While this is a huge wait lifted off the chest of the LGBTQ community as a whole there is still much to be desired. Police, for instance, are still indifferent towards the plight of transgender people. A number of rural and urban doctors still consider homosexuality a disease. They also keep telling me I need to exercise of good health. Let’s face it, the medical community is full of loons. So what’s the solution? Conversation. We need to have dialogue in order to bring this marginalized community to the forefront. Currently there are tons of inclusion initiatives being conducted by various corporations and diversity runs by organizations desperately trying to put a Band-Aid on their festering malignant tumor of guilt. But even our doctors will tell you that’s far too little, far too late.
So what now? Well, a grassroots movement would be nice. Change doesn’t begin with a person or a law. It begins when there’s mass discomfort. Or when a lot of people are little uneasy. Change starts when the uneasiness translates to action. When you go out and approach a person in need. It begins when you pledge yourself to an NGO and start working for someone else’s cause. Change is crowd funding a tinder plus subscription for me so I can actually meet someone nice.
