What are you trying to say? I can also cherry-pick one of numerous alt right people storming cities with guns and assault rifles, calling for violence.

The man in that video spent 30 years in prison for kidnap, torture, rape and attempted murder, and is threatening violence to women now he's been released.
He's says he's a woman. Would you find it acceptable for him to use a women's refuge, be incarcerated in a women's prison, undress himself in a women's changing room, and so on, based on his self-declaration of womanhood? If yes, then you'd be indulging in a luxury belief.

The working class jobs are the most unionized ones. The unions also started with actual battles (wikipedia has examples since US history class often does not), from people with traditional values. I think the division is much more harmful that than you think.
Sorry, I am not entirely sure what you are trying to say...
Unions are type of collective fight in form of strikes and bargaining, against exploitation and are the main tool within the class war. Actual battles happened because the ruling class tries to prevent or forbid them. At the end it is a question of profit splitting not a question of pure existence for whom you are. I would go as far as to say one is the example of class war and the other is an example of fight against fascism.

What about the trauma of vulnerable women who have to suffer the effects of this particular luxury belief?
This is incredibly ignorant view which does not understand the trauma someone can endure when not being allowed or experience not only discrimination, but physical abuse and threats for being who he or she feels is. I wonder if people said the same thing when screaming for equal rights or other things related to racism and homophobia. That it is only opportunity to sneer at working-class people as bigoted, stupid and reactionary.
The approach might not always be the best, but at the end people want others to be what they really are, no one is screaming to shot or lynch anyone.
