he's doing the boots theory but taking the absolute wrongest possible lesson from it lmfao
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socio-economic unfairness.

“Trans people exist everywhere and in every time. We exist whether or not we’re allowed to exist. Our existence is not ‘socially constructed,’ because we exist in societies that do not comprehend or construct us.”

I know this, but, right now, it helps to see it stated so plainly & to hold it close.
