So what happens when we place trans women and transfeminine people into this framework? We are perceived to be in the role of a "human being" before transition, since we are seen as men. When we transition, we are taking on a role as women that is expected to be that of a "giver." But here's the thing: by asserting our needs, our right to expressing ourselves, and our humanity in transitioning, we are engaging in an action that is fundamentally a contradiction within this system. Expressing oneself, having needs worth receiving care, and taking up space are the prerogative of "human beings" and the act of transition and asserting our femininity or womanhood is just that - we are women asserting ourselves as beings. But we are supposed to be subjugating ourselves into the roles of "human givers," not taking up space or asserting needs. We see this in how originally trans women were only given access to gender-affirming care if they behaved in ways that were submissive, were seen as attractive to straight men, and our orientation solely pointed at straight men. It was unrelated to our own needs or desires, only our ability to be human givers. This continues in how often the few roles we are consistently still allowed to exist is as sex workers and as an object for pornography.
