Articles like this are useful, as seen from some of the comments below, to help combat discrimination. There are still many states where you can be fired from your job -- lose the basic ability to provide for your family -- based solely on your sex. That is in my opinion an absolute atrocity, an evil that should not exist in modern society.

Fortunately most young people I've met don't see sex/sexual identity as a problem in any context; in a few decades discrimination based on sex will fade the way discrimination based on skin color has faded. If only older folks could open their minds (or at least be willing to *read* articles outside of their comfort zone) the discrimination problem would likely go away much faster. Buck up and read the article, you might learn something.
