the amount of people who think that social stigma cant be changed is beyond me.

This is one of those cases where when we open things up we realize that just about everyone has or does things that are stigmatized and we have no choice but to stop stigmatizing them, the secrecy and shame are self-reinforcing.

Yeah, it almost never actually works out that way, though.

Eventually perhaps, but is it fair to demand that everyone subjects themselves to that in the years or decades that that process takes?
