I call bs on that, you just think society is more accepting because you have a broader social network due to technology. People today are more accepting of gay/lesbians and transsexuals, but as for CDs it's still something that is frowned upon. Do we not still hear about SOs leaving and parents disowning ther children because of CDing? People or still people nothing has really changed that much, if you were growing up today you would still feel the same pressures on you as you did back in your real childhood.
I've lost count on how may times I've been told "oh I'm glad you not some ........ Cross dresser" when I explain to people who I am.
