If you have been around the feminist sphere long enough to know what “cisgender” means, you’ve probably been around long enough to hear the phrase “cis privilege.”
There are many fantastic blog posts made by some brilliant women who unpack problems with the term cisgender and the concept of cis privilege. Throughout my writing in this blog, I’ll discuss and drool over some of them from time to time.
Started ruminating on the idea of "privilege" as a form of narcissistic guilt/all-purpose silencer when this article came out: http://www.leftfootforward.org/2013/01/comment-on-feminism-and-the-suzanne-moore-controversy/ and today I found this. An important read.

Thank you for reblogging this. It’s a tremendous RELIEF to see the feminist-silencing tendencies of the trans community pointed out.

I was fascinated to see those “privileges” deconstructed and revealed to be, mostly, male privilege.
