For [well, against] so-called “communist” settler organisations that consistently fail to recognise us, beyond a mere paper recognition, and beyond their vulgar hope we will do all the menial work for them without credit.
The trans women in the United States have faced a constant genocide and a transfemicide state of emergency. For trans men, they have also faced a genocidal state. For trans women, this has been exacerbated into both a transfemicide and a trans genocide simultaneously. What is transmisogyny if not the double exacerbation of oppression beyond simple transphobia? What is transmisogynoir if not this but trifold? What is SWERF transmisogynoir if not this but fourfold? Our society has placed the Black trans woman, especially the Black trans woman sex worker, at the centre of oppression; transmisogynoir is the fulcrum. The main manifestation of both trans genocide and the transfemicide has been the targeted racist murders of Black trans bodies.
TRANSMISOGYNOIR IS THE FULCRUM PRECISELY BECAUSE BLACK TRANS WOMEN ARE AT THE CENTRE OF MYRIAD, MULTI LAYERED OPPRESSION. THERE IS NO JUSTICE BECAUSE BLACK TRANS PEOPLE HAVE TO LIVE IN CONSTANT FEAR. THIS MEANS GENDERICIDE, TRANS GENOCIDE, TRANSFEMICIDE ARE EXPLICITLY RACIAL AND EMBODIED BY THE DESTRUCTION AND THE BRUTALITY OF THE BLACK BODY BY THE RACIST POLICE STATE SETTLER PROJECT.
Enough of the vague unity statements our so-called revolutionary organisations endlessly insist on — it is a question of life or death, much like socialism or extinction. In our cases, however, it is a question of death before detransition. We refuse to sacrifice our bodies and our minds to a transfemicide machine that seeks to eradicate and ethnically cleanse all of it, that seeks eugenics on us, that seeks xenophobic terror and colonisation against us.
We do not want simple unity, we want POLITICAL POWER and we want LIBERATION. We believe in the gay power. A proletarian revolution that does not guarantee trans and gay political power is COUNTER-REVOLUTIONARY.
THIS IS A TRANSFEMINIST PROGRAMME. THE SURVIVABILITY OF TRANS WOMEN IS ESSENTIAL AND MANDATORY TO PROLETARIAN REVOLUTION. THERE CAN BE NO TRANSFEMINISM WITHOUT THE UNDERSTANDING OF TRANSMISOGYNOIR AS THE FULCRUM OF THE WHITE SETTLER COLONIALIST IMPERIALIST-GENDER ORDER.*
STRIKE OUT any vague clause about “unity of the workers” that fails to address meaningful and tangible contradictions between trans and cisgender people that, in the current captialist-colonialist cisheteropatriarchal context, is an antagonism, regardless of whether or not that is interpreted as “ultra leftist”
CPUSA 2025 programme: We must unite lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and straight people; professionals and intellectuals; seniors; the disabled; and the mass people’s movements. These include the peace, environmental, health care, education, housing, civil rights and civil liberties, and other movements. [ https://cpusa.org/party_info/cpusa-party-program/ , in the “Our Party’s History” section]
CRITIQUE: We cannot JUST unite trans people and especially trans women with cisgendered society, and cisgendered people. THE MATERIAL HARM THAT CISGENDERED PEOPLE HAVE CAUSED US must be addressed first AS WELL AS THE MATERIAL HARM CAUSES BY THE DOUBLE LAYER OF TRANSMISOGYNY/TRANSMISOGYNOIR. Trans-misogyny exempt people in our own communities have discriminated against us and trivalised our double or manifold oppression, super-exploitation and colonisation.
THE REVOLUTION WILL BE LEAD BY TRANS PEOPLE. THERE CAN BE NO REVOLUTION WITHOUT KEEPING TRANS WOMEN ALIVE. TRANS WOMEN HAVE BECOME A REVOLUTIONARY FORCE IN AND AGAINST CAPITALIST SOCIETY. TRANS WOMEN HAVE BECOME A CLASS IN OF ITSELF AND FOR ITSELF, AGAINST CISHETEROPATRIARCHY.
OUR TRANSITIONAL PROGRAM, or the MINIMUM PROGRAM, is therefore rather simple. We believe we are owed our due. We believe this is the barest minimum of concessions there can presently be.
