I'm finding that as I am farther along in my transition, I a more apathetic about social injustice. I think it's mostly because I figure I've gotten a chance to fix my biggest problem in life, thus don't feel the need to raise a fuss on behalf of everyone I presume to be as miserable as I once was. I am also about to turn 25 in a couple of weeks, so I wonder how much of it is transition related and how much of it is due to the fact that my mind is in a different place than the 18-20 year olds I take college classes with.
A few weeks ago I was amazed when a girl lectured me about the responsibility I have as an individual to make the world a better place, one person at a time. I felt like I was looking at a replica of myself years ago. And though her words didn't inspire me to care again, I was definitely amused by the experience. For the first time it started to hit me how much I have changed(internally) over the past few years.
Any similar experiences/observations?
