In some cultures letting a gay or trans person live is unconscionable, there is no link between how random cultures feel and morality. There is no reason to base a progressive and modern society on cruel social traditions.

If you want to change your gender at this exhibit in Australia then you are free to do so, if your cultural baggage makes the idea disgusting to you then either work on that or choose to miss out on this art and many other beautiful things because maintaining hurtful traditions is more important to you.

Your last point is very true. Thank you for framing it like that.

Edit: That’s not to say your first point isn’t true, just that I believe that a distinction is necessary between choices that affect only oneself and choices that affect others. I just felt it was poignant how those choices and baggage that affect our worldview also narrow our experiences
