And if it becomes 'cool' - well that's sad. Accepted should be the key point to make, not 'cool'. When things are 'cool' people emulate it and reduce it down to a trend or a fashion. People who actually identify as such-and-such are diminished as a result, I believe.
I won't pretend to know the root causes of transgenderism and why someone might identify as the opposite gender when biologically something different. Nevertheless, the increased publicity for transgenderism may actually perpetrate more harm than good because now people will be allured by a perceived constitutional right to identify as however they see fit, and use this to their prurient advantage. What stops a 15 yearold boy from saying, "I feel like a girl, let me into the girl's locker room?" What stops a 48 yearold man at the gym from also identifying as female and insisting on joining nude ladies as they enter the tub? What prevents a male college freshman from suing a university for not letting him into a sorority, or a marginal elite male basketball player from insisting that he be allowed into the WNBA because he feels female? There are so many ways in which this situation could be, and likely will be, abused.
