Iain M Banks was making transgender the norm before some current republican politicians were born. I can't help but think that some of my ease with accepting them came from his amazing writing about a culture that could be anything they want, from child to adult, male to female, furry to electrons whizzing in hyperspace.
Meanwhile psychologists just name things as exactly blandly as they can. There's a neat phenomenon where a relationship can immediately be viewed as deeper and more connected, merely by one of the individuals sharing deeply personal information. It even works at the very first interaction. In other words, if someone tends to overshare, or blurt out info about themselves, we measure their blirtasiousness and its effect on relationships. Not even kidding. I think the folks who came up with it were Scottish, which is why the blirt rather than blurt.
I haven't met a first responder who doesn't have a pocket knife with the ceramic bit to break glass, one of the window punches, or in the case of firefighters, giant fucking axes and glass saws. I've seen them used in person, and if those couldn't get them inside quickly, well... holy shit.
Those of us interested in jalapenos have known about this for a while, and constantly curse that professor at A&M.
