I'm mixed. Some people take things too far such as getting offended at gender neutral pronouns or getting angry when someone misgenders by mistake. I've seen some people tiptoeing around me out of fear that I'll rage on them if they accidentally use the wrong pronoun and it's honestly sad. People shouldn't have to fear retribution for a mistake.

I'm honestly terrified to show who I am outside of my home too unless I'm at a convention that's open to it. Right wings are getting scary and I'm in Ohio.

I'm otherwise okay with showing some pride within certain areas. I just feel like I should be more reserved about it.

Agreed, the red hat brigade is very prominent in this state, and weirdly stealthy about it. Jan 6 revealed a loooot of disgusting behavior in my workplace at the time, as did the BLM protests. Lot of antivax nuts too.
