My privileges

Are mostly those of any white, upper-middle class person: I got a good education, and I have money that was capitalised from a house sale.

It's not all that much. It was $150,000, then I put $30,000 in my Kiwisaver. I went through around $70,000 from 2020-2024. But I've also got $48,000 of student debt. The trust is invested with some company, and that's finally turning around after a poor year in 2023. - It's enough to be truly uncompromising, though. Like, I can say no to ideas because I've still got enough money to pay my rent and by my food, drugs and booze. Plus I can survive while being unemployed, which allows me to pursue this quest to legitimise gender-diverse identities in the workplace. I'm looking forward to being on the Student Allowance this year while taking a course that is free and won't increase my student debt.
