I think people will accept transsexuals. Not ALL people, maybe, but many. Of course, it's a social transaction that goes both ways. Transsexuals have to engage the rest of the world in such a way that people will want to accept them (for myself, I try to smile at everyone and I tip at 25%). The main trouble for transsexuals is that there are so few of us--only one in 2000 people by some estimates. Most people don't know any transsexuals. As the gay rights movement has shown, it's easy to hate a group of people you don't know; it's much harder to hate someone who is your neighbor. <br><br>Lithgow is amazing. I'm very partial to his performance in Buckaroo Bonzai, which is completely off the rails. In my experience, yes. I think people will accept transsexuals. Not ALL people, maybe, but many.

I'm wonder if people will ever really accept transsexuals. Hate and fear die hard. Oh, and you gotta love Lithgow. Who else could pull-off Roberta, then turn around and play her polar opposite in Footloose? Nice commentary. I'm wonder if people will ever really accept transsexuals. Hate and fear die hard.
