Re: Has fandom changed your political views?

[(Anonymous)]

Significantly, and for the better.

Pre-fandom, I was a born-again christian, far right, voted Republican, the gays were evil and Harry Potter was witchcraft.

Post-fandom I'm agnostic, liberal, and transgender. Honestly, being able to accept people for who they are is much better than clinging to my old beliefs.

I'm glad you've been able to accept yourself, too.

This. Denying part of yourself really sucks, at least in my experience. Pretending it doesn't exist doesn't work in the long run. And yet feeling guilt every time you can't ignore it is the worst feeling. Hating yourself hurts, physically as well as mentally.

Glad you are in a better place anon.

thanks anon - and philstar too. I'm old and crotchety and sometimes the kids need to get off my lawn, but I'm a much better person now than I was in 99.

When did you realize you are transgender?

Re: Has fandom changed your political views?

[(Anonymous)]

don't know if you'll check for an answer, anon, but about 06-07. not directly through fandom, but rather, through contact with people who were also in fandom who were living examples of how reality was so different from my old assumptions. nearly 10 years after my first brush with fandom.

AYRT

Ah, I thought that fandom specifically (and not people) helped you to realize.
