I was gonna give a longer explanation that goes into detail but it was a combination of a large amount of things

  1. I was raised with a general distrust of the government so when I eventually found things that they were actually lying about instead of random shit i was ready to believe it especially since there was actual evidence to go with instead of just because its th gubmet

  2. I happened to fall into slightly more left wing circles who were willing to actually answer my stupid ass loaded questions that at the time I didnt know were loaded

  3. And this is a really big one, I realized that crippling gender dysphoria is not a normal state for every cis dude and that I am in fact trans more importantly related to that is that the conservative people I know overwhelmingly hate trans people

  4. related to 3 but the fact that people on the left let me question my identity and beliefs without judgement for the absolutely stupid shit I believed at the time
