get-fish-or-die-trying: logical-deduction: i hate all this “cishet” hatred “they’re evil people who discriminate always” bullshit because i know one specific time where it blew up in someone’s face. i was at this lgbt group thing in my city (mostly trans* people, actually, but cis people of different sexualities as well) and this new… “A trans dude once had a temper tantrum because trans (no fucking asterisk) women called him out on his privilege this is a real problem” Yeah it is a real problem, called male entitlement. Trans men have it. Go figure. “I have the reading comprehension of a snail”. Oh, sorry, just paraphrasing what you said. Did you completely misunderstand the story? A man and a woman disagreed on an issue relating to trans people (something that SPOILERS happens in real life. No one is going to agree with 100% of what another person says). The man was jumped on for disagreeing with the woman and it was assumed that he was cisgender. He was forced to out himself to get people to stop attacking him and he left, never getting any help for what he was actually there for (questioning his sexuality). Trans women are not always right. They are human beings, and like all human beings they can be disagreed with, argued with, great people, or fucked-up pieces of shit (making no assumptions on the trans woman in question). This has nothing to do with “male entitlement” or some bullshit, this has to do with a person being attacked because they were assumed to be cisgender. And that is wrong.



Just to make sure that I understand this….

(Trans)Men undergo transition from female to male “status” and automatically receive privilege from that choice. Therefore, one can conclude several things from this: 1) they recognize the change in privilege, 2) that change is a primary motivator in choosing to transition, 3) they transition knowing that their “status” will ultimately benefit them because of that change.

Trans(Women) undergo transition from male to female knowing the same things — however, they are in reverse: i.e. they will lose privilege and move into a “status” that suffers from Oppression™.

Given this, wtf would someone ever choose to be recognized as a Transwoman?

This flies in the face of all reason especially given that there seem to be far more Transwomen than Transmen — more persons are choosing to live under Oppression™ than continue in the lap of Privilege™.

I would make comments about suspecting that Tumbrlina Tranwomen tend to operate (as a group) as least 2 std deviations below average, but that would be showing my Ableism™ [/sarcasm].
