You're looking from the inside out, dear Melissa. Sad to say, TG's really are still a strange unknown breed to a majority of people, so Renee Richards remains their prototype. Even I, nearing my dotage, have never (knowingly) met a TG who wasn't a sex worker.
On the other hand, the pace of acceptance is picking up, and poor Chrissy -- bless her heart -- has probably helped accelerate it.
Maureen Dowd won her Pulitzer for Commentary, by the way.
Here's Maureen Dowd's column on the beating of a TS in a Baltimore McDonalds and on the larger issues of being a transgender. The Comments about her column are worth reading, too.
The people that beat this woman up or the ones who just stood by and watched? I only wish the bystanders could be charged with crimes too. My heros are the lone employee and the lady in the pantsuit who come to Chrissy's rescue. Hpefully they will throw the book at these two perps but I doubt if they will be "rehabilitated". Be sure to watch the video in the article below - you will be impressed with Chrissy and her ability to speak rationally about this incident so soon afterward.
