Did you know that the working class includes trans people? You're acquiescing to a right wing fantasy alienated from the history of the left. Worker struggles have always most successfully advanced by understanding and integrating, not denying, the many ways people are oppressed and marginalized.
What the hell is cis? Which side am I on? I’m on the side of the working class. Which the left used to be.
Nah man, straight white cis dudes trading others' rights for their own economic gain is way older than 2020.
Which side are you on? Which side are you on?

Tomorrow I’m presenting my MDiv Capstone Project to a small group of chaplains, scholars, and comrades. It’s called “Chaplaincy, Capitalism, and the Courage to Be.” I’m nervous and excited.
