When they say that transwomen are at more risk than women, when they say transwomen live in a state of perpetual victimhood, when they hold women morally responsible for what men do to transwomen - what they mean is that transwomen's experience is more significant.
Examples:
Because for some reason 28 murders of transwomen in 1 year in the US is an epidemic, but 6 femicides A DAY isn't.

I asked @Colmogorman if the threats of rape and murder that women face when debating issues that affect them were as abusive as women not believing transwomen are women. He blocked me.

I guess that means no, threats against women aren't as significant. https://t.co/taLX80T6Jq pic.twitter.com/HfYeyzs1sB

Femicide of innocent brown women in Brazil will never matter as much as the murder of transwomen working there in prostitution because nothing is an epidemic of note unless men are the victims. \U0001f626https://t.co/37UjMb8tTL

Assaulting a woman because you hate women is not a hate crime.

Assaulting a transwoman because you hate transwomen is a hate crime.
Criminality is dependent on the victim, not on the perpetrator. Hating women is not criminal. Hating males who want to be women, is.#cisprivilege

It relied on very little wind energy - that was the plan. It relied on a lot of natural gas - that was the plan. It relied on all of its nuclear energy - that was the plan. 2/x
There was enough natural gas, coal and nuclear capacity installed to survive this event - it was NOT "forced out" by the wind energy expansion. It was there. 3/x
Wind, natural gas, coal and nuclear plants all failed to deliver on their expectations for long periods of time. The biggest gap was in natural gas! The generators were there, but they were not able to deliver. 4/x
It may be fair to ask why there is so much wind energy in ERCOT if we do NOT expect it to deliver during weather events like this, but that is an entirely different question - and one with a lot of great answers!! 5/x

There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.
Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.
Be aware, the images the #farright are sharing in the hopes of starting a race war, are not of the SPAR employee that was punched. They\u2019re older photos of a Everton fan. Be aware of the information you\u2019re sharing and that it may be false. Always #factcheck #GeorgeNkencho pic.twitter.com/4c9w4CMk5h

Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.
There is a concerted effort in far-right Telegram groups to try and incite violence on street by targetting people for racist online abuse following the killing of George Nkencho

This follows on and is part of a misinformation campaign to polarise communities at this time.
The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.
