@eris @astronema the thing is that it's absolutely true to a certain extent that there is a "white tranny" problem, but it also obfuscates the problem of whiteness and how it functions in a real material sense to act like white transfems have a significant degree of privilege. the entire origins of the concept of whiteness (a fake racial category) was in having to trick European proletarians into thinking that their status of being included into a racial category made their situation notably better than that of people who aren't in it -- but really, what it in practice meant is not any positive benefits so much as negative ones (being *less likely* to experience direct state/police violence).

this situation is why you have the opioid crisis in the US, because the white middle class in the US has started to disappear and there's increasingly little obvious benefit to being "white". but these people have been given a sense of entitlement for it, so they self-destruct either individually or on a collective scale -- 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙛𝙖𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢. it's always a loss of the things white people are supposedly entitled to that leads to this.

now tell me this, is there any demographic of white people who benefits less from whiteness than transfems? the only thing I can think of is that I'm less likely to experience police violence for being white if I'm in a blue state, and even that isn't always the case. did you know that in New York City if you're visibly transfem and have condoms on your person you can get arrested and charged with solicitation? and if you ever get put in jail while transfem, you will be subject to the most inhumane conditions pretty much anyone in western society can experience. they literally keep transfems in prison cells reserved for "good inmates" to rape them.

the "white tranny" problem, again, is a problem, but it's a problem because of mentally ill lumpen transfems who fall for the same reactionary bullshit as other white lumpens. and it's a problem specifically because it excludes TWoC, who are to be clear more likely to deal with the worst forms of transmisogyny than the rest of us. but this isn't a fucking problem for TMEs to solve. it certainly isn't their place to continue to perpetuate this bullshit narrative about the privileged white tranny that 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙏𝙒𝙤𝘾 and functions in that sense as another perverse intersection of both transmisogyny and white supremacy.
