All the first three. I do alot extra too:

Out and visible trans-person on the LGBT network for my global employer. Including multiple articles, presentations to the highest executive level of the business.
Run regular trans* related event stalls at work to raise awareness for TDoV and TDoR.

Active member of my local trans group.

Work with Cambridge university to educate their 5th year med school students on trans* care.

I'm happy to talk to anyone about myself and being trans* in a very open manner to anyone who asks and wants to learn. X

Good on ya!

I donate cash to several charities that I have supported for years in the social, environmental, and animal welfare categories.  I volunteer as a firefighter, and on other community groups.  I help with the administration of the trans support group.  I advocate for trans people by being out and open about who I am.  I transitioned very publicly in a couple of hobby-related groups and I am an on-stage public presenter for one of them.

 Of course my experience goes back a long time. I give to schools, medical research, and transgender support groups. The later is a fairly new endeavor.  I also volunteer with Americorp showing people how to research jobs at the Job Works office. Many people coming in have never touched a computer.  I do not contribute to church's as I know where the money goes. IE Binnie Hinn asking for money at a Las Vegas revival asking for donations so he and his wife could gamble. Oral Roberts claim that he needed two million dollars or he was going to be called home. He must have got the money because he died fifteen, twenty years later.

Do I give something back to the world?
To give something back would imply that I'd have received something from it but this world has so far only ever thrown ->-bleeped-<- my way and nothing else so... Can I really give something back to it then?   

As for charity or helping to make this world a better place, if I had enough money to spare I'd probably invest some for causes that I deem important and necessary. Like investing in medical research independent from pharmaceutical companies or supporting the local animal shelters to just name two examples.
Hence I voted: 'no but I would if I had the money'
