The only issue I might have is that some of the bigotry might start coming after me for associating. I’d like to think I’m the sort of person that would stand strong against that shit but I recognize that’s easier said than done from a position as relatively comfortable as the one I’m in.
Who am I kidding, though? I’d never think through the question as long as I did being asked it as a hypothetical. I’d date her and then maybe regret it later for the tangential reason.
you are the first person to mention this! I'm shocked all the focus is on gentials when I would think the stigma and being a political scapegoat would be bigger concerns!
Follow-up question: what if she were cis passing and you didn't experience stigma being in public together?
