No, a trans woman being perceived as a woman wouldn't be privilege because being a woman is not a privilege. Being perceived as a man is a privilege, regardless of what comes along with that. This is basic feminism, men are in control of the patriarchy and women are oppressed by it
“It is a good thing that they saw him as his true gender. Most trans women can’t experience that. That’s literally your friend experiencing male privilege, he is seen as the gender he says he is and that gender is male”
“I didn’t say that experiencing violence was a privilege, I said that being perceived as the gender he is was a privilege”
The main disgusting thing about this is that a Black man is experiencing police violence because of the intersection of his race and gender, and you (I assume you are the same anon) said that him being correctly gendered by the police who want to kill him for being a Black man is a good thing because his gender is being affirmed.
The rest of this is just bog-standard shitty cis-white feminism. Its not intersectional to act like a Black man’s race can be separated from his gender, especially when many Black trans men have talked about experiencing an increase of violence after transitioning. This is not a side-note on Black men’s gender, its an integral fucking part of it. “Men control the patriarchy” is an obviously cissexist way of looking at it when you consider that trans men do not and literally have never been the ones with social power. Fuck off
[Also: “being perceived as a man is a privilege, regardless of what comes along with that” so following this statement, closeted trans women are privileged and there’s absolutely no nuance to anything else oppressive that they experience as a result of their gender because the most important thing is that they are perceived as a cis man in any context?]
like literally society can’t even handle women’s COVERED nipples. i hate bras and generally do just say fuck it but there’s always the fear of people hiving me shit for my nipples poking through my shirt, especially being sexually harassed about it. but with men it’s not an issue! they don’t have to stress so fucking much about their tits! i hate it here i want to throw up and die. bring back tge free the nipple movement right now
house md’s worst and best hate crime is wilson’s “i should have spent my life being more like you. i should’ve been a manipulative, self centred, narcissistic ass who brought misery to everything and everyone in his life” followed by house’s “you’d still have cancer” and then wilson’s “yeah, but at least i’d feel like i deserved it!” house risks his entire life to let wilson do too much chemo. wilson didn’t even ask him to do it. house gives up the last of his vicodin to stop wilson’s pain. he lies to wilson about it. house tells wilson that all they need in life is each other. house promises to let wilson die in his apartment instead of being taken to a hospital. he risks everything because wilson asks him to. then wilson tells house that he deserves cancer. there is no fucking reason for this. it’s the best thing they ever did.
it’s so wild when people complain about religious inclusion like “oh so you think THEY should get special privileges/accommodations to do x, y, or z??”
and the things they’re talking about are like. exceptions to rules or norms that in themselves shouldn’t exist. yes Richard, we actually should have diverse meal options at work events to accommodate people with different diets. yes, people should be allowed to take time off to be with their family during whatever holidays or life events they so choose. yes, people should be able to wear clothing that makes them comfortable. nobody should be happy about these restrictions existing. stop bitching about the singular jewish or muslim person in your workplace and realize that everyone deserves better.
