I just read that list of “cis privileges” on Everyday Feminism, and I find it hard to believe a feminist even wrote it. 130 examples of “as a cis, you don’t have to …” and most of them are either not privileges at all for women, or literally things women are subjected to as a form of oppression and always have been.

“The curriculum at your school is more likely to center the experiences and perspectives of people who share your experience of gender”? What the actual hell? The whole education system is centered around males – we read about men in history, about male scientists, male experiences, male litterature … Women (especially women of colour, black women, marginalized women) are literally written out of history, out of humanity, and some shithead dares to write they’re privileged because no history book contains a “genderfluid” person? Hell, we are lucky if we get to read about and take part in the experiences of women subjected to the sex based oppression of women. Not much of that in the school curriculum these days. No, matter of fact is, in academia, queer theory is still the rage, despite it being regressive and misogynistic. Or maybe because it is?

“You don’t have to worry that a health center on your campus will not be able to provide you with competent care on the basis of your gender identity or expression”. Okay. Let’s take this slowly. 1) Your health has nothing to do with your “gender identity or expression”. If anything, it has to do with your biological sex, that needs to be taken into account. Your body doesn’t care you identify as non-binary. 2) It’s a well known fact women’s health is underprioritized, that women are silenced and shamed when it comes to health issues, and that women are actually not taken seriously by doctors and are sometimes denied health care on the basis of them being women, that is, female human beings. This goes for both physical and mental health care.

I could go on. “Cis privilege” isn’t real, especially not for women. “Cis privilege” is a made up concept (made up as in, it has no bearing on reality, just like gender identity politics itself) aimed at scaring women to silence and rendering fighting sex based oppression impossible. Aimed at rendering what’s actually real – that is, male privilege – invisible. It is nothing but vile.

“center the experiences and perspectives of people who share your experience of gender”

here they’re saying women have the same “experience of gender” as men which shows quite clearly they don’t even believe women are oppressed by men
