Mink StoleCalling all working class queers! 
Queer and, especially, trans people, experience higher rates of poverty and unemployment, due to workplace discrimination and breakdown of family ties, amongst other things, but are those who grew up with more and lost it (downward mobility) the same as those who didn’t have much to begin with?
Are you one of those working class fem/butch dykes Joan Nestle and Leslie Feinberg wrote about (or dream about being a part of that scene)?
Do your BDSM practices include regular household items or toys you made yourself because you don’t have the money to splurge at a sex shop?
Do you not have a place to take sex partners to since all the dark rooms closed down in your town and the gay bar is now a show for straight women on hen dos?
Are you constantly torn over accepting or turning down requests to perform in full drag for a pittance because maybe some money is better than nothing?
Have you or your friends been sued by a mainstream (L)G(BT) charity for denouncing their dodgy practices?
Some of these are oddly specific, I know. You don’t have to relate to any of these. Any submission from working class and poor queers will be considered.
