General Discussion

People of color volunteer to live in segregated, failed-the-building-code neighborhoods because they don't want to put up with the hassle of racist neighbors.

Trans people choose to work for less money in environments where their physical safety is not under daily threat, so it's all fine! No discrimination there because it's voluntary.

No, dude, none of this is voluntary. The choices we make are between "the pay sucks" and "this job could kill me, harm me, or land me in court for the next decade, if I'm lucky." That's not voluntary, because there's no option of "decent pay, fair working environment, no harassment".

People spend a third of their waking hours at work -- being stuck in a place where you're undermined, undervalued, despised and harassed because you're doing your job doesn't just harm those 40 hours a week. It affects every hour. You sound like you want to keep all of the privilege of never having to think about this because it does not affect you personally, and for all of us who aren't exactly like you to shut up and go away, and that is exactly what chauvinism is.

And I'm done. Good day.
