Yeah, being trans is radicalizing as hell. You get to experience how awful even (and especially) libs can be, how fake and performative the supposed allyship of some people is, you also learn the importance of community and solidarity and how kind and welcoming others can be, how much capacity for love and care humans have when their heart is in the right place. And maybe you already need a certain radicalism to come out, it always seemed like a revolutionary act to me to put on makeup and a dress when i wasn't passing at all and go out there trampling on people's ideas of how gender works. Or to take these chemicals and hack my body chemistry, get myself blasted with lasers, prepare to be cut up and put together in new ways, overthrow unlivable material conditions and replace them with better ones that actually fit my needs. What's more communist than turning your own body into the laboratory of revolution?
