Can’t wait for society to reach a point where trans people don’t need to justify our transitions.

Can you imagine living in a world where it matters so little that you can just be like three years into a relationship and offhandedly mention “oh yeah my body was born one way and it didn’t suit me. So I fixed it.” And they’d be like “oh, neat.” And that would be it.

It really doesn’t need to be more than that. You don’t feel good about your body? Fix it. And the thing is, in a world like that where there’s no pressure either way, it would massively reduce the social pressures that seem to drive GC works like Shrier’s.

Because if gender/sex is seen as a *choice* rather than a destined fate, which it completely will be as soon as they learn how to transition reproduction, it’s very hard to continue the same kind of sexism we see in this world.

At first it would still be there, but as decades went on things would mix more, procedures will become more efficient, easier, and cheaper, and new generations will be increasingly brought up to account for people transitioning as a normal part of their world view.

The result will be that the human race will no longer be tied to birth sex. Since a lot of chauvinism has historically been rooted in the notion that men are born to be somehow *more*, the foundations of that view can’t be maintained in a world where anyone can easily transition.
