Surely that's because he's using trans community to mean trans men and trans women as as a minority group? Right?

Like I said I'm trying to understand here.

I think it could as easilly be read as a dog-whistle statement othering trans women as distinct from "normal/natural" women. Again, even if it wasn't his intent, its awfully lacking in nuance, which is ironic given the events of a couple of days ago

Cheers. This is probably something I'm not going to get.

I assume the same inference isn't as relevant with a statement in relation to black women, as them not being a woman isn't a common accusation.
