How often would you say that you check your cis gender privilege, your privilege of not being transgender, and acknowledge that you benefit from the oppression of others?

No such thing as cisgender.

There are males and females, that's it. Question is irrelevant.

So do you deny that you benefit from the oppression of others by the fact that you are not transgender?

I've known many feminine men and a few masculine women in my life. none of these friends ever insisted I consider them the opposite sex. they were uniquely themselves, just like everybody else.

what scientific test identifies a female other than chromosomes? high heels and red nail polish? if so, as dna XX, I would fail the test. I hate wearing high heels and buff my nails.

Let me get this straight. I am supposedly privileged because I am a female and am okay with that fact? That makes me privileged?

If you are a cis gender female, do you not consider yourself privileged and dont you acknowledge that you benefit from the oppression of others? Do you at least check your privilege in the mornings?

I will have to go down through the lists of up to 100+ different gender identities before I can answer your poll. I'll get back to you next year

I'm beginning to think that there are 3: men, women and liberals. Kidding. Nope, nope, there are only 2.

And yes those who think there are 458 genders need help.
