cis acquaintances who know I'm trans: "it's so unfair that you can't find a job because you're a woman"

I mean that's why we have government to regulate industry and provide for our basic needs right? I am 100% in favor of building a bigger welfare state. The problem with our system really arises when democracy fails due to power imbalances and we end up with regulatory capture and stuff like that.

I've read Marx and some other entry level leftist literature and I'm trying to start teaching myself economics, world history and geopolitics so I can actually understand our current systems. I try to be as educated as I can on the subject. It's just the more I learn about how the world works the less sure of what the "right" answer is to fix anything so I'm kinda loosey goosey on ideology atm. Like I said I just want to help people.
