What is ‘cis privilege’?

I’ve seen quite a few of the posters wo come on to make the pro-self id argument rage about ‘cis privilege’

Could one of them actually explain what it is? Because I struggle to see how women, who are oppressed by their sex and forced into gender norms, abused, paid less, over looked for promotions, given shoddy maternity care, suffer post natal depression in silence, suffer miscarriages, fight through the shame and difficulty on infertility, endometriosis, breast cancer, rape, sexual assault, menopause, hysterectomy, groping, belittling etc are privileged.

If someone who believes in ‘cis privilege’ can point out to me what privileged women have then I’d really, really like to know.

Or is it just another way to shame women into not talking about the tragic and terrifying things that happen to them because of the way their bodies function?

...just as male privilege doesn't exist for men, white privilege doesn't exist for white people...

I thought you'd decided your examples were nonsense.

So why not give us some examples of c-s privilege that might work this time?

We could do the one about children being harmed by unethical doctors after they have been groomed online by older people who have piss poor understand of safeguarding frameworks.

What about the one where lobby group guidance in schools removes safeguarding from the very children they purport to represent?

Or the one about the attitude to sexual assault and rape survivors and how they need to be 'reeducated'.

The adult baby, Aimee Challenor, is 21. Jess Bradley, the flasher, is older but not much. She's the NUS LGBT officer, currently suspended for obvious reasons.

Move on. Give better arguments.

Nope. I don't need to. What I say is logical and checkable. You can "la la la" with your fingers in your ears and flail all you like. Why should I care? Convincing someone whose arguments are as flimsy as yours is not a great priority of mine.

Langcleg what safeguarding guidance are you talking about?
