Applying “cis” privilege to females actually is the same as saying there’s female privilege though. Neither exists. And trans guys don’t necessarily have male privilege, they only get that if they are perceived as males. Your last sentence is great though.
no
stop
I was afraid this would happen
being associated with people like you is why people are afraid of talking about misogyny in queer communities — not because we are afraid of being jumped on by the hordes that just can’t deal with your truth-telling, but because we don’t want to be read as in any way supporting you
I absolutely disagree with literally everything you have said here and I’ve made that clear many times. while I’m open to being corrected on things I think or say that may be transphobic, I can’t help but think that you’ve wilfully and radically misread me in the hopes of making me realise my views are really yours, or pulling others who agree with me closer to your position
this was explicitly a post about the perils of gender essentialism, i.e. of assuming that birth assignment is more relevant than current identity
literally 50% of the point of this post was that “cis privilege” is a more flexible and useful framework than the gender-essentialist “FAAB privilege”
the other 50% was about misogyny, and the denial by people like you of the male privilege of trans men is a huge factor in the continuing enabling of misogyny and violence against women in queer communities — & in fact some of the worst misogyny I’ve experienced in queer communities has been from trans dudes looking to shore up their sense of masculinity
it is in large part a post about how transphobia and gender essentialism hamper our ability to recognise misogyny when we see it
you are literally the worst — way worse than the people and discourses I was originally complaining about
you are actively harming women, including cis women, the only women you apparently care about
go away forever
