The first half of the quote makes sense to me, but the second half seems like a stretch

The second half rings particularly true to me. Cishet patriarchal hegemony feels so threatened by my mere existence as a trans woman that they vehemently have to deny my realness. And i'm sure that as a black lesbian communist in the civil rights era, Audre Lorde felt this much more strongly, as the system did not only try to socially murder her, but actively assassinated black activists, actively worked towards the full suppression of communism, actively worked towards exterminating queer people. When the state wants you dead, survival is a form of resistance.
