The hostility. The condescension. Accusations of racism. Accusations of sexism. Being called a Russian agent. Being blamed for Trump's victory. Threats of violence. Ostracism or banning from communities I've been a part of for years.

Nothing really changed with conservatives. They hated me when I was a lib, they hated me now. But holy shit, when I started talking actual leftism around libs, it was like I was leaving a cult.

    Just learned about more trans people/PoC and heard them speak about their grievances first hand. The alt-right media sphere, for how much they talk about debates, never seem to ever expose their audience to any leftist ideas without filtering out all but the most absurd Zarna Joshi-esque examples first.

    Like she's a lib yeah yeah whatever but Contrapoints is basically single handedly responsible for me seeing trans people as like, normal people and not mentally ill screetching SJWs who are making up reasons to be mad at white men or whatever
