I just want it on the record that you don't think trans lawyers go Karen over "bad service" or help union-busting attempts Also that construction workers throw bricks at trans folk.

What's bizarre is your belief that "lawyer" means one thing (Union-busting Karen, bad) and construction worker means another (stalwart working-class ally, good), when that's an extreme generalization. Maybe the trans lawyer votes straight Republican. Maybe the construction worker loves his trans kid

Or maybe the lawyer works on immigration defending undocumented immigrants, and the construction worker has committed multiple hate crimes. Your job never inherently makes you a good person. Your wealth or lack thereof doesn't make you a good person.

And what you don't seem to understand is that who the trans barista has the most in common with isn't a fixed thing. If she's unionizing, the construction worker may be her natural ally. If she's wants to change her legal documents, then she indeed might be in common cause with that evil lawyer.

You want class to be THE most important oppression. THE most relevant identity. And that's not always going to be true

Funny assumptions about what I "want". Possibly to do with the initial misreading of the post which suggested the barista wasn't trans
