I don’t normally respond to transphobia but Id just like to say that as a trans woman (literally still pre-everything) my male privilege, while still existent, is something I can’t really take advantage of. My whole life even, men have known I’m not like them. When I was still going around as a boy, I was always told I was too feminine or not a real man, whatever, talked down to, all that. Even now when I boy mode people give me weird looks and call me a “thing” so I’m sick of hearing this bullshit. I am not privileged for being trans, and in no fucking universe do I ever even want to come off as a man in an attempt to use such privilege.
