You can't just say extremely gay job you met trans friends at and not tell me what job it is.
I work homeless services. Even when I'm not working culturally-specific programs, a lot of my millennial/zoomer coworkers are some sorta queer. It might be a social work thing, it might just be that I'm in a big coastal city with a lot queer people in general.
It's good work and it's fun telling people what you do for a living - like 50% they'll fawn over you and treat you like a saint, 50% they'll just start telling you how much they hate homeless people. Also sometimes it's super traumatic, in pretty much the same ways that EMT work can be.
e: also sometimes people will ask how your day is so you tell them how your day was and you'll think it was a totally normal day with just a few difficult parts but then you look around and whoops, accidentally traumatized everyone again.
Oh! That sounds like very satisfying work. I'm sure it can be traumatic though
What the hell is wrong with this society.
Lotta very visible problems here caused by people having to survive on the streets without proper shelter or sanitation services. People see the mess caused by long-term camps, crime caused by desperation, sidewalks blocked by tents, and people lashing out due to trauma and mental health issues, and come out thinking "fuck those people" instead of "we need a new system that won't force these people into such fucked up circumstances."
