Whilst some progress has been made with attitudes towards sexism and racism (although some of the comments directed towards adz are completely unacceptable), homophobia and to a greater extent, transphobia seems to be much easier to encounter in everyday attitudes.
Personally, I've seen a friend's young child identify from the age of about 3 or 4 as the opposite of which they were born, and the difficulties this has caused, mainly due to social stigma is heartbreaking.
Good post mate.
