I think I tend to understand it like. Even if the language of transfeminism didn't exist, even if the idea of being a trans woman didn't exist, transmisogyny would still exist, and the positionality would still exist. Our plight would continue, and the group-that-might-be-transfem would be affected by the same structural forces, and the transmisogynist would continue to directly benefit from their transmisogyny.
Then, the goal of the transmisogynist is not to remove the transfeminized class from existence but to return to that idyllic time when we did not know of our own existence. To the transmisogynist, the correct position for a trans woman is entirely isolated, entirely unable to communicate her plight, and simultaneously easy to victimize, sexualize, and abuse. This is directly and materially beneficial to the transmisogynist.
And, there are a few strategies they employ to achieve this. But in particular, I want to highlight the destruction of the means by which we transfeminized communicate our understanding of our plight. In particular, the destruction of the language of transfeminism, up to and including words like transfem, trans woman, and transmisogyny. This language must be humorous, must be vague, must be abstract, and must be understood as useless and harmful and incorrect. It will be decayed and destroyed. Carved away until nothing is left. Until we all agree that it was bad to try. And once all our language is destroyed, we will go back to quietly not existing except to be objects for our oppressors, of course.
Anyway. That's my understanding, at least. I think there's more to learn and understand, but it's a work in progress.
