This is the logical endpoint of privilege theory. I'm probably being more charitable than I should be believing that when the Combahee River collective first came up with the idea, they weren't trying to set up an oppression olympics. They may have genuinely believed the idea that "liberating" the people they perceived of as on the bottom of the stack in society (themselves, black lesbians) would indeed end up "liberating everyone". But the logic of privilege theory that they articulated is that privilege is this static, unchanging part of your being, something the "system" confers on you that is absolute. So what is produced when this idea is taken up by academia? A cultural economy that uses victimhood and oppressions narratives as currency, essentially a world defined by martyr narratives, where pity rules and suffering confers legitimacy. Now, this is great for a certain class of academic that can now claim that, despite them occupying a place of literal privilege and exclusivity, their belonging to X group means that people aren't allowed to push back against them. Great way to get tenure. But it also opens up the door to the current troon clown world, because the troon narrative is literally that anything short of 100% support caused them to suffer. And privilege theory isn't capable of processing it, because the more you "suffer", the more your "liberation" is supposed to accomplish. Troonism is narcs figuring out exactly how to game the system liberal American set up for itself to justify its superiority over others.
