Here are some examples of cis privilege:

  1. I can use public restrooms that match my gender without fear of verbal abuse, physical intimidation, or arrest

  2. I 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 my gender expression.

  3. Strangers call me by the name I provide, and don’t ask what my “real name” [birth name] is and then assume that they have a right to call me by that name.

  4. I can reasonably assume that my ability to acquire a job, rent an apartment, or secure a loan will not be denied on the basis of my gender identity/expression.

  5. I have the ability to flirt, engage in courtship, or form a relationship and not fear that my biological status may be cause for rejection or attack, nor will it cause my partner to question their sexual orientation.

  6. If I end up in the emergency room, I do not have to worry that one gender will keep me from receiving appropriate treatment, or that all of my medical issues will be seen as a result of my gender.

  7. My identity is not considered a mental pathology (“gender identity disorder” in the DSM IV) by the psychological and medical establishments.

  8. People don't speculate that my gender identity is a result of abuse or trauma.

  9. I have the ability to not worry about being placed in a sex-segregated detention center, holding facility, jail or prison that is incongruent with my identity.

  10. I can easily find role models and mentors to emulate who share my identity.

  11. Hollywood accurately depicts people of my gender in films and television, and does not solely make my identity the focus of a dramatic storyline, or the punchline for a joke.

  12. I will not be harassed by the police or denied services at a bank or other institution because my legal sex does not match my gender presentation.

  1. Violating the privacy of the opposite sex is not a right.

  2. Because women can perfectly blend in and not be harassed on the street.

  3. Maybe don't lie about your name.

  4. Women can be fired for simply stating biology is real.

  5. As if lesbians aren't attacked for refusing the nice big girl cock.

  6. Trans people have the same access to health care as everyone.

  7. Your own community considers transness a mental illness.

  8. Why else would someone want to cause a hormonal imbalance and chop off healthy body parts.

  9. So are we supposed to accept being assaulted by men-who-identify-as-women?

  10. Given the record numbers of people identifying as trans or NB, of course you can.

  11. See above.

  12. Where do you live where you have the police called on you? I'm black and live in a white neighborhood and never had the police called on me.

  1. Your privacy isn't violated. Restrooms have stalls.

  2. No one is saying women aren't harassed.

  3. Trans people aren't lying about their name. People can change their names.

  4. Women, and men are fired for transphobic comments, not for stating biology is real.

  5. No one is forced to sleep with anyone. If you aren't attracted to trans people, that's OK.

  6. Yes but something called discrimination exists.

  7. No, you consider transgenderism a mental illness.

  8. Taking hormones to appear another sex or removing breasts is not the same as chopping off an arm. Is getting a nose job a mental illness? Cis men live without large breasts so they are not essential, and people have beards so creating a beard is also OK. I am mentally ill myself and do agree there is a stigma around mental health. But wanting to physically transition doesn't necessarily equal a mental health issue.

  9. No one should accept being assaulted by anyone, and violent offenders need more monitoring.

  10. Trans and NB people are still underrepresented in the media.

  11. See above.

  12. Where did I say I have the police called on me?

  1. Well I don't want to pee or shit next to a man. Conversely, men don't want to pee or shit with women around.

  2. Just read your own words "I 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 my gender expression."

  3. They change their names to deceive everyone.

  4. Like are we not allowed to say sex is immutable and men can't become women just because they feeeeeellll like it?

  5. Lesbians are attacked and called transphobic for not wanting wanting to sleep with biological men.

  6. How often does that happen? More often there are misogynist apologists like you.

  7. People on your side disagree with you.

  8. I'm done arguing with you and yes chopping off any healthy body part is a mental illness.

  9. We can prevent assaults by not allowing men-who-identify-as-women in women's spaces.

  10. Bruce Jenner, Ellen Page, Demi Lovato, Roderick Cox, Jazz Jennings, Demi Lovato.

  11. Trans people are well represented in the media.

  12. Like why is this an issue for you?

Women, and men are fired for transphobic comments, not for stating biology is real.

Stating that biology is real (as in there are only two sexes; humans can't change sex; or sex does matter in safegurading, health care, sports, dating, etecetera) is considered "transphobic". Yourself has said that female and male are not biological terms...
