How has is benefited me? I guess I did get the strength of both sides of the brains, the raw computational and spacial reasoning of masculine and the creative, intuitive side of the feminine. That's an added bonus. Would I have that had I been born in the congruent body? I don't know and I'll never know. All I know is that it's a benefit that I am willing to credit to my GID.
But yes, I agree that it also makes me appreciate things more. That not everything is a given and that sometimes we have to fight for what should have been ours in the first place. Some people are adventurers and see wondrous places. Some have traveled around the world, others beyond it. I consider myself blessed in that I was able to see humanity from two perspectives.
