I can say that in my lifetime I have seen huge changes in regards to acceptance (or maybe resigned lack of interest?) to cross dressers, and trans gendered members of society. One gurl I knew who was a cross dresser in the early 1960's (think it was 1961) actually was hauled out of a coffee shop in my home town, finger printed and booked as a "deviant" which was utterly devastating to say the least for her and the family.

Have we got it better now? I'd have to say yes, but it is entirely dependant upon where you live... There are still some countries, administrations and local "red necks" that still can make things unpleasant for us...

Cheers
