We're so much more as people than our biology.

My father is a "MAGA disciple" as you put it. I'm not, my uncle isn't, and his father wasn't either. Seems like neither ancestry or testosterone mattered there. Frankly I don't think anything short of a absolutely debilitating head injury could change me enough to support Trump.

I've had a few friends transition, and they're still themselves. Still the people I've always know. Sure little things can change, but your core identity as a person isn't measured by hormones.

Also worth considering you're doing this under a doctor's care. You're not an pro-athlete or bodybuilder buying testosterone from the back of a van and absolutely slaming the stuff. That's basically the only scenario where taking testosterone would really change you, but even then you'd just be angry not have a complete shift in ideology.

Either way testosterone doesn't make you or anybody else a Republican. One area Trump gained a lot of votes last year was from white women specifically.

I guess this is all to say trust that you are you and don't let Republican shitheads convince you that roughly half of the population is terrible
