While I'm happy toes are being dipped into legal waters, I highly doubt this will change until social movement follows. Many people still believe there is a gender binary, that there is only "male" or "female." I think trans is more accepted compared to those who biologically fall in between, as the trans person still technically fits themselves into the binary. There should be more social exploration into the spectrum of gender and the idea that yes, there can be more than two. That said, any change in the right direction is excellent to hear. Lois Gould wrote a children's story about an intersexed child. I always think of it when these discussions come up.
