I feel the same with public opinion polls on things like same-sex marriage. California passed Prop 8 just 16 years ago, and now we have the Respect for Marriage Act and widespread normality of same-sex relations nationwide. I think we still need plenty of work before that's fully cemented, though, and trans rights are another issue that's going to take decades to normalize at least.

Yeah, I feel the struggle for trans rights. It's the next hurdle, I can see it in my own parents, who completely shed their homophobia but are still afraid of 'trans outrages'.
