As an outsider those two don't seem very related to me. Is it because trans people a politicized? And why is it only the trans women that revolutionize politics? And what is the 'politics' of trans people anyway? Exiting? Or is this another way of saying 'everything is politics'?
Its because trans people demand efficient healthcare and that is inherently revolutionary in a western system that seems hell bent on gouging as many people as possible for healthcare; this tends to produce more radical political positions, as well as how trans people get marganlized and tend to become allied with the far-left due to how we're not fucking psychos.
Is bad Healthcare a tenet of capitalism? Seems more like a consequence to me, and regardless if liberals needed a reason to think about it they still had countless before they cared about trans people. I guess trans people allying left counts as trans politics but then how is that any more 'revolutionary' than other minorities and non minorities on the left? Feels op must've meant something else
In the the hellish country known as the US, yes.
