I also find the whole genitalia argument ridiculous because you can't necessarily tell who is trans just by looking at them. It's totally possible to be a very passable trans person, who nobody would be able to tell was born the gender they were born as, who still has their genitals. You've probably walked past so many transwomen who still have penii in your life and have been none-the-wiser. I think attitudes like this in particular discriminate against trans people who are early on in their transition or are struggling to pass.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
