I've been a leftist since I was 16. I was a member of PFLAG in the 90s and supported the LGBT on the 2000s. In my career, I worked to administer social services to people affected by AIDS, most of whom were gay men. I've always hung a rainbow flag outside my door and donated to liberal organizations that fought for oppressed groups. Since 2018, everything has been called into question. That is when I first saw a woman dogpiled online for stating that women deserve a single-sex rape center. I saw articles trashing feminists like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie for stating that boys and girls are socialized differently. I saw pimps glorified and girls groomed for sex work beginning on their 18th birthday. I thought the left supported women. All these years I've prioritized the oppressed and fought for them. I thought we were a party of camaraderie. How wrong I have been. I no longer trust the left. I have pulled all my monthly donations and transferred them to women's groups. I will never volunteer for, donate to, or vote for another candidate that doesn't know what a woman is and doesn't fight for women to be safe and free from predation.
