How many years for societies unconditional acceptance.

[herekitten]

I would guesstimate 50+ to never. Society, as we know it, imposes conditions on everything. I truly hope the day will come but I do not feel it will be in mine or anyone being born in this lifetime. Sadness that I won't see the day, but that's okay because I'm at peace and happy and I can't ask for more than that.

Never!
Why?

Human nature.

I agree with the 10-20 year guess. Will it ever be complete, nope but overall acceptance.

During this same period i believe you will see rapidly declining misogyny. Socially it is getting harder and harder to maintain such views. Women are leading males in a lot of areas such as academics. Older people are sometimes given a pass, but of course that will pass on with many of them.

I put down 20 years , but it's probably going to be longer, but it has moved fast in the last 2 years. Probably not total acceptance , but at least to a point of tolerance

I think all societies can change at will. Ancient Roman societies were accepting of homosexuality to a much greater extent than today, they had terms for different gay relationships. Hawaiin traditional societies were okay with trans women. Ancient Japan had male geishas and male oiran (prostitutes). Yet, all those societies become more conservative as the times went on.

Just because were growing in acceptance doesnt mean it cannot be taken away. But that takes years as well to change that.

I say in "x+100" years we will be accepted, if technology allows us to fundamentally have a cisgender body.  Then you will have riots about that too.... Just keep that a secret.

Not to pop your bubble but you do know how gene therapy works right? For that to even work we would have to be able to change all the cells in our body from an xx chromosome to an xy and vice versa.

It's not necessary to do any genetic alterations, because your sex isn't directly determined by genetics. Instead it's determined by what hormones are present during a critical period that starts about 6 weeks after conception and ends a few months after birth, and is later reinforced and maintained in adulthood by hormones as well.

The Y chromosome only contains a very small number of genes. There's the SRY gene, which directs your undifferentiated gonads to turn into testicles, and there's a few dozen other genes on it that are mainly involved with spermatogenesis. Outside of testicular tissue, the Y chromosome doesn't appear to do anything at all. It's the hormones produced by the testicles, not the Y chromosome, that cause male development to occur, and without those hormones, development occurs as female instead. There are certain medical conditions proving this to be the case (I've included some examples in the link at the end of this comment).

In other words, apart from the cells in gonadal tissue, all the cells throughout the human body appear to be effectively "gender neutral", and will quite happily function as either male or female cells, depending on what hormones are present. So no gene therapy is necessary, just taking the appropriate hormones for several years is enough to change the metabolism of all the cells throughout your body to match your chosen gender!
