Thanks for sharing your story, Ada. It’s a very interesting perspective. I never would have thought about a lot of elder queers being more “conservative”, but it makes sense. The amount of courage you had to have to make that huge leap and overcome internalized transphobia is significant!
I mean, it’s not a universal trait or anything. I’ve found folks my age that I get on great with. But the communities themselves tend to be more conservative and less diverse than I like.
