Only if you are completely clueless on what marginalization means, which by the rest of your comment, it appears you are.

- cmh89 4y agoSure, let's start with what marginalized means. ": to relegate (see relegate sense 2) to an unimportant or powerless position within a society or group" https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/marginalize https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/marginalize Trans people, especially trans women are treated poorly. They have less economic opportunity, have a high incidence of being victims of crime, and face violence from society. Being successful in spite of being marginalized doesn't somehow magically make you no longer marginalized. Just like there are successful Black people, but they still experience systemic and social racism. Success doesn't magically change that. I'm guessing you don't believe in systemic racism though, so its probably a non-starter
