Re: Privilege
Let's try some personal examples, seebs. I think you've said you've been mistaken for a woman on occasion? Does that mean if you wish to present unmistakeably as a man you have to carefully consider your dress and grooming and maybe mannerisms or tone of voice?
I have never been mistaken for a man. It doesn't matter what I wear, if my hair is up in a baseball cap, if I don't wear makeup, if I wear baggie clothes that hide my figure. I am privileged that I always present as my gender. I am glad I am not trans, because I would have a very hard time passing as male.
