I have been politicized from the very moment I was born, first I was made political for being Jewish, then for having divorced parents, afterwards my Autism made me fundementally political, and now the simple act of understanding myself as a women has made me a political statement. Nearly every aspect of my life from my gender, my sexuality, my ethnicity, my religion, my background, where I live, and who my parents are have been used against me in the name of politics. Yet after everything my political views are fundementally shaped by me wishing to be left alone and wanting others to hold that same freedom (AnSynd).
