How is transmaxxing being used to perpetuate transphobia?

The problem with the “transmaxxing” theory is that it does not contend with the realities of living as a trans woman in a systemically transphobic and misogynistic world. Trans people are subjected to disproportionately higher rates of violence and experience increased levels of housing insecurity in comparison to their peers. Contrary to these statistical realities, Vintologi writes “trans women will benefit from the increasing female privilege.” This supposed privilege has no factual basis as all women are still the subject of discrimination and violence (sexual and otherwise) on the basis of their sex, while being paid an average of 85 cents on the dollar when compared to their cis male counterparts.

    I'm pretty sure it just replaces itself with what it thinks is the correct Excel expression. That way the use can audit and correct the AI's work (and Microsoft isn't liable for miscalculations). Firing off to co-pilot every evaluation would be insanely irresponsible.

    There's absolutely way more simply apathetic non-voters who saw two candidates promising more austerity and genocide and said "shits fucked yo" and didn't bother. You can call those people stupid but you'd be dumber for thinking that will get them to vote for your candidate.

    If anything the uncommitted campaign was warning about that.

    Oh so we must've secretly just wanted Trump to win because...? Or maybe we just wanted Biden to stop funding a genocide?

    Maybe there's a lesson here for you to learn. Something about "electability". When people say "I won't vote for anyone who sponsors genocide" they aren't bluffing.

    “Everyone must go!” protesters chanted when they reached congress

    Proper journalism would try harder to explain the protestors demands. You really should heed thrm after they ousted one president just a week ago.

    These people want to do genocide, know they are doing a genocide, and feel like they aren't facing any consequences for it. They find it all exhilarating and are eager to see what else they can get away with.
