Like a lot of safety and that means work and support comes from having a person you know. Thats most of what makes upper class upper class, connections.
Having a super small niche by default also makes an exclusive group, its sorta why everyone wants in these days. It makes it easier to know people and to be known in it.
Still ha to do the hard work of being sociable and making connections but you at least have an in to a group that is tight and has known being the minority position, and it’s a starting point.
So yeah might be bumming a room, might be more.
Wish I knew a single trans person irl much less one who is in a hiring position or anything like that. Not like trans people are especially known for their social power or capital.
Yeah, still the other problem with being a less than 1% minority. Still got to meet at least 200 people just statistically before you can stop including yourself.
But I mean they are known for making safe spaces and buying capital to make sure they own it. Philly has a “gayborhood” thay founded of communal land buying to have a safe space, stonewall riots from the clubs that were in New York being targeted cause they were popular and profitable.
Drag clubs took off and there are still communities growing and changing. Its a strong enough identity to exist in the space of nationalities building neighborhoods in cities.
But you can always find still a less strong niche group to participate and work your social standing with locally. You aren’t guaranteed to any group automatically just that is one that has a strong identity and has to have each others back as best as possible.
Like bumming a room off someone bc I’m poor, or some other trans person giving me a job, what are you thinking?
