This is perfectly stated. I wish I understood why it is so hard for people to understand this. It seems perfectly clear to me. Chelsea is Chelsea, and I don’t really understand it is so hard for some to accept that (not just about her, but other transgendered people). What’s more perplexing to me, is that so many of the people who can’t accept that buy whole heartedly into the rugged individualism ideology. So, it’s only “individualism” when it buys into a particular set of binary assumptions about how people should be in this world? In other words, they only want everyone to conform to their ideas about how the world works.
