I think it's two different conservative talking points morphed together:
- "If we give homeless people money, they will just spend it on drugs and alcohol"
- "Poor people are poor because they spend their money rather than investing it."

Just got back from a convention in a progressive city where I went out of town with no guy clothes at all. Full femme for 5 straight (gay?) days.So magical that I cried from joy several times. Had a harsh return to reality on the drive home realising that I didn't feel safe getting out of the car at a coffee shop we stopped at in a rural area, so I had someone order my drink for me.Amazing experience overall, and gives me the confidence to keep trying to live an authentic life.
