I'm not American, but I get the sense that this "political homelessness" is something many Americans are feeling. I admire your country but it's in a tough situation.

a party who wants me to not exist, who wants to silence me

I'm curious if there's a better interpretation of "not exist" and "silence", because this sounds identical to hyperbolic TRA language. For comparison, we all know what we mean when we say something like "adult human female"—and it's not saying that trans people don't or shouldn't exist.

Right- not exist as in it's inconvenient that my existence proves you don't have to be a man to have so called masculine traits, and not exist as in have no voice.

I know what you mean. I also think this could easily be said of either party, for different reasons.
