See as they make up a smaller minority than most minority people in the US, I personally think that helping poor and working class people first would uplift them a lot quicker than letting trans people be trans. I mean it's great an all you get to be your own gender, but everybody will despise you knowing you got that way by tax payer money. If you got that way through working and paid for it yourself but were able to via worker protections and rights, the cultural stigma around it would be significantly far less vitriolic.
- plank_time 5y agoI don’t think there’s an if/else clause. Allowing trans women to legally be claimed as women is really just an adjustment in a database, as well as just treating people the way they want to be treated. It doesn’t cost anything to be respectful to people regardless of who they are.

What the parent was suggesting was 1% of the population multiplied by $40k+ in surgeries and drugs leading up to $120million for funding people transitioning meanwhile telling lower class people who work at crappy general labor jobs "yeah just pull yourself up by your bootstraps." Universally we can agree, helping all of the working class helps out all minorities seeing as most minorities are...working class.
