I would, however, state that Social Media and the Internet can help with the fact that you can be anonymous if you want. When you are on the Internet, people only know what you hint at or tell them. Therefore, people can express themselves slowly.

Personally, I find that typing my feelings and taking time to write/post them is a much more comfortable way to talk about my gender issue than having to discuss it in person. In that way, Social Media and the Internet have their own positives.
