Once again I may be answering for someone else, but here goes anyway. It could be considered in canvassing this question:
When slavery was abolished in the U.S., the humans who profited by it or simply used slaves as workers just had to do something else. The plantation owners paid workers instead of owning them. (I am not suggesting eating meat or raising animals for food becomes a crime.)
When women were given the right to vote, after being considered chattel for long centuries in parts of the world, those who felt empowered by their artificial superiority over women just had to deal with it.
Would anyone want to reverse either of these changes to accommodate diversity or free will?
Humans will always be diverse given any set of parameters. There is more at stake here than just humans. There is the ecosystem, the planet, of course the animal kingdom, even our survival.
I'll let a great scientist say a few words here...

"Our task must be to free ourselves...by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty." —Albert Einstein
