Congrats on your realising your identity (both gender and political)! We have to take our wins where we can get them. I have become more politically aligned since the start of the pandemic too, and I learned that taking care of myself is quite nice, actually.

Also yeah, the west is fucked. Hopefully the global south will take over and be better stewards than we were, and also hopefully we won't get too hurt in the west's death spasms.
