Revisiting ‘the fallacy of cis privilege, again.’
I’ve noticed that TERFs tend to lie. Like, a lot. As in, metric tons of BS. TERFs far and wide are currently gnashing their collective teeth over the reality that their hate-fest conference (#RadFem2013) was booted from its venue for the second year in a row. Instead of being an emotional adult about their situation, they instead (of course) chose to construct a narrative wherein their bad behavior had nothing to do with their eviction; instead, they’re victims of a conspiracy. In other words, they all chosen to collectively lie about what happened. I recently saw this TERF tweet about the ‘fallacy of cis privilege’ and thought I’d check out. The tweet linked to an archive.org post which opines about the non-existence of cis privilege: “Being radfem means you spend 80% of your time repeating yourself for drive-by commenters” web.archive.org/web/2010083122… But not at #radfem2013! — I disgust me (@umlolidunno) April

Why this article may matter
Community significance
“Revisiting ‘the fallacy of cis privilege, again.’” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to transgender identity and history, while also engaging law and civil rights. Such accounts can document how an issue was understood and experienced from within the period or community being discussed.
Historical significance
The article may have historical value because it explicitly interprets or preserves material concerning transgender identity and history. Published in 2013 by Transadvocate.com, it can be read both for the history it describes and as evidence of how law and civil rights was framed at that moment.
Policy significance
The article’s strongest policy connection is civil rights and anti-discrimination and public accommodations and facilities. It links that institutional frame to transgender identity and history and law and civil rights, making it potentially useful for tracing how an argument moves from description or history into law, regulation, administration, or public practice.
