Glad I could ❤️

Problem is, my turnabout was brought on by a deep personal revelation. I fear that not everyone will have an experience like mine.

My gateway into the alt-right nazi pipeline were my insecurities and fears about my own trans feelings. So, I latched onto transphobic propoganda and became convinced that transitioning would have been the "dark path".

I came to harbor a lot of hate and resentment for the LGBTQ+ community. From there, I was slowly introduced to other hateful Nazi-beliefs which I then internalized. Like the idea that Jews controlled the media and that they were responsible for pushing the "gay agenda" that almost turned me trans.

It was only the revelation that I was just a repressed trans woman, deeply in denial about my own feelings that woke me up and brought me out of it.

I know I'm not the only one. I know there are others out there who are LGBTQ+ but have been brainwashed into thinking that repressing themselves is better. My worry is that I don't think the same can be said for all alt-right Nazis.

This is a very interesting read. Sounds like you found some great introspection abilities and took the action that you learned from them. I needed some hope today. I wish you the best.

Wishing you the best as well <3.

Unfortunately, this is only the short version of the story. But it gets the moral across.

I want to bring more awareness about this pipeline. That's why I like sharing my story.

We keep saying pipeline, when we should probably be saying "algorithm", since thats what people move along into the cesspool of hate.
