“There’s no shame in having to do it. Women of color, trans folks, queer folks — these institutions aren’t built to love us and support us. These institutions don’t care about our well-being,”

Does anyone else think that stereotyping is getting out of hand?

There are so so many reasons you might need or not need money outside of your race or sexual orientation and vic-versa. Maybe you have cancer. Maybe your house burned down. etc. Assuming that a person of a certain identity group needs financial support seems like a ridiculous assumption.

The amount of focus we put on identity groups these today seems unhealthy.

I understand their point, but it’s just not even close to the first we should bring up when encouraging people to ask for help.
