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

Years ago a transwoman frequented this section.

My infertility was less tragic than theirs because 'at least you have a womb'.

They'd fathered a child

"I expect that there exists formal training about medical conditions affecting me.
I expect that medical therapies offered to me have been the subject of rigorous medical studies & approval processes.
I expect that medical studies are being done to improve & approve treatments available for people with my conditions."

This person needs to read Caroline Criado-Perez's book. Women die quite a lot because of the medical assumption about the male body as the default human.

It's just such an ignorant entitled list.

Is this not saying they expect their lovers to resemble the person’s genitals?

PMSL 🤣

Also laughing at the idea that I feel I can go to any country with my current "gender expression". I'd be arrested in several and harassed in others.

Or beaten to death by the 'morality police'. I am so angry that a young woman can suffer this for not wearing a piece of cloth over her hair. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-62930425

Absolutely.

Menstruation is listed as a privilege!!

I’ve heard of dogs starting to look like their owners but this is next level 😵‍💫

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

Is this not saying they expect their lovers to resemble the person’s genitals?

The idea of 'cis' privilege does begin to look a little ridiculous if you are a woman in places such as Afghanistan. But that's partly the genius of the gender identity ideology: To erase sex-based oppression and to hide that erasure by changing language and by treating all 'cis' people as if they were equally privileged with each other. In other words, all traditional forms of exploitation and oppression are erased in that treatment, except when they are used for forced teaming to enhance trans objectives.

Laughing at the idea that "cis" women have complete access to healthcare. Dodds anyone? Try being treated for a miscarriage in Texas.

it is all so tediously self-righteous and entitled.

Mind you, my professor friend told me yesterday his first year (in US) student came up to him after a lecture and said "can you please give me that lecture again as I didn't understand it". He genuinely seemed to think the professor would immediately sit down for another hour with just him and explain it all one-on-one.

Presumably it’s “cis woman privilege” not to get turned on when your skirt goes spinny 🙄

I had to stop reading after that bit. I got completely creeped out.

"I expect that my access to medical treatment that I need and can afford will not be affected by:
1 My sex life
1 How much, how often, and with how many people I enjoy sex
2 Whether or not I am sexually stimulated by a mode of dress"

Tacit acknowledgment in number 2 as to what this is about for this person, there.

Yes I completely agree. I've also said before that I don't drive or have a car. Do other people have "car-having privilege" or do I have "non-driving privilege".

You can make a sarcastic privilege list about any group, actually, once we separate 'privilege' from its old historical meaning. For instance, as I am not terribly rich I never need to worry about hiring housekeepers for my multiple residences or about yacht insurance or about employing bodyguards for my children (to ward off kidnappers).

If I was someone in prison I would have the privilege of never worrying where my meals come from and I wouldn't have to fear dying in traffic etc.

The initial idea with the privilege concept was good, i..e., using introspection to understand that we, personally, may not have experiences about certain kinds of discrimination and that this does not mean it's not happening. But the way it is used now is simply to divide people into separate groups for whether they can speak about something or not and also to divide people so that they won't unite behind a cause they would all share.

And as Caroline Criado Perez keeps showing us, women are certainly not treated equally with men in medical research or medical care because so many treatment guidelines are still based on measures derived form men's bodies.

Haha all these "privilege lists" are like that, hence the lecture about not quibbling with them at the start.

This made my day. I’ve had a rotten cold and felt quite sorry for myself until I read this ( even though laughing mad me cough).

I’d like the menopause to be a compulsory module in GP training, since 51% of the population go through it (and a significant proportion of the other 49% will be affected by those going through it), but I guess my “cis woman privilege” hasn’t got that far yet.

Twonk.

This sounds very like someone I heard on a bus recently. The person appeared to be male and had a masculine voice. He was engaged in a very loud conversation with a poor call-centre worker about how unacceptable it was that he had been called "sir" when he preferred "madam" but hadn't updated his account yet. Madness.

Treatments which permanently or semi-permanently change my body are available to me immediately, based on my informed consent, ability to pay, and, if applicable, medical need.

If I am accessing medical treatment, my informed consent is verified in, at most, a one-hour consult made before the beginning of treatment.

😶

Having spent my working life calling out ‘blonde moment’ comments, I fell at the first hurdle with this list 😂 ‘I expect laws banning the creation of a hostile work environment will ban the use of offensive language about me.’

Well, that would be preferable to a surprise, surely?

They appear to have missed the point that there is plenty of research to show that HALF the worlds population, due to being biologically female are often expected to be medically treated based on research into the effects of drugs etc.. ON MEN.
Many biological womens health issues have not had as much study done about them because medical science focuses primarily on men, with a few bits that they just can't avoid (like childbirth) being looked at in order to make sure the next generation of men are born.

Women are not medically 'privileged' at all.

Nobody should be expected to accept genital mutilation to be normal.
It's one of the reasons we fight against FGM.

There is so much bullshit in that list you could fertilise the whole of Kew Gardens & have enough left over for the Eden Project too.

"My potential lovers expect my genitals to look roughly similar to the way they do, and have accepted that before coming to bed with me."
