Do you have a choice when you starve or work for what you can get? This isn't rocket science.

    Or I could pan handle. Or go to one of many homeless shelters/kitchens in my city. A couple options there.

    And on what planet would you not expect someone to work for food?

    Is pan handling legal?

    Didja know there’s often waiting lists for shelters? Didja know that food banks usually require proof of residency? (Good luck cooking that bag of beans if you are unsheltered. Milk might have a few chunks in it too.)

    Hmm, I wonder if you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

    They're options. I didn't say they were good options, just that they were there.

    The best way forward is to find a decent job that pays a living wage. Get your CDL or something, it's really not that hard.

    Epilepsy.

    I had a job that paid a living wage, they just made it illegal for trannies to have it 🙃

    You can learn to code. You could become a plumber or an electrician or carpenter. You could be a teacher or a mechanic or a government worker.

    There's so many things, I could sit here and list them all day, just pick one. I'm not saying they'll be fun jobs, but that's why they pay you.

    Just stop with the victim complex and figure shit out.

    I was a teacher. That’s illegal for trannies now where I live.

    Yeah, we all know that there are so many government jobs right now.

    I’m sorry you don’t live in a shithole where you can be fired for being who you are. Maybe fuck off with the condescension and unsolicited advice. Maybe you could learn to be an empathetic human being - I figured it out far before I learned to code, but we all grow in different ways.

    Then move or find a different career. I don't know what to tell you, except that defining yourself as a victim won't help anything.

    Yeah, fuck me for taking out student loans to go into a high need career which has abundant openings and need while also being too subhuman to be allowed to participate in society because conservative freaks figured out they could destroy the economy by convincing half of America that transgender people are pedophile freaks and a danger to all children.

    This my friends, is what we mean when we talk about privilege.
