At last! All the reasons 'c*s' women are privileged

Definitely a list of male privilege...

The misgendering one - I was misgendered a while back. I wasn't angry at all. Just very surprised. And then I considered what I'd been wearing, posture, etc and wondered if this might make me a little safer in dark streets. I can never understand the choice to put yourself in danger by attempting to look female when you're not.

It was obviously by someone who is promoting the trans cause

Many of us started there with the best of intentions.

It takes time to get your head around just how very misled we've all been.

"My potential lovers expect my genitals to look roughly similar to the way they do, "

Do you think someone once said to this person 'Gosh, it looks just like a willy, only a lot smaller"?

When I first joined Mumsnet over a decade ago I came into FWR wanting on about c!s privilege.

I got my arse kicked.

Yes, cake, I was shouting the same thing when I read that. A useful piece otherwise though.

This type of c!s women privilege:

Ffs The Guardian, not gender, SEX!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dripping in irony. Obviously have no idea what it is like to be a woman.

The bit that made me laugh hardest thiugh was exepcting easy access to healthcare and medical treatment. Clearly this was not written by anyone in the UK!

”I feel safe” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You were, YetAnotherSpartacus, you absolutely were.

Do pardon me. I thought I was reading a list describing male privilege.

I think it's saying that whatever my genitals look like, you should have expected that and be ok with it.

So I present as a woman and call myself a woman and want to sleep with lesbians a cause I too am a lesbian. I have a lovely female cock. You'll express no surprise and you'll love it.

Or feel my wrath.

Just one more insufferable prick

I would be genuinely astonished that this individual felt their monstrous all-too-visible dustcart of nonsense bore any relation to Peggy McIntosh’s White Privilege: Unpacking The Invisible Knapsack had that list not demonstrated a superabundance of author!ego 😵‍💫

Yet again, we see a clamour for privileges, not rights; no notion of the idea that rights are balanced by responsibilities, simply brattish “want! gimme! mine!”; and certainly no concept at all that they’ve almost entirely written a list about [white] male privilege well, they do say to write what you know…

"I expect be referred to respectfully without stating my preferences, or even being asked, no matter where I go, how I dress, or whom I’m talking to. If this does not happen, whatever level of anger I express will be acceptable, and I will expect the offense to be immediately corrected."

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Yes. I don't give a damn what mindless little dick wrote that ridiculous list. The name I want to remember is Mahsa Amini. Murdered because of her sex. Like so many other women around the world. Where was their 'cis privilege'?

Mahsa Amini. Murdered because of her sex, not her gender. Murdered because she was a women, not because of anything she 'identified' as. Murdered because she was female.

😂

@Cattenberg, these quotes are what a privileged "cis" person is supposed to be able to say. So for a transgender person it'd be "My potential lovers do not expect my genitals to look roughly similar to the way they do, and have not accepted that before coming to bed with me". That does sound like it's talking about surprising someone.

He is saying that this is something that everybody else takes for granted, but trans people don't or can't, or it's an assumption made about trans people and their genitals, and that he wants what we take for granted because if we take it for granted then it's a right so he wants that right as well.

Or something.

Anyway, it's more gubbins because of the pressure on women to shave their genitals and the disgust often expressed at women who don't. Besides, there is such variety in normal genitals that anybody might get a surprise when the pants come off. Hmmm, he may have a point, though, that a lesbian should be able to expect to see female genitals under her lover's pants.

This guy's a comedian right? Although to be honest he lost me at all the medical stuff.

This sounds like narcissistic rage. But in any case, the implicit social contract in most societies does not allow individuals to decide for themselves what level of an angry response to someone is deemed appropriate. That is a rule which is ideally supposed to be the same for every adult though it's applied differently for men and women in quite a few places.

Still, nowhere is it up to the individual alone to decide.

“I expect be referred to respectfully without stating my preferences, or even being asked, no matter where I go, how I dress, or whom I’m talking to. If this does not happen, whatever level of anger I express will be acceptable”

Think this is beyond bratty.

Creepy as fuck.

Abusive, look what you made me do vibes.

And this person well knows “cis” people aren’t allowed to express limitless anger.

“I was trained into whatever gender was appropriate for me”

omfg. These people are like my grandma, who liked to see me in dresses. Nothing about the idea of gender is appropriate.

“I expect…” times how many.

women are socialized not to have expectations.

“I expect access to, and fair treatment within, sex segregated facilities“ - not any more I don’t, no. 😡

Menstruation is a privilege I'd happily do without.
