Thank you!

I guess in some circles those views could be considered a little regressive or "old fashioned"

I'm pretty "old fashioned" myself. I'm from the rural South, and we tend to be pretty strict on how men and women are 'sposed to behave — but femininity is defined a bit differently than up North: being a "tom boy" is considered normal, and even expected in the really rural areas (like where I grew up). So our disagreements probably have some sort of cultural element to 'em.

I'm also pretty "old fashioned" on other things, like abortion.

Despite being trans myself, I just don't really relate with much of the transgender community

I get that. I disagree with ninety percent of transfolks on just about every social issue there is.

I probably don't belong in LGB spaces much either--I don't really relate with much.

I get that. I'm abstinent, so I don't delve into sexuality.

I'm not black and white on things like the unrelated subjects you mention, but I admittedly lean liberally with them.

Ah, I'm more of a Conservative, really. I tend to lean left on economics, but I'm right-wing on most social issues — apparently I'm "far-right" for not wanting to censor opinions I disagree with, and a "Fascist" for not wanting to take people's guns away (the irony is not lost on them).
