In an incredible display of just kind of saying stuff, 52-year-old liberal Isaac Shawn has announced that focusing on “trans issues” alienates the working class from the Democratic party, though he does not personally know a trans person, a working-class person, or anyone at the intersection of thes

        Because the best way to fight bigotry is through exposure. This is why colleges and cities run more liberal - because that’s where people are introduced to and live around a wider variety of people and cultures and realize “Oh, they’re people, just like me.”

        I’m working class. I’m trans. I’ve never met a Mexican farmer. If I said that I find caring about the issues that Mexicans face alienating, would the fact that I’ve never even met a Mexican matter? It absolutely would.

        The fact that none of the people that you work with have probably ever known a single trans person is very important to how they’ve formed their opinions.

          I like the spirit of this reply. Go 99%! I guess that means working class victories are trans victories!

        3-ish percentage at best, same as the general population, although most who are either won’t figure it out or will deny it to themselves.
