Political Views

I understand how my views would be different if I haven’t lived exactly like I have. Want I don’t understand is which way I’m supposed to go when I’m explaining how different my views COULD be. I could be more left, more rights. Hate guns. Love guns. It really depends. I think if I was born as a P.O.C I would be more racially aware. I’d like to say that I’d be just as open-minded if I was born a straight white male, but I can’t really say for sure. A straight white male is no longer me. It’s now a straight white male born to my family, not Cidette as a dude.
Level of education
Being a person with a higher level of education than the nation’s average gives you the advantage of tending to have a more open mind (in my experience, at least). In addition, there’s an ability to form my own opinions and expand my world views that aren’t similar to my peers. It’s popular in public schools to beat people up if they have different views/opinion/identity than you do, and we’re lucky that we can be open about those kind of things in this regulated community.

Family income
Being someone who comes from an upper-middle class white family, I know my privilege. Luckily, my parents do as well, so (for the most part) they’re not much like the stereotypical ‘Money-hungry’ republican families some people like to make out of the well-off. I can buy new clothes every year. I have the ability to eat three meals a day. I go to a school where it’s two-semester tuition was more expensive than some college ones. I know I’m privileged and I’m very grateful to be born to a family like such.

Region of U.S.
Being born in the Harris County, and living in the Harris County all my life, I am relatively close to the border. I honestly don’t know a lot about borders in general so this will be short and frugal. I know some people are for Trump’s wall and some people aren’t. I don’t like Trump’s wall because it’s ridiculously expensive, unnecessary, and invokes a racist stereotype on Mexico as a whole (‘We need a wall because they’re all terrorists and criminals!!’ Getting a wall would only support those suspicions farther).

Racial group
I’m white and by being white I’m privileged. Pretty straightforward. I wasn’t enslaved for being white (not in the West, at least) and there’s no active nation-wide hate groups against me.

Religion
I’m agnostic, so I don't really have any strong standpoints. I make positive jokes a lot about how God is a woman, but I think that if I was a Christian I’d think that God is an ethereal being that has no gender and that Jesus was just a vessel that God chose to posses. Being agnostic, I also get the privilege of not being a consciously persecuted minority group, like Jews or Muslims.
Sex
I am a female, and there’s a lot going on around sexism in politics. It feels weird not to be represented in office as well as men are and it’s frustrating. I don’t have a lot to say on this either. I don’t have a lot to say on most of these because I focus most of my political views on things that affect me more than other things do. I pay more attention to my rights as an LGBTQ+ person because I’ve been harrassed for being a f*ggot more than I have for being a woman, agnostic, white person, middle-class-income person, well-educated person etc. If there was a section here that included ‘sexuality’ than this would be a lot longer, trust me.
