The Republican campaign against trans people is just radicalizing me further on the topic, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. Not just on the matter of rights and policy but also on my personal feelings about gender

I feel like elaborating on this a little. I'm a pluralist when it comes to the causes of gender and sexuality, by which I mean I think biology early development, and upbringing establish and refine boundaries, and then culture, personality, & volition act to push us around after that...
As for me personally, I have been fairly indifferent to where I position myself, because the default position that culture places me in is comfortable, and because poor mental and physical health has made me feel like it doesn't really have any practical meaning for my (personal, individual) life
So I guess you could say that I'm being turned toward actively embracing a more diverse and nonconforming gender presentation, & also cultivating latent queerness in myself that I've been hesitant to acknowledge for a lot of reasons. Actively participating and defining myself
Does this help anyone else? Probably no? I'm not egotistical enough to think that I'm engaged in some kind of radical project. I've tried to make material contributions as well (money, personal support, etc.). But I I'm trying to live my values in a way that reflects the world I want to live in.
