So some more reading on rogue, she is eventually "cured." Not of her powers but of a mental block that is keeping her from controlling them.
So as far as Trans people go, they are diagnosed with body dismorphia and the only known cure is transitioning.
Right, that's what I'm getting at. Storms message of accepting who you are and how you were born sounds great and heartwarming when applied to race or orientation. It completely falls apart in a world where trans people exist. It just seems really outdated.
I dunno, I think storm would be supportive of the trans community. I think storm was defending her own right to be a mutant with enough people telling her she's a freak and people saying they should all be killed.
I bet prof x would provide some psychic help to alleviate the pain of being trapped in the wrong body and beast could provide a less invasive way to fully transition using some gene therapy from mystique cells.
Well, it's just the usual if you apply some principle indiscriminately you may fall flat in doing greater good
