I’m just wondering since some person on Mastodon said it, (almost certainly a troll due to their toxic behavior) and I was wondering what it actually means or if it’s something that is just made up. I tried searching on Google and there weren’t really any meaningful results, just people talking about and complaining about it.

So if anyone has any information on this it would be great if you shared it. Thanks

    I think you’re having trouble because most publications refer to “trans disposability” rather than exclude the concept to transfems. This paper defines it:

    Building on Henry Giroux’s concept of a biopolitics of disposability, I show how these memes present trans people as disposable: excluded from public view and liable for prosecution for existing in public space…

    The biopolitics of disposability works by making marginalized people disappear from public view by regulating their bodies into invisibility. They are, in a word, disposable.
