When it comes to trans issues for me personally it is the one issue I am least progressive on, I don't think the extremes we are going to today to redefine biology are going to be where we end up in the end. I think a more desirable end point is just less importance placed on societal gender, so it won't matter so much whether someone is a he or she in terms of how they live their life.

I see Ellen Page is now a he. Despite the fact (s)he is obviously still female. Wouldn't it be easier if he/she was just ze or something?

We do have gender neutral singular pronouns - they and them.
