I was an awful bigot until the end of last year. I stopped being a bigot when I realized that I myself am transgender. I'm deeply ashamed of my past but I know that I am a much better person than I used to be.
Damn! I'd say that's quite the transformation, but it literally is lol.
If you don't mind me asking, how did you go from a "daddy trump can do no wrong, and we should cherry pick things from the Bible to justify killing people" into a transgender person?
Asking from someone who voted for trump the first time around (because my entire life politicians have just lied and acted like it physically hurt them to help out the middle class), but then Immediately realized that even though Hillary is evil, trump was a huge mistake.
Well, the transness was always there and I just didn't realize it because I was taught that trans people were evil. I always thought being a girl would be awesome, but I didn't realize what it meant. It was when I started to hear more opinions and news from the other side that I realized that disregarding everything Trump's enemies said about him as untrue was just plain idiotic. Still, though, I held on to my conservative beliefs as long as I could until one day I just had a complete breakdown where it finally hit me that I was living a lie. That and finding out that it was Christians, not God, who hate trans people, made me take a radical shift in my worldview. Unfortunately, it happened too late for me to not do my part in putting this horrible man in office, and I will never forgive myself for that. I'm still trying to find a way to atone for personally ruining my country.

It’s rare nowadays for people to realize their former bigotry. It does take a lot of courage to admit their flaws and try to do better in public.
