Also an important lesson for cis White folks (straight men especially): Your threat of withholding support or allyship means less than nothing to anyone historically marginalized. It's literally the baseline assumption we work from. You're not "showing us," you're just confirming our expectations.

When I worked for a museum we were constantly fundraising to cover bus fees so kids could come to our otherwise free education programs on field trips—and nobody ever seemed aware this was a barrier, you had to prove it to them before you could put an ask in front of them a lot of the time

The thing people don't get about poverty is one disaster can wipe out all the money saved for food, rent, medical treatment, etc. One person’s dire medical emergency can wipe out money to treat an issue that’s becoming emergent, then that gets emergent…
It’s a vicious cycle of never having money.

Also keenly remembering last time this happened. 2 months ago, for about 3 hours: we were ok enough to seek dental treatment & maybe look at a car.
... then a family emergency wiped us out & we've been struggling to even eat since.

![Hello!
I am writing to you concerning the recent policy changes regarding transactions that involve (completely legal) sexually explicit material.
As someone selling artistic work through various platforms, I rely on customers being able to freely choose how to pay for the work I offer. Part of that is payment processors being both transparent with their guidelines AND as hands-off as possible when it comes to what people actually pay for. I believe that, as long as everything in the process is legal for all parties involved, a payment processor should not arbitrarily restrict what kind of goods and services can be purchased by their customers. This both causes confusion and hampers business operations in a variety of industries around the world.
In the interest of allowing businesses who fully adhere to the law to operate smoothly, and to ensure a good customer experience, I urge you to reverse these policy changes, and in the future refrain from trying to restrict perfectly legal industries and businesses in this manner.
Mastercard has a long-standing reputation for reliable service; being this disruptive in the face of a tiny minority with an entirely unreasonable bone to pick simply cannot be in the company's best interest.

You don’t have to like, approve of, or engage with porn and nsfw work to see how right wing extremists are using fear and stigma around smut to ban queer people from public life, define “good” sex as only between married people for procreation, and otherwise further force white supremacy on everyone
