I have a task. As is noted often by others seeking to make it seem somehow bad, it is a self appointed task. I want to see that trans folk are not subjected to suffering to the same degree as they have it now in the general society.

I absolutely understand the empowering concepts that exist in the dynamic of oppression based discourse. I had better – I know what the concept of racism means from a perspective of having it directed at me b the very groups that I am part of.

And yes, by the way, it is all about race in that way, because racism is ingrained to the same extent – but racism is not as strong as sexism.
