After seeing a few threads about transphobia related subjects, here is my next question for everyone.
There is a saying "always was, will always be"
1. Do you believe that transphobia is something that "always was, will always be"? Do you believe that transphobia has existed since the beginning of time, and will exist eternally? Do you believe that transphobia will get worse, or fade away in the future?
2. If you had to pick one of these, how would you describe the progression of transphobia?
a. Always was, will always be
b. Transphobia has existed since the beginning of time, but will slowly disappear in the future
c. Once upon a time, transpeople and transanimals were accepted, we went through a phase of transphobia for 6000 years (give or take) due to civilization, and transphobia will slowly disappear in the future
d. Once upon a time, transpeople and transanimals were accepted, and transphobia slowly emerged and will just get worse and worse
e. Transphobia has always existed, and will just keep getting worse in the future
3. What percentage of the population do you believe actually treats us with respect if they know we're trans? Do you think it varies from place to place, with some places being drastically more trans accepting than others? I have heard everything from that as many as 90% of the population will accept you if you're trans, to 99% of the population thinks we're not even human.
Edit: New Question
4. In light of the other day's bomb threat at Trans Pride L.A., do you think that we transgender people are treated worse than terrorists are?
