Can anyone suggest a good male privilege checklist?
I don't mean the one at Alas, A Blog... but an actually comprehensive one that's at least as good as Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack.

I assume any cis person I don't know is a transphobic asshole. It gives me more opportunities for pleasant surprise.
I don't even read comments in articles about trans people. The people who post them are evil.

I can't help but look.
And click thumbs-down on every single evil one.
Maybe I should follow your advice.

I usually assign them into provisional "likely asshole" and "likely well-meaning but ignorant" groups.

I used to do that, but I'm less forgiving now.
OTOH, it's pretty easy to get out of the "transphobic asshole" category!

I mean, I don't treat people like they're assholes, I just
expect
it, and am pleasantly surprised when wrong.
