Yes, I agree! But it's not always that easy. Someone who comes out to the world and loses his family, loses his job, is ridiculed or even has death threats will take cold comfort in knowing he may have advanced the cause of transgender people.

I happen to be extremely lucky in that my kids are supportive, my sisters and mother are supportive, and all my friends who know are supportive. I also have secure employment because I own my own business, so I will be coming out to the world when I transition and I will obviously be activist in support of trans people. But not everyone's that lucky.
