It feels like there's some kind of weird naïveté to these takes. "Trans*" as a category is arguably hegemonic, but it doesn't erase the common grounds of transfeminization between us and third-gendered people. That commonality doesn't appear to feature in this worldview at all...

...as if I the queer theorist' world there's no wlw/mlm solidarity, no dysphoric or GNC solidarity, *just* "gender creativity" that exists for anthropologists to analyse. (when I agree that trans* is hegemonic, I mean its specific understanding of queerness, obvi our genders per se are subordinate)
