Oooh. Can't wait to read it!

Am I super off base in thinking this argument is the cis/trans:male privilege version of the mixed race:white privilege conversation we had yesterday(two days in the future I guess unless Kinja is crazy)?

You are wrong. If you think a woman who pretended to be a guy had male privilege, you ignore the fleeting, provisional aspect. Did you miss the part about provisional? Kyosuke made that very clear. If you know you could be 'found out' to be fake, that is not the same thing as pure male privilege. If your privilege…

Can we also ban 'cray' and 'totes' while we're at it?

It's everywhere. So ingrained you barely notice. Miss Congeniality was playing at my buddies house in the background a few weeks ago and in the span of ten minutes A) an undercover agent has to perform as Tina Turner at a drag performance and makes a 'joke' about there not being enough therapy in the world. B) A gay…

I guess I'm lucky to be gay in this case then. I don't have that problem, we're just like, yep that's a pussy, moving on people!

Yeah, that's true. Just not for me, I suppose. :)

Yeah, after some discussion with another reply, I have come to the thought that I just don't like this entire piece.

You forgot cyber-bullying.

I agree, though I'm not sure I understand what the end goal is supposed to be?

Exactly what I thought was sweet. "Hey I have a lot of women in my life that I love and their health, sexual and otherwise is important to me because I love them"

Does it bother anyone else that so many of the answers are either essentially:

That is, disgustingly enough, exactly what it means. :(

"Management consultant Jo Lim says her hairstyle lacked volume and movement and she felt “stuck in a rut.” Now, she gets cat calls in the street."

HA! Nice catch. :)

Say something nasty about gays or mixed race people, I'll get in a huge fight with you where we say increasingly stupid shit to each other until we both have tons of exposure for your blog and my web development.

About the mentruation shirt I was torn. I had various thoughts about it so I let it be.

Sorry, I just can't get over this. It's just really important you realize that I am not snatching her blackness from her. You must understand mine is snatched from me too. I would never do that to another. I have a very hard time accessing my culture. I am read as white by other blacks too, you know. It's a painful…

Dude. NO ONE is snatching away her blackness anymore than anyone snatches away mine. It is snatched from us by the way we are perceived by both blacks and whites, which is no ones fault, we present white. I am freely admitting that while I am black, I benefit from white privilege. So does Maya Rudolph. There are many…

I've always been open about my heritage too, I'm just saying a lot of people read her as white immediately. Lets say you've never heard of her and you tune into SNL one night. She is often read as white. There is even another commenter here who admits they had no idea Maya Rudolph was black. To me, privilege is…
