I am working class. I have packed thousands of cases of avocados, boxed thousands of clothes in a factory, and only recently moved to teaching. Trans issues 100% do alienate everyone I work with. They are brought up by many different people to prove that white people are weak and perverted. This is coming from Sri Lankan garment workers, Vietnamese seamstresses and Mexican avocado packers.
Sad but unsurprising to see a bona fide member of the working class downvoted for pointing out that some of the popular rhetoric is pointlessly divisive and does nothing to help the working class.
Many of todays activists seem to be doing anything but actually helping the various communities they are oh so eager to bully people on behalf of.
The folks I work with would never associate with the chronically online hexbear types you see here, the ones constantly blaming "crackers" for transphobia.
Hey these guys want you to have an actual standard of living. But they also want this thing completely irrelevant to you.
So fuck them right?
