I don't exactly blame the Internet.
I knew I was trans when I was a little kid in the early 80's. Society and my parents mad me bury it.
I got on the internet in the late 90's when it started getting popular, and one of the first things I searched was transsexual and all I found was a bunch of porn and a lot of transphobia....it took me over a decade to even search again, and then I found much better places such as this. Actually being able to have conversations with others like me, it's what brought me out of the shadows.
I don't see this as a bad thing, the only bad thing is that the internet has also allowed people that hate to connect in a similar manner.
