If it makes you feel any better, /r/JustUnsubbed is just a right wing echo chamber. Most of the time people are “unsubbing” from subs that are simply friendly towards minorities.
Trans rights absolutely is political, especially when an incoming president decides that they should be barred from existing. It shouldn’t be, but such is the way of the world nowadays.
Stop letting conservative chodes sneer the word “politics” as if it’s a slur. Politics is real life. It doesn’t just means tax rates and zoning laws; it is an omnipresent power structure which can decide who lives and dies. People’s political views include the stuff where anyone who disagrees must be some sort of asshole - specifically because some people do disagree, and we gotta stop those assholes.

Politics drives lawmaking. Ignore it if you want, but when laws are passed that make your life or society worse, what story will you tell yourself?
We all understand the frustration of politics. But it’s still relevant.

Yes it is. Holy shit, how could it not be?

Basic human rights are a political agenda.
