Very inspirational. Samantha, I salute her courage and yours!
Another person of great worth to mention is the highly decorated former US Navy Seal Kristen Beck:

In the US, EEOD now covers GID and orientation, Obama's ENDA executive order covers GID for all federal employees and contractors.
On federal health care plans I have heard the specific exclusions of GD/GID treatment have been removed. There is curiosity if explicit coverage might be added to some plans in 2015 open enrollment.
I expect that these solid and broad protections will allow allot of people the freedom to actually be open and visible where before it was much more of a risk to do so.
There are allot of **VERY** conservative places that might start to see their Trans .3% in an open, visible, honest, and NORMAL light.
After the initial shock wears off, and the world fails to end, I think there will be significant and irreversible change for the better. Think of the possibility of several million people who currently have no idea of the reality of our issues having mandatory annual training on it.
We can hope...
