Oh yes, as a transwoman I have experienced all the disadvantages of being female and also, the disadvantages of being trans. However, I would say that for me the rewards of now presenting and passing as a woman was also a privilege. No longer am I expected to be so competitive. No longer the expectation that I should be hard or tough. I can cry in films; be horrified at the real life cruelties of this World; express my likings for such things as pretty clothes, nice materials, a sunset, even a pretty girl without some stupid, crass, lascivious remark about ‘giving her one’. I feel advantaged. I feel that I’m on a higher plane with a more balanced appraisal of the World, where a show of aggression is not an auto reaction. Yes, I know women can and sometimes need to be aggressive and women as a sex are not perfect, but I have come home from a foreign land. And yes of course, not all men have the vices above but many have. What a privilege to be a member of the disadvantaged inferior sex!
