Really, is that all you think it "has to do with"?
A chance for you to make a personal attack on my qualities as a person?
Well, let's look at a quote from the paragraph by someone else you quoted and agreed with:
So basically, anyone getting het up about it is demanding to own the unlabeled default.
And then let's look at how you reacted to the terms "cisgender" and "privilege."
And I'm so tired of "privileged" and "cisgender" being used as insults. People can't help what they are. When the focus is always on whose saying it, no one really pays attention to what's being said.
And:
And yes, I think a lot of times people use who they are as a weapon to the point where you can't even talk to anyone like a rational adult without being called a bigot.
And, when you minimize cis privilege, something that you possess, when talking to trans people about the effects of cis privilege:
You think that you are the only person that has had a hard life? What about the kids on the save the children commercials too weak to bat a fly off their eye. Or people locked up in internment camps? You aren't the end all, be all of human suffering, so grow the hell up and get over yourself. Life is hard. FOR EVERYBODY. Not just the people who are just like you. Compared to a lot of people in this world you are - PRIVILEGED.
And when you declare that your opinion, as a cis person, on whether or not something cis privilege should be elevated over a trans person, in a discussion of cis privilege:
I'm sorry. I think for myself. If I don't see it as an abuse of privilege I'm not going to pretend I do.
And where you use standard privilege-denying tactics to say that cis privilege (which you have) really isn't all that important after all because other oppressions exist:
I wouldn't deny it exist. I deny that it's all encompassing. Even if you have cisprivilege you can still have a buttload of hurdles in life. The way you use the term, it make it sound like because he's cisgender his life must be sunshine and rainbows.
And here's you saying that cis privilege isn't really a privilege for you, it's some disadvantage possessed by trans people because they're in the minority, and to view your status as privileged is laughable:
I'm sorry, it's just that the idea I'm disagreeing with you to protect some kind of privilege I have is just hilarious.
Since, the majority of people are cisgendered it's less of a privilege for me and more of a disadvantage to you. Why would I want to keep you at a disadvantage?
