I'm dumb, can someone explain what's with the cakes?
Capitalism.
The person is complaining about transgender people existing, while ignoring that someone has a cake that is several orders of magnitude bigger than theirs.
I think it is about patriarchy, rather than capitalism - the man has the most, the woman has significantly less, and trans woman has the least.
This represents the respective privileges and power each group has in a patriarchal and transphobic society.
Under capitalism the power differences are between the owning class and the working class, which isn't really highlighted in the comic.
Yeah, I thought it was about capitalism as well, probably because of how the English language likes to use cake as a metaphor for money, until I noticed the colors of the cakes and the gender presentations of the characters.
