But haven't you seen Zizek's scary non-binary soldier with a "die cis scum" tattoo!? 😱

Though ironically in this video Zizek raises this part of the Communist Manifesto:

The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionizing the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society. Conservation of the old modes of production in unaltered forms, was, on the contrary, the first condition of existence for all earlier industrial classes. Constant revolutionizing of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation, distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away; all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life and his relations with his kind.

Based on this sentence he argues being transgender is not revolutionary but actually the ultimate form of capitalist culture whereby social categories, even the "solid, stable" gender categories, are rendered into something fluid and presumably gender also "melts into air".

He then argues that because Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Tim Cook "fanatically support transgender toilets" (??), the capitalist class is friendly with the trans rights movements, and so the trans rights movement is not only not revolutionary, it is "typical of late capitalist subjectivity with this infinite plasticity and so on and so on".
