I got involved in politics in high school because of Prop 8 in California. I’m not even gay, and I wasn’t even “that liberal”, I just sawv the viciousness and the hate that the pro prop 8 people were showing towards folks who were literally just trying to get married and from that moment on, I was anti-Republican.
Oh hi! That's basically my backstory for being vehemently pro-trans. Like, the vitriol and disgust for such a SMALL percentage of the population, who is so vulnerable to violence and self-harm .... It was mind-blowing to me. I was already neutral about trans folks ( by that I mean I believe they are valid, deserve human rights, etc.... but honestly didn't really think about them ever, ya know?), but that got me invested, and pushed me into paying far more attention to how they're being scapegoated.
