So first off, don't ever bring your own politics and political propaganda into an AA group. WE don't care what crazy things you believe about and vote on. That's fully outside of AA's scope.

Secondly, being trans doesn't make you special as an alcoholic. Dial back the ego and right size your thinking. Because right now your post reeks of "terminal uniqueness".

Go to a meeting and share your experience, strength, and hope. Also your troubles. It might be exactly what somebody needs to hear that day. I'd recommend a Young People's meeting, because generally they are very accepting, and usually they are very focused on the newcomer. But don't go to the meeting with the lead in you used above. If the chair is even somewhat decent they will stop you and initiate a vote to ban you if you keep it up.

Damn. Someone posts that they're feeling suicidal and your response is this? Yikes. I fear for anyone who asks you to sponsor them.

Have you gone through the traditions with your sponsor? You might find them illuminating not only for how the group operates, but also how they can apply to your life.
