I think DT manages to be both racist and sexist this week.

Everyone has privilege over me because no one looks at me and sees the Goddess I am inside. If you were to look at me properly, it would be a bit like that bit where Galadriel is tempted by the One ring. The struggle of getting through the day without smiting mortals in righteous Divine fury is a real burden.

@AuntyPasta yes, such a privilege, groped in my school uniform on the bus. I ftoze because i thought he'd dropped his keys or his pen but he was about to put his hand in to my knickers. First week in a new secondary school. Horrible, but of course i didnt tell anybody about this "privilege".

They havent a clue how traumatic it is. They think we are lucky.

@Fanthorpe

I wonder how this goes down with Telegraph readers in general?
I’m married to one. He gets almost as angry as I do.

Interesting even 😆

We are privileged to be instantly recognised as belonging to a disadvantaged group....as are most ( all?) transwomen

Just not the same disadvantaged group ?

Eh?

So if this is about "passing", what about women who can pass as men? Are they "privileged" because they have male privilege, or "not privileged" in the same way a non- passing MTF person allegedly is?

Conundrum eh?

It has to be said Diana is doing wonders for AGP awareness.

What a poorly written bunch of self absorbed whinging.

I am not sure what he expected when he started dressing like a woman?

How did he think people would treat him?

He apparently didn't realise all the shit dumped on women and all the harassment and sexist treatment we experience from the get go.

I say welcome to the club dude. Suck it up and deal with it like the rest of us do every day.

This is the person who spent £100 000 on surgeries to transition, hardly someone I would see as lacking in privilege.
