@JessTheUnstill right? And I feel it's not only Okay but also effective to stay in your own lane about it. Im canadian and white, of course I'm anti ICE but I have no first hand experience with that particular form of oppression, I probably wont be an effective advocate. I am trans, and afab, and disabled however, and I have a lifetime of experience of dealing with those particular forms of oppression and the motives of that oppression. I will probably be more useful there, and not just in canada. Not to mention, intersectionality is a thing, and I will undoubtedly come across someone who is oppressed by both ICE and misogyny, for example, and in that way I can help someone in an anti ICE way but itll be more in my wheelhouse. I dont know what happened to the world but yes, its extremely normal and okay to be an activist in what you know.

@maddy its weird because pre T, I definitely hated blood. I wouldnt feel faint, just nauseous. I found pre T that feeling would linger and it would take a while to fade. Post T I still hate blood, but it's as if I feel it all at once, rather than have it be drawn out. My call to action hits faster, and the reaction to flee comes sooner. Conversely, there are things that still make me uncomfortable but dont hit as hard as it used to. Pre T I would go into a full panic whenever I saw a bug, it would electrocute me, and my instinct to avoid it at all costs was completely overwhelming. Now, I still dont like bugs but instead I go into this weird calm focus, I need to kill it, I know my slight discomfort wont end until its dead. If I miss it becomes this weird challenge and I double down in besting this bug. I had no idea that the bug stereotype was real, but I swear its real.
