I am saying nothing that hasnt been said by smarter people, but trans women pose an existential threat to the patriarchy. If a "man" can become a woman, the higher cast low. If actually the genders are so equal in value that a "privileged man" would become an "unprivleged woman" doesn't that imply equality not hierarchy? This is why having trans women as acceptable in society is a complete red line for conservatives, all other queer transgressions can be rationalized and ignored to one degree or another, trans women cannot. Furthermore we must be punished.

I say this all not to place trans women on a pedestal or exert some special virtue of our existence or assert our superiority over other queer identities. On the contrary, there is nothing special about us except the place we hold in the conservative imaginary. It is they that impute us with this status. It us their own anxieties and fears and psycho sexual drives that make trans women into this. They are the ones making us the poster child if their latest genocidal drive! Belive me I wish we weren't accrded such a place of honor, it us fucking exhausting.
