i was an officer in the british army, largely because of my education level. and my education benefited (and benefits) much from my identity and the perks that come from it. mixed race jewish queer? too many identity-based scholarships to name put in place over the years by influential individuals with similar traits, especially as i earn high marks. and i'm now working on a medical license (paid for by my service and inheritance) not far from a beautiful, major coastal city. i go to school, stay healthy, and do drag by night on select weekends
i have benefited in more ways than you can imagine and you can feel free to go through my post history, i've talked about all this before
and fyi, you don't have to be poor to like mma
