i think it's just that the poster is a trans women and wanted to raise awareness through a meme about a struggle related to her identity

though i think it's also worth noting that trans women are being disproportionately targeted due to the unique intersections of oppression faced. (see that one english/british court ruling last year or so that declared trans women as not women, without saying anything about trans men; v-coding; the disproportionate attacks on transgender women of color; the disproportionate attacks on transgender sex workers, most of whom are women, vs cis sex workers)

though i don't see any reason why she couldn't have just said trans people. i doubt she thought about it that deeply really

it's a meme, why are you trying so hard to deflect the attention away from trans women?

why dismiss the unique struggles of trans women in favor of unspecified victims of prejudice, without even considering the root of the problem of systemic transphobia, before proposing a solution that has nothing to do with transphobia?

why act like this image has influence on who "the nazis know [...] to target"? why even mention that?

why mention being called a nazi when nobody ITT has called you a nazi?

trans women are being specifically mentioned because it is harder for trans women to find a job, or even get support from family (and therefore cover basic necessities) due to prejudice and systemic discrimination against trans women

this comment kinda feels like responding "all lives matter" to someone saying black lives matter

All these “socialists” since Colins have this much in common that they leave wage labour and therefore capitalist production in existence and try to bamboozle themselves or the world into believing that if ground rent were transformed into a state tax all the evils of capitalist production would disappear of themselves. The whole thing is therefore simply an attempt, decked out with socialism, to save capitalist domination and indeed to establish it afresh on an even wider basis than its present one.
