To look at it another way, some people have a natural advantage in life that they did not earn. This helps even that playing field.

Yeah pretty much. And no one should be against this. This is allowing people to be who they want to be instead of being limited by who they are... It is no different than someone getting plastic surgery to change their appearance... which I

Well the issue with our times are things become obfuscated to such an extent through various forms of rhetoric and public relations that you can not think about them in any way without it being easy for the power structure to dismiss them a
