I'm enjoying these "experiences" being shared by "working class queers":

Daisy, 18: “Freedom of gender is usually sold to us in the form of middle-class cisgender men/women in non-conventional clothing”. This shows that if we do not see representations of queer working-class people we start to believe they do not exist.

Khaleel, 21: “Conversations around queerness were never had in my area,”

You know why "queer working-class people" don't exist? Because regardless of our sexuality, the actual working class doesn't give 2 shits about this nonsense.

Rent is due, we've got bills to pay and mouths to feed, our trainers/sneakers are held together with prayers and Shoe Goo until next month's paycheck, and we're worried that our POS car might break down again and we won't be able to get to work. We don't have the luxury of being concerned about whether our clothing choice accurately reflects our personal corporate brand identity to anyone else.

Exactly. The ability to navel-gaze that hard is a privilege even if the navel-gazers pretend otherwise. They also need to turn the TV off and maybe realize what's on the screen isn't actually real life.

Labour can't seem to grasp this can they? Working people are voting Tory at this point, yet Labour just don't get it.
