardless of the choice. Ain't fun.

I have a lot of hope for the future of society. I've spent a lot of time around traditional university students for the last two and a half years, and I am seeing very little tension around things like race, gender, and sexual orientation. This is, admittedly, a very progressive city, but I hope all these young people can spread the attitudes of acceptance I see displayed every day.
