"Here's a list of made up things that mostly only men who identify as women care about and also are not actually privileges many actual women have. But also a lot of them aren't even accurate for men who identify as women and are pretty baseless."

Here are some examples of cis privilege:

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
