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:

@jolyonmaugham says "I would guess". He guesses wrong but that's not the point. The point is that the "trans" part makes it more significant and important for him. Femicides are just femicides - an every day occurance. Just women.
@TheElliotPage says "the statistics are staggering". They are.
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 one of the "transwomen suffer more than 'cis' women" people why things became more significant when it was males who were killed. He blocked me.

It's not a competition, of course (unless you are Jolyon Maugham and want to override female consent, then it really is a competition that you cheat to win) but the argument is the force behind transactivism. Without the perpetual victimhood, it's just men making demands of women
Because it's women who are being held responsible. Man kills transwomen = evidence that women who don't believe TW are women are evil, apparently. It's not the killer who has blood on HIS hands, it's us for not redefining ourselves.

As long as the victimhood narrative persists, celebrities, public figures and polititians will be villified for ever questioning the trans activist narrative.Accepting trans people isn't enough, you must believe that they are more significant and important

They're not protecting trans health or trans housing, they are protecting an ideology that places the needs and demands of males before that of females AND makes women responsible for male violence.

But as any woman knows, being validated as a woman, having people know you're a woman... NONE of this keeps you safe. Being a woman is a world with 90 000 femicides a year gives does not give you the power to magically stop male violence, however much the people above blame us.

It is simply not correct to point fingers at wind & solar energy as we try to understand the situation in TX. The system (almost) had a plan for weather (almost) like this. 1/x


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

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho


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.


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.


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.
