What seems privileged to me is the ability to avoid bigotry. Even as a comfortable first-worlder, I can hardly spend a day without encountering transphobia of some sort, and I'd rather share a laugh about it with some comrades than stew on it all by myself. Just look at the trans megathreads which always contain people recounting their negative experiences, and rightly so. The world often is a hostile place; it's not misanthropy to think so and trying to have a space that avoids talk of popular bigotry in the name of worker's solidarity is, in my eyes, the more privileged desire.
