there is actually a pretty straightforward answer to arguments about whether trans women experience male privilege and it is this

being in the closet is never a privilege

anyone who is in any way LGBT+ should understand this intuitively

@waitworry "you have/had male privilege" okay thats cool but how about the "privilege" of risking my life by coming out and being myself or the "privilege" of never embracing who i am and mental/emotional torture until i die

i feel like that very much outweighs any benefits i could ever possibly have by "being" male

@OrangeCatCatBoys @waitworry when cis women say shit like that they are a terf. No ifs and or buts about it. It means they view you as a male regardless of what you really are.

@Mondobizarrro @waitworry oh 100%. nothing will ever be enough for them. first it's having a vagina, and now it's having a uterus, and being "socialized" as a woman. the goalpost can only change so far until they are no longer able to whisper the quiet part.
