it's trans men, not "transmen"; and trans women, not "transwomen". Trans is an adjective, meaning it's a word that describes a noun. A trans man is a man who happens to be trans. The (grammatically incorrect) usage of trans as a noun ("a trans", "transman", "transwoman", "transperson", etc.) is a dogwhistle meant to imply that trans men aren't men and trans women aren't women but some separate category

That's a fair point. America has always been this way since its inception

No, that's not what they're saying. They're saying that America is not a nation at all. The material basis of American "nationhood" is liberal capitalism and settler colonialism. American language, culture, and national identity did not develop organically but instead was invented to legitimise the project. The solution to these people would be to abolish America entirely
