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

Yeah dw, i didn’t read the post that deeply, I interpreted her message as you did.
Agreed on the intersection though.
