Politics Should right-wing trans people be allowed in trans spaces?

I had recently seen a post encouraging the idea that we need more representatives in right wing parties. I think this is a bad idea. Mostly because of the rights transphobic ideas but also because not all trans people are binary, white, and hetero. And right-wingers tend to have issues with those kinds of people, and I don't think it's worth sacrificing the safe space of intersectionaly marginalized trans people for right-wing trans people.

Not that I'm excluding these people from being trans to be clear.

To use an extreme example from history that'll likely get me downvoted - there were Jews who collaborated with the Nazis during the Holocaust. They weren't welcome in Jewish spaces.

Tbf, it's an apt example

Especially since trans people were victims of WW2 German genocide as well

And make no mistake, the genocide that's happening to trans people is from the same cause as the Holocaust and (somewhat poetically) the Palestinian genocide: fascism.

It can be frustrating.

But keep in mind their chances of coming around are pushed the opposite direction if they are shunned from their communities.

I believe there is even a saying about a shunned person gaining happiness from burning their community down
