> class may be a more powerful organizing discourse
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Other things contribute to class, but it remains a class issue.
I'm reminded of this: "If your feminism isn’t intersectional, it isn't feminism.".
We need something similar for those who think the issue is one-dimensional - "the poor".
Because why someone is poor, and what conditions and circumstances result from being poor... poverty (which includes the psychological impact of being poor)... deeply affect the individuals affected, and some of those factors have wider societal causes (racism, homophobia, xenophobia, perceived sex, sexual identity, etc).
I'd say class in the US is solely based on your wealth, whereas int he UK it's based on your heritage/background. There isn't much of an aristocracy in the US.
It's okay to call yourself a feminist if you're not okay with biological males demolishing female sports records. It's okay to not go down the infinite intersectional/deconstructionist rabbithole to the point where it's normative for 8-year-olds to dress in drag and do sexually suggestive stripteases while men throw money. It's okay to retain your common sense.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
