No, immigration wasn’t the issue. The Native Americans didn’t reject the settlers, they welcomed them. They were happy to share the land. I think the same is true of most women.

The issue was the nature of the settlers' immigration. It was the immigration without respect for the people who were born in those lands or for the lands themselves. It was the mentality that said, "this is ours now."

I’m not anti immigration. Or anti transition. I’m anti colonisation. And some very vocal, and apparently quite influential people within the trans community are trying to colonise womanhood. It’s those people I take issue with. Not ordinary trans women just trying to live their lives.

Again, given that these people are clearly harming perceptions of the trans community for those who aren’t fans of nuance, or who are just sickened by the misogyny that pervades trans activism, I’m genuinely surprised more trans women aren’t speaking up.
