When do you think the general population will accept trans people?

[Serenation]

I live in a 3rd world country, Bangkok, Thailand, I live a normal happy, peaceful life and have total acceptance. The reason is that the people have been educated and lived with tg for as long as they can remember. There are no need for laws that define us....in fact they have laws that in the west could be perceived in the West as discriminatory.  They do not allow change in gender on the ID but we are all addressed as Khun be it male or female ...in fact there is no specific address that defines the gender. We are fully respected and referred by the authorities as Katoey the third gender. There is no animosity from the Katoey towards male or females.

I look ar the West and see this agressive TG population that are easily offended when incorrectly addressed and quick scream hate for those who discriminate.  We need to give it time and educate those that don't know.  We have only become prominent in the last few years and it will take a generation ....30 years to change many and time for those hard liners to die.  We cannot rush social change ....we need to educate and educate those that want to learn.  It's already better in the West in the last few years.  But we have a long way to go...acceptance comes from the heart...not by laws...

is stealth a thing over there?

[warlockmaker]

It's up to the individual to decide...no one cares and as your mind accepts this reality ...then you no longer care. I am proud to be part of a society that accepts me as a 3rd gender. I've lied to myself my whole life and to the people around me and I choose to be open about who I am .

General Population acceptance depends very much on geographic area. I live in Washington State. As a whole, I never get any inkling of not being accepted in the Seattle area. There are people in all areas, including where I live, that like to adhere to traditional values and concepts of what makes a man and what makes a woman. But there is something about the West Coast mentality in general I think, and perhaps mostly centered around the metropolitan areas such as Vancouver BC, Seattle WA, Portland OR, and of course San Francisco that as a whole cares less about traditional gender roles and but more about character content as a whole...
I know by the vibe that I get out and about in the general Western Washington area when I am in public as a very happy and content non-binary gender role person dressed in full women's clothes because it is is my comfort zone, people do not seem to care much to focus on what plumbing I have had since birth, but more about my general warmth and openness.
Is this the West Coast? I don't know. But I like living where I do.
