The thing I think about everyday is, like, three years ago we were looking at anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorists talking about the WEF and "the elite" and being like "y'all are crazy" and now I'm like, "IT'S THE ELITE CLASS LYING TO US"

If more people had real empathy, imagine how radical things could truly be! Yes, there is such thing as "toxic empathy," but it's not the BS people are saying it is and co-opting the phrase just so they don't need to care about anyone but themselves. 👻

It’s a long list but this was pretty formative #whatradicalizedyou

I was 13 in 1997.

I read an article about the Taliban and the rights of women being stripped away under the guise of religion and modesty.

I’m still mad.

I grew up Middle Class in the 1970’s. Parents’ divorce plunged everyone but my dad into poverty. Then I went to a very expensive private university full of privileged East Coast Republican kids. I have feelings about those experiences. #whatradicalizedyou #demsforever #votebluenomatterwho

What I have not yet learned is why any of this is radical.

We all have the right to discover who we are, and the words we use to define ourselves, in our own way, and our own time.

I am tired of being asked what radicalized me. When I was 8, I saw through religion, the concern of others that was only for themselves. I saw through the nightmares of Elie Weisel and George Orwell what the world was. #whatradicalizedyou #fuckthegovernment #writemorepoetry #poet #poems

Not that I think it's a one to one experience or anything, but I quickly went from "sympathetic" to horrified by the idea of anyone being forced to de-transition in any way.

... I guess it was another #whatRadicalizedYou kind of moment?
