I am not referring to or defending rich celebrities. Woke is more than trans rights, yet it stagnates on this topic. Affluent, mostly white people evade systemic racism and classism discussions yet vehemently advocate for trans rights, which deserves attention but dominates the discourse.

Millions can't access healthcare, higher education, housing, food, and other basic needs, yet the media, the public, and politicians concentrate on Wokeism. People who can't afford to feed their families aren't interested in woke issues and perceive them as inferior, which hinders trans rights and ignites discontent.

Privileged classes scrutinize the underprivileged for addressing and prioritizing essentials, but we won't progress until everyone's (or at least a majority's) basic needs are met. Unfortunately, socioeconomic failures aren't a solicited discussion, and cultural conflicts aren't winnable, but they distract us from addressing inequality's foundation, which relieves our government from governing.

Lastly, self-censorship exists and generates discord, which damages community cohesion. This doesn't imply we should tolerate or welcome bigots, but we disregard context and dissimilar perspectives, shaming people into conforming to cultural ideologies, adopting pronouns, and using approved vocab.

For example, an older man said hello to me and asked if it was okay to say hi because he was worried a stranger's greeting would offend me. Universities no longer elicit diverse theories or perspectives because educators must align with the dominant expert opinion. Employees who don't announce pronouns endure alienation and ridicule, and journalists avoid covering controversial issues to maintain employment.

Transmen are men who want society to recognize and respect their gender. They did not advocate for a pregnant man emoji or for companies to exploit them to increase profit. However, trans' values vary, and it's not my place to speak on their behalf. My statement derives from trans' remarks.
