Change is difficult for many. Our society is evolving towards recognizing people who historically have been invisible or ostracized to dangerous and tragic ends. The pendulum of acceptance is finally swinging in the direction of seeing all the fantastic variations of who real humans truly are instead of shunning those that don't fit the standard mold. It saddens me to see so much resistance to these groundbreaking advancements towards embracing the beautiful variations of what the human experience really is. And remember, that pendulum has swung extremely unfavorably against so many people for hundreds if not thousands of years. And suddenly when it swings in their favor for just a blip of historical time, those too afraid to embrace the true chaotic tapestry of what makes each of us unique seem all too quick to make decisions towards returning to erasing those individuals who have just barely begun to be seen as human.
