Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

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.

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.
