Unfortunately, not all of it's good. On Pam's House Blend two entries talking about the DSM-V highlight some of those:

And whether it's called GID or GI, there will still be a stigmatization of the condition by society.

Additionally, I'm not sure why Intersex is now being added to GID as it really shouldn't be classified as a mental health issue. It should be classified as a surgerical mistake. I suspect it goes back to the idea that gender is a social creation only.
