part of her story seems to be the only people who did accept her were the militia folk. if memory serves she got booted from the army(?) and her family when she came out. she didn’t feel like she fit in with progressive lgbtq community - that wasn’t her or her upbringing - so she wound up radicalizing herself instead
it’s like a cult. and i wish our prison system had rehabilitation built in because i think she should have the chance to make new, less harmful choices. ( whether she will of course is anyone’s guess. )
