One friend from high school, an ex boyfriend from college, and a regular on a forum I've frequented for years, have all come out as trans in the last decade. And all of them had VERY significant mental problems beforehand (and I don't mean you're run-of-the-mill depression/ADD/bipolar, I'm talking really out there).
There is also a fourth one, a friend of a friend, who I met *after* they had already come out.
That's not counting the two YouTubers from Channel Awesome who have come out since leaving the site, nor the countless trans people around the internet.
EDIT: I also forgot, another college-friend's oldest daughter is now her "son."
EDIT #2: And a teenage girl at a theater I used to volunteer at referring to her obviously female friend as "he."
I'm fine with already-trans people, but not people I know "coming out"?
