interesting manifesto though rather long. a lot of these points seem very tied to south asian politics and hence it does not look beyond the horizon within which trans rights are still threatened even after marriage legalization. if there is a problem with this focus, it isn't that marriage rights are useless or that they should not be advocated for (indeed there are as you point out important material reasons for which this is something to secure). the problem is that marriage presents a very limited collective existence. you are correct in dismissing intersectionalist subversivists that are not interested in policies that would actually give trans people any real determinate agency, but you should plan further beyond just this
a conclusion which ive come to is that a fundamental issue of all hitherto forms of organizd struggle has been a lack of consciousness concerning the means with which any revolutionary apparatus is capable of reproducing themselves. you can only perform strikes as long as you are able to afford food and rent. moreover without any actual ownership of the means of production, there is ergo no control over ideological apparatuses, hence the framing of any organized struggle will always be designed by bourgeois hegemony
in order to have true leverage over society then, a movement needs genuine ownership of production to the point that in times of crisis the movement is able to largely reproduce itself in isolation from the greater economy. this ownership can not be something that can be gained immediately, as such behaviour will provoke immediate bourgeois retaliation. we must gain power immanently to the bourgeois system, in order to ultimately negate it. this is why i suggest the proper way forward will be a federation of cooperatives. it can be stratified over different administrative levels (the lowest of which is the cooperative itself) and at each stage there are elected representatives. i am also thinking at different levels there can be other parallel forms of political organization for instance guilds in order to better represent different spheres of production in the organization of how resources are moved internally to the federation.
key priorities will be securing supply lines and funds for hrt and surgeries
you do not seem to be coming from a western context so i am not sure to what extent the strategy i am suggesting is very feasible for you. we have plenty of white transhumanist labor aristocrats and others that are relatively well off that can be organized to establish an economic foundation from which to bootstrap things. in places where the majority of trans people are precariats though, i am not sure to what extent this strategy is very feasible
>>6811the issue with your strategy (at least taken universally and applied to the west) is that it will just be used by the ruling class as a pretext for sending us all to asylums. western governments have already been steadily trying to build this narrative that trans people are somehow predisposed to terrorism. im not sure if mtfs, especially prostitutes, are numerous enough to actually pose much of a problem for the state directly. compound on top of this mounting state surveillance, consent manufacturing, etc. you have to think to yourself, what did '68 really gain us? and that involved massive riots all over france. prostitution is also perfectly unnecessary for the reproduction of society and the ruling class likely has little to no issue with throwing us in detention facilities to be v-coded (something they have already taken very concrete strives towards achieving both in policy and practice)
i think many trans precariats and prostitutes could be integrated in the alternative economic model i am mentioning above
of course all of these criticisms are the most apparent in the west where capital is the most matured. you seem to be coming from a south asian perspective. some of the points you bring up like legalization of marriage don't seem to be determinate problems within the west, yet you still see a lot of trans people forced into being precariats
i see that you mention hijra too.. something to note is that before their marginalization by colonial governments they actually did own land and had jobs which weren't just heckling and prostitution. the british colonialists saw their alternate mode of organization as a threat to colonial sovereignty so they had to stamp down on it. there is actually a very refined biopolitical question with regards to the hijra which goes beyond the question of prostitution

This aspect of the Hijra stereotype was related to long-standing associations between peripatetic peoples and criminality in colonial discourse and law.33 Mobile Hijras were especially accused of kidnapping Indian boys in order to forcibly castrate them. The British in India viewed ‘kidnapping’ as a problem of illicit commerce, as well as ‘immoral’ sexuality. Colonial officials further claimed that Hijras prostituted kidnapped boys to Indian men, resulting in their sexual corruption and the further ‘spread’ of ‘sodomy’. In the context of the marginalisation of various kinds of discipleship lineage under colonial Indian law, Hijra discipleship practices were characterised as coercive and criminal.we see here above how the history of the hijra goes beyond just a story of exploitation to serve bourgeois decadence, rather there is a deeper biopolitical reality that has once more reared its ugly head within the west. this is something i discuss the logic of here:
