Eureka Moment 5

I was listening to the Howard Stern show and they were playing a game called "Guess the Tranny". They brought in 3 women into the studio and everyone in the studio had to guess who the man in the group was.
After the game the transsexual explained that he did not want to go through with the operation to completely make himself a woman. The emotional factors involved was something he couldn't deal with so he chose to get breast implants and live his life as a man dressed as a woman.
Later on in the episode Howard stated that as a parent, one would want his or her children to have every advantage in life and never encounter any problems in life. He went on to state that living a homosexual lifestyle while getting better is still not a universally accepted life style in the United States, and that the persecution and emotional tole on a child is nothing any parent would wish on their kid.
Before this class these discussions probably would have gone in one ear and right out the other for me. But now I stop to think about what it must be like for millions of people out there who stray from societal norms and that their voice is not heard or just plain ignored.
My eureka moment is that I realized now more than ever, diversity is more than just skin color and creed. Classification lines are getting blurred as we become a more progressive society. I'm looking forward to the future.
