Reading from the golden book under bright red stars

Incredible that the author simultaneously wants the deconstruction of women's social roles but is also a TERF. Sorry! Treating people as if they are not different on the basis of sex is going to... require treating people as if they are not different on the basis of sex! To be clear, I think this a good and desirable thing but it is equally clear to me that it is trans people and their allies that are doing the most to bring this world about. Directly challenging the association between biology and certain forms of social relation. "Leftists don't want to emancipate women because they don't see the necessary connection between biology and womanhood!" The piece is full of contradictions like this.
I agree that this is currently true, but it seems far from clear this is inevitably true. In different times and places people with the same characteristics you describe have been treated very differently. It does not seem likely to me that we happen to have stumbled on the way such people will be treated forever more in our present time or place.
