Until the age of about 13, when I met some queer folks (I was straight at the time) and some people with undocumented parents, I wore my grandpa’s red hat at school. I was proudly against undocumented immigration and didn’t care much about the environment, though I was friendly with my peers and left-wingers, I just kept my beliefs and they kept theirs.
Well, that eventually changed. My grandpa became more right-wing, I became more leftist and now I am a proud leftist
When I saw what people were doing to the environment, how bad people were treating other cultures and LGBTQ+ people/minorities, and realizing I myself was being disrespectful when I thought I just had common sense and was “patriotic”. Also, I turned out to be bisexual
Bisexual with a STRONG preference for women
Nice. So basically listening to your built-in feeling of fairness and decency instead of stomping it.
Felt any class consciousness appearing or not yet?
