And, to be honest, even if GID was taken out of the DSM, people are still gonna say GID is in your head. People are still gonna say transsexuals are freaks. And people are still gonna try to treat you less-than-human -- No matter what external validation you bring to the table. Do not let others validate who you are.

That's my view point, anyway.

Some people are. Some people still today think homosexuality is a choice, and that atheists are evil, and that Obama isn't eligible to be president. Stupid people aren't going to go away any time soon, that's not really the point. The point is that these people are becoming a minority (or at least a far less extreme majority) by loss of respected recognition instead of the accepted as a fact majority, that they once were.
