I have been a white man who needed assistance and turned to "welfare" to survive.

I as well, it was what opened my eyes in my 20’s that all the bullshit I was fed as a kid was in fact false.

Congratulations on your transition! How do you feel now?

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 7 points 2 days ago

It's nice not needing the help anymore. Transitioning to being not broke wasn't an easy or quick process, and I certainly couldn't have done it all on my own, but it was worth it. I'm still a white guy though I try not to hold that against myself.

Will you hold it against me? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'll have to ask my wife, y'know, out of respect for her.
