Or for the lucky ones that have nothing to fear (which, incidentally, includes exactly 0 trans people in the US), supporting their friends and other community members that have faced more challenges? This whole "being gay isn't something to be proud of" attitude relies on the assumption that the experience of being gay, trans, or otherwise queer is no different from the experience of being straight or cis.

Which might have been valid arguments in the 1960s or 1970s, but are laughable today given that the pendulum has swung very far in the other direction. And ultimately people risk social scorn for any number of things they do.
