You should Here are some examples of CIS privilege and what CIS people can do without worrying. 1) Use public restrooms without fear of verbal abuse, physical intimidation, or arrest 2) Use public facilities such as gym locker rooms and store changing rooms without stares, fear, or anxiety. 3) Strangers don't assume they can ask you what your genitals look like and how you have sex. 4) Your validity as a man/woman/human is not based on how much surgery you've had or how well you "pass" as non-transgender. 5) You have the ability to walk through the world and generally blend-in, not being constantly stared or gawked at, whispered about, pointed at, or laughed at because of your gender expression. Pic related, its me.

Nobody is mad that you are CISgender. We are mad that you are unaware of your privilege and how society discriminates against us. I am aware of it.

Forever Angel Posted at 11:21 am on July 18, 2012 Quote: from Anthem at 1:03 pm on July 18, 2012 Dont think for one second that you know what it feels like to be me. You obviously dont understand the concept of privilege. You have had the privilege all your life and thus you can never know what it is like to not have it. There is no need for a discussion because it is not up for discussion in the first place. It is YOU who need to come to terms with your CISgender privilege.   When that happens, we can talk and until then you are just another CIS scum. I never suggested that, dear. But, conversely, you can never know what it feels like to be me. Again, you push the idea that YOU are the victim and everyone that is NOT you are oppressors. Just because I'm not at war with who I am doesn't make me your enemy... you are your own enemy. You embrace your difference and apparently have decided that you only have to denigrate those who don't understand you or are not "like" you. Or... this is simply at total troll topic and you're laughing your ass off at the rest of us.

Harbinger II Posted at 11:07 am on July 18, 2012 I think OP wants all us CIS people to feel bad about the fact we're considered normal in society. Naw.

Typical CIS to think that we are somehow responsible for being discriminated against ourselves. Check your damn privilege. Besides, I was discriminated against long before I became like this. Well, if you ever decide to be serious, I'd love to hear your side. But as long as you want to play "victim", you're simply trolling.    Hard for you to face the truth huh? I guess its easier for you to label me as a troll instead of facing your CIS privilege and coming to terms with it. Obviously you'd rather troll than have a discussion... typical. Nothing is ever your fault, all your troubles are because of someone or something else. You revel in your victimhood... should something happen that you lose that status, you'd be totally lost. I'm so sorry for you. Dont think for one second that you know what it feels like to be me. You obviously dont understand the concept of privilege.
