(This is part 9 of my observance of Transgender Awareness Month, my answers to the 30 Day Trans-Challenge.)
9) What is something positive about being trans?
I'm going to echo Brin's answer on this one, although she and I aren't really in comparable situations. Being trans has made me aware of my white hetero-normative privilege, and the inequality and marginalization suffered by minorities. It has made me more empathetic to others, more prone to include than to shut out. These are experiences I wouldn't trade for the world, no matter how hard it is to be trans.
