"I was one of the critics that sat on the side and made the decision that there was only two genders,” he explained to the assembly members. “So I got an education that was unbelievable. And I don’t know exactly how to say this, but my perspective for people have changed. So I don’t want to take up no more of your time. I’d like to apologize for being here, and I learned a very lot about this group of people."

Not just the willingness to accept new information and modify his beliefs, but also to apologise publicly in such an elegant manner - great to see.
