This is some Poe's Law level of Wokeness. Nearly impossible to parody because it is nearly a parody of itself.

you cannot parody woke

anything you invent as extreme satire is molded by the universe into a real woke who actually believes that, and more, within the day

So when the author is showing how the "cis" woman grovels and takes the trans woman out for drinks, she is of course saying that's how everyone should treat her.

Ok, let's do a looksee...

My favorite part of this story is not only that Charlene is working towards making hormones accessible for trans women (a theme that touches me as right now we’re in a shortage of hormones in Spain and being a working class trans woman is, like, expensive ay this moment), but that the introduction of trans themes in the story seems casually dropped, but relatable. Running away from traumatic narratives, Sturges embraces the cliché and subverts it, and makes Charlene convey to Elektra how cis women are unaware of some of these tropes.

Brilliant. Absolutely stunning and brave.

Gods above, this shit is so massively retarded I don't even know HOW to make fun of it.
