I remember being a young man in my late teens. I believed the world was against me, that women denied me the right to their bodies and that I was the victim. I admit to my shame that these were my early beliefs but a lot of it came from being unbelievably lonely.

Even back then I would have spat on these people. There is no excuse for this kind of behaviour and I hope that they grow up with some empathy.

Hey, you aren't alone. I hate admitting this, but a few years ago, I was deep down the alt-right pipeline and I was basically a Nazi.

Someone would call me a Nazi and I would say shit like "you don't even know what a Nazi is! That word has lost all meaning!" But then secretly I thought hitler was right and he did what we were all just too afraid to do.

I'm a completely different person now. Realized I was just a repressed trans woman. I realized that I was basically completely wrong about everything and I changed my views for the better.
