I have. Sub-continent Indians saw transsexuals and hermaphrodites as borderline holy. The Japanese at least acknowledged that transsexuals can be useful to society. Chinese seemed to have tolerated their presence as well. The Thai have been fine with transsexuals since they became Thai. Before Islam and Catholicism entered the Pacific Island nations, transsexuals were seen as necessary for society to survive. The same can be said for many tribes of Native Americans, with my favorite being Sioux general Red Cloud routinely giving war spoils to the transsexuals of the tribe after his lover killed herself.Originally Posted by Lorileah
While all of these groups have seen increases in the number of trans-people since WWII, it is far and away greatest among white people. In my opinion, it is so great as to not be explained by simply people being comfortable being out of the closet. At the same time, more whites were exposed to the various chemical agents of the 1950s and '60s compared to other groups. The numbers of people declaring themselves to be transsexual or "out of the closet" in other regions of the planet haven't gone up as quickly or to such levels, and most of these areas didn't flood their citizens with all these chemicals.
It might be a good time to expose yourself to other cultures.
