My original motivation was curiosity. I've always been curious about adverse opinions and just wanted to know what's up. Now I participate both to keep an eye for movements that may swap to my country and as a grindstone to evolve my own opinion.

What would it take for me to quit activism? The moment I don't have to worry about access to Healthcare beeing taken away and trans people become normalcy is the moment I'll stop. Given the recent bills in Alabama and Arkansas we're still far away from that. And some days I don't think it's achievable, but I won't stop fighting for it.

I'm nut sure if 15 years ago was better or not. I'm not old enough to really tell. But I think that more attention is a necessary way to normalcy. I also like to think that more attention gives others with a similar story to mine the courage to come out earlier. But I personally would greatly prefer invisibility.
