That should have read "everyone with a Y chromosome." I'll edit to fix. The book is called The Men, author Sandra Newman. And yeah, everyone with a Y chromosome (including trans women) is taken to hell by demons. And then the world is paradise, except for things the author apparently didn't see as bad, like the sexual assault of trans men.

Full disclosure: I haven't read it, but I have read the long critique of it by Ana Mardoll (the person getting piled on for working for Lockheed Martin), which included plentiful quotes. And it seemed incredibly awful on many levels, both politically and artistically.

Too many people like to fling around Holocaust allusions in the confidence that they would have been sent up in smoke for being moral, virtuous, unproblematic people

Yep. It sure must be nice for them to be so unproblematic. I wish I could manage it.
