Even if I had low self-esteem and still wanted to try to have class solidarity with the working class, you can’t have solidarity if they largely don’t respect you

My material conditions were much better half a decade ago (I lost most of my money in a gambling addiction), especially when you consider all the inflation since then and that was the beginning of my radicalization journey where I felt most strongly about it and was constantly obsessing about class conflict every day
So you were radicalized half a decade ago before your gambling addiction, and your life has been downhill since then? That makes it sound like you’re more tired than anything and are complaining about it in a hyperbolic way. It still very much seems like there is something going on behind the scenes, or words being interpreted in ways you didn’t intend, that would better explain why you were “deradicalized by transitioning” whereas countless other trans women have had the exact opposite experience.
Oh yea it might also be because I’m sober now tbh

That seems like it’s probably the much bigger factor! Do you think that after a year or two of sobriety you might find yourself coming back to radical politics? Best of luck staying clean in any case, and sorry about making assumptions and causing offense.
Edit: Insert LKN - “1Adika xeyl” here but genderswap it and replace tobacco/alcohol with weed/LSD/shrooms/MDMA I guess
No don’t apologize, you might’ve also been correct tbh. I think half a decade ago I was probably like top 2% or something and now I’m probably like top 3-4%?
Ironically achieving material comfort was a big motivator for me to engage in politics. I was more interested in helping others than myself at that point and also looking to self actualize more since I didn’t have to put so much energy into surviving and achieving financial security anymore
Well, I guess this has been a productive exchange, then.
