Being a trans woman is an intersection of maleness, not femaleness. The obligation to incorporate trans women's issues into human rights advocacy rests with other MALES, not feminists.
And I personally would love it if men were to collectively organize around the issue of male violence (which is largely enacted against other men) and take responsibility for ending their own violence against gender non-conforming male people.
The sexism that entitles men to outsource their problems with other men to feminists and women in general is the same sexism upon which the homophobia that compels them to violence against trans women rests. So trans women and other GNC men should be invested in womens liberation
And women's liberation cannot be achieved if we don't have a movement specifically and exclusively centering women. The fact that transwomen and GNC men have an investment in feminism is the reason they should STAY OUT OF IT, not a reason to co-opt it.
What lies at the root of male violence against GNC males is homophobia and homophobia is predicated on the oppressive sex roles and stereotypes that emerge from sexism.
If you want an end to that homophobic violence then you ought to be supporting the feminist struggle against sexism, not perpetuating it by outsourcing your problems with other men to women and effectively sabotaging the gains we've made.
