Transgenderism and feminism are logically incompatible: women cannot be an especially oppressed group with a group identity, akin to proletarians suffering under capitalists, if men at will can enter or women leave the group, merely by changing wigs, ingesting hormones, or suffering self-inflicted genital mutilation.
Please note that Marxist theory says no one wins the rigged game of capitalism. Farmers cannot overcome poverty by hard work and patient discipline. It was for this reason that the Kulaks of Ukraine had to be starved and destroyed by Stalin: namely, the living example of dirt-poor peasants accumulating wealth enough to install indoor plumbing was anathema to the theory. Reality had to submit to theory.
Likewise for Cultural Marxism. Feminism preaches that the game is rigged against women, and so no woman can be successful by her own effort. Only Big Brother can save her, and he must be given absolute, untrammeled, unaccountable power, to do so.
But if any woman can, at will, shave her hair, don trousers, and become a man, or any man in wig and lipstick become woman, there is nothing innate about womanhood granting victim status: it becomes voluntary. In a world where the only moral law is the law of consent, this undermines the whole prospect of feminist utopia.
