Not just your life. Your KIDS' lives. And that particular fear keeps a lot of people quiet when injustice hits someone in the face. NEEDING a job makes people put up with all kinds of harassment.
I grew up in the seventies. I was pretty D-MN sure that my kids wouldn't have to worry about which gender they were interested in at LEAST as far as being able to get jobs in areas like nursing, teaching, et cetera. And I was SOO confident that by 2000, civil union would be the NORM, and used for any binary combination.
S-groups as in Heinlein, I didn't think would take off until 2050 or so, but now it looks like THAT's at least a century too optimistic.
