trans women have male privilege in not having to deal with society's expectations of what a woman should look like
...you know so what was it every time i had to clean up a crying mess of little sister who had entirely lost it over something pretty minor that nevertheless made her feel like shit? i mean, was she asserting her alleged "male privilege" then simply by dint of being a transgirl? was i asserting my alleged passive male privilege for forgetting to have two X chromosomes? i'm curious if they have figured out how this works because as usual when reading such allegedly feminist screeds i'm not really sure how it works because GIRLS DON'T HAVE MALE PRIVILEGE.
