Cis and Trans (split from "Another Sweet Guy")

They're examples of cis people who have listened.
And they still have cis privilege, whether you or they like it or not.

Hmm...Can you explain exactly when this cis privilege is? I am pretty sure I know what you mean, but I'm having a little difficulty wording it and wrapping my mind around it. From what I can gather and then assume.............gah lol I just tried to word it but it came out twisted and confusing.

So how do we explain people like Dr. Bieber, Dr. Harry Benjamin, Dr. Suporn?  ....

I was diagnosed by Dr. Benjamin in 1966 and my surgery was done by Dr. Biber in 1974. Both impressed me greatly because they UNDERSTOOD, they grasped the concept and treated us accordingly.

I actually think it was easier for cis-gendered people to understand before T got amalgamated into GLBTWXYZ and sensationalists like Jerry Springer started profiting from showing the extreme end of things.

I think that's a great idea for a new thread. What is cis privilege? What examples do we see in everyday life of that?

I don't think it belong here in Jerica's thread, and I don't want to re-hash anything that was not allowed. So I think it makes sense to be its own thread, if the mods are ok with that?

I think, perlita85, that you would do well to read the Cis Privilege thread.
And to not perpetrate the very action you accuse others of.
