What is ‘cis privilege’?

I think that men physically abuse trans women. But women are currently hounding them with verbal abuse.

FloralBunting if we're talking about biology then sure, trans women don't have periods and childbearing to deal with so could be considered privileged.

On the other hand, I consider it to be a huge privilege to have the anatomy to grow another human inside me and I feel sorry for any woman who wishes to have their own kids but can't, including trans women.

On the channel 4 trans programme I saw trans people being shouted down by women. It is a brave trans person who sticks their head above the parapet.

The very epitome of male privilege is going to Eton or joining the Freemasons, neither would accept a trans woman.

Eton ...true, it accepts 13yo boys and has indicated that a transitioner could be allowed to stay if that was the best thing for that individual

The Freemasons allows masons who transition to TW or 'non binary' to remain, I believe (Edward Lord...)

A trans woman is marginalised and victimised by society more than most women are.

Source?

Jezebelz, I don't think you're understanding the concept here. No one expects trans feminine people to be 'meek'. But you're the one saying they don't benefit from male privilege and that when they identify as female they lose the male privilege.

You've been given some concrete examples of how male privilege doesn't just disappear. You seem to think that calling it a 'woman being assertive' means it doesn't exist.

Hmmm I'm not convinced trans women should feel they have to be apologetic and meek on account of being transgender.

I am all for women being bolshy and outspoken and if a trans woman behaves that way then good for her. I would see this as asserting personality rather than male privilege.

A trans woman is marginalised and victimised by society more than most women are.

This is false and insulting to women.

Jezebelz, well, for a start as I understand it, there are trans identifying members of the Freemasons, so I can't agree with that one.

But there is so much more to 'male privilege' than 'privileged males'.

Pips Bunce, who comes comfortably under the trans umbrella, has faced no disadvantage since his 'coming out'. His comfortable executive career, achieved while presenting as exclusively male, has not been ranked by no longer exclusively identifying as male.

And even in the day to day, a male person, walks through the world very differently to a woman. It doesn't just disappear in a puff of gender magic when that man presents as female. You see it all the time in conversations on news programmes. A man will speak over a woman incessantly unless the presenter is very firm, and the recent programmes with male bodied male presenting trans people show that they still do it when identifying that way.

If you are asking society to treat you as a woman in every respect you are voluntarily giving up your male privilege.
Which part of their male privilege has Pippa Bunce given up?
And before you say that Pippa is just a cross-dresser who was wrongly awarded a place on the list of top 100 FEMALE executives, have you considered the possibility that Pippa is not an outlier among what we now call transgender people?

There are more female undergraduates than male undergraduates. But we digress. A trans woman is marginalised and victimised by society more than most women are. There is no privilige in that. You seem to have very little understanding of the tribulations of trans people.

Male privilege is having male biology. Taller. Stronger. Faster. Can't fall pregnant. Socialised to be a leader and decision maker. Used your having our opinion listened to. Expecting your sexual needs being fulfilled even if you pay for it. Not seeing sexism towards women. Not understanding sexism because to you've never experienced it to your own detriment. Being paid more. Being promoted more. Being elected to parliament more.... on and on I could go but I won't right now

The concept of cis privilege is a weapon to further an agenda that sets out to harm women.

Transwomen even actually believe that transmen have privilege over TW (they recognise male privilege they just refuse to own it).

Transwomen still have male privilege.
Most gender ideologists (particularly those who identify as non-binary) they are virtually all white, middle class university undergraduates with immense class privilege. Transwomen still have male biology, male advantage, male entitlement and the same male violence-criminality offending patterns.
Transmen still have female biology female socialisation and female behavioural patterns.
Trans does not subvert the power dynamic at all.

Did everyone here see the Stonewall ad in the Metro in support of trans ideology and backing self-ID? It was like the FT100 power list including GCHQ. Doesn't quite sit with the "most opressed" narrative.

How very very attractive for your beta-male to find a way to use gender ideology to gain advantage, not only can you gain access to all women only spaces by uttering some magic words you can also claim to be more opressed and use it to unleash all your pent up misogyny in a frenzy that is pandered to by the entire political class.

I don’t think you understand what Male privilege is

I agree with Jezebelz. What male privilige do trans women have? Can someone answer?

FloralBunting I think it does. The very epitome of male privilege is going to Eton or joining the Freemasons, neither would accept a trans woman.

Being a woman is crap and we're certainly not privileged when you list all the things we have to cope with.

Funnily enough, I don't see the trans people rushing to embrace any of the sexism and physical difficulties we have to deal with, or the violence and sexual assault.

If they believe that men are so harmless and we're over reacting, let them prove it by using the men's toilets. Only they won't because they know full well they'll get duffed up.

Yeah? Welcome to our world, only we get sexually harassed and assaulted then duffed up if we don't comply.

Jezebelz, that's not how male privilege works. You don't sign up to it and then hand in your membership card and lose all your clubcard points when you tell everyone you are actually a woman despite appearances.

If you are asking society to treat you as a woman in every respect you are voluntarily giving up your male privilege.

And by the very nature of being a trans woman a person is sacrificing their male privilege

Clearly not, as we are so often told, they’re still treated for the most part as males.

the very nature of being a trans woman a person is sacrificing their male privilege.

How do?

And by the very nature of being a trans woman a person is sacrificing their male privilege.

Prawnofthepatriarchy personally I have no problem accepting I have certain privileges over the Hayley Croppers of this world.

If an individual is not gender dysphoric then I can't see how they can play the cis privilege card.
