Totally agree! Yesterday I saw some idiot on Twitter saying cis-women are privileged and therefore cannot understand transwomen's trauma. Excuse me?! I've been through domestic abuse and multiple sexual assaults. I have been driven to the brink of suicide by my abusive ex-partner who took intimate photos of me and distributed them online without my consent. I have been dismissed, unnecessarily medicated and gaslit by the medical system which caused my autism to go undiagnosed until I was in my late 20s (and even then, the cost of getting the diagnosis was expensive financially). I have suffered "women's diseases" for which there is no cure because the research simply hasn't been done. I have suffered the severe side effects of birth control, which included 6 years of chronic pain, because I wasn't given the information I need to make decisions about my own body. "Cis privilege" is an insult.

cis-women are privileged

It is very common topic among young transwomen nowadays, and seems it is came from 4chan and similar places. For some reason so-called otaku and b-tards are thinking that women have much easier experience and way to live than men, that everything is easy - women just need to smile and everyone will give them everything, and so on. I am not sure why they have such beliefs, I suppose they just never saw real woman.

And I actually started peaking when my ex-boyfriend became TiM and was saying that he is now "a better woman" and "women life is so easy".

We make it look easy because we are strong as fuck. They wouldn't be able to handle real women's lives.

It seems that they aren't able to handle even men's life as a gay.

Wow. We survive all sorts of things, but god forbid you misgender someone and then it's "burn the witch"
