It is really hard not to read this as a conspiracy theory that white trans women are inherently racist on the basis of being trans.
That being a trans woman is part of some spooky global conspiracy, allied with the conservative white men who want to kill them, for the sole purpose of causing harm to Black men.
Which sucks.
I don't want what the other side believes to be effectively just Nazi conspiracy theories.

1. I spent too much time in the late 2000s/early 2010s feminist blogosphere to ever be swayed by the manipulations of white womanhood. Cis or trans it's the same playbook: respond to people pointing out their racism with cries of "you only think I'm a racist because you're a misogynist!!!!!" Meanwhile they're backchanneling to push Black women out of shared spaces and away from resources (although they will love them a sexist cishet Black man who will give them cover for their misogynoir, "see I can't be racist!" actually you can and you both hate Black women but anyways), they'll pay lip service to a bastardized version of intersectionality but they'll weaponize white woman tears in a minute to put a Black woman "in her place" (and let's be clear white women tears have a body count, centuries deep), they'll even let murderous white men into their ~feminist spaces~ if he keeps the ~evil scary violent Black women~ at bay (see: Hugo Schwyzer as just one example but it's emblematic of that era)

2. At the end of the day the construct of gender as defined by whiteness is designed to affirm and defend white supremacy and antiblackness and the majority of white women, cis or trans, embrace that role, see it as integral to their womanhood, even if they'll never admit it out loud. Cis or trans individual white women could make the decision to make divesting from antiblackness, white supremacy, and patriarchy central to their gender identity, but most of them choose not to, but will wail about their oppressions when you point out their complicity.
