Honestly just speaks to the fact that we should eliminate gender as a consideration in all things. Let males do whatever they want and let females do whatever they want and let intersex individuals do whatever they want, and remove all consideration for gender but leave the biological categories.
I liked the trekkie version, where when casting Patrick Stewart as Picard, Roddenberry was asked by a reporter why they haven't cured baldness by the 24th century, and he said that by the 24th century, they wouldn't
care.
That's the takeaway I've always had from these stories, that its not so much a matter of people holding transgender identity, but that their identity
is their gender. Some people are known for their great works, their operas, the lives they've saved on an operating table, their contributions to the sciences, the bridges they've built with blood sweat and tears, the corporation they pioneered. Other people define themselves by where they want to stick their dick or have a dick be stuck in them. In the libertarian utopia, nobody should care what you do in the freedom of your own home. In the authoritarian dystopia, the inquisitors assemble a witchhunt to destroy your personal and professional life when you misgender a fat and ugly pedophile online.
Most americans were happy to let people have their liberties. It was militant social justice types that imposed this on people at the point of a sword. That it would devolve into a shitfest was an inevitability.
