I don't know about America, but in Australia trannies have been out in the open forever, I can remember watching Carlotta on daytime TV in the 90s, and she made her name in I think the 60s or 70s with Les Girls.
What has changed is that in those days people knew the difference between transexuals and transvestites.
I think most people sympathise with transexuals- whether it's an actual neurological problem or "just" mental illness it's a pretty horrible affliction, and from what I can see they generally just want to fly under the radar and live normal lives. The fact that creepy transvestites are representing themselves as transsexuals in order to flaunt their kinks in public is the problem.
