[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish the whole trans issue would just go away. Why is there more talk of trans stuff in the last three years than there was in the last 50?[/quote]

[b]Trans people have become more visible[/b] in the last several years. This has led to them being accepted and demonized a lot more. I don't know which of those is chicken and which is egg.

It has also become a proxy war over gender relations generally. The people who want to exclude trans people from things tend to also be people who want society to enforce gender roles more rigidly for cis-men and cis-women. The people who want to be more welcoming of trans people tend to also be people who want society to relax or abandon gender roles.  [/quote]

Trans people have become more numerous.  The numbers have skyrocketed.  That's why they are more visible, there are many more than there were 5 years ago, and many many more than there were 10 years ago.  [/quote]
Yes, people tend to come out of the closet more readily when they see other people doing the same.[/quote]

That's one explanation.  There are others.[/quote]
