Okay I finally thought of something and while it's not very personalized to me, it's something I could see as a benefit to all people. If the awareness of trans* people did not grow at all, then everyone who is would be stuck living in secrecy with no help at all. However, I see that with just the general gay movement, awareness of trans* people and the issues we all face is also being raised. Young people today actually have access to things I never had when I was young. There's a bit more acceptance that it's not just some mental disorder. While there's still a long way to go, it shakes up the gender binary and I'm all for anything that does that in society. While I still personally would rather have just been born a regular male and not have had to deal with any of this b.s. I can see a little bit of positives with it in that over time I would hope society in general would become more accepting.
