Privileges? Nobody just lets me have things. I have to work, and I only settle for ownership of what I have and use, no ‘permission we can take away whenever’. Privilege is a completely fucked concept used entirely for manipulation.
You and other cishet white guys have, for hundreds of years, had things that others didn’t. You’ve never been told you aren’t allowed to marry the person you love, you’ve never had to protest and riot for your right to vote, you don’t have people constantly in your DMs saying that actually, you aren’t the gender that you are
Maybe nobody just lets you have things, but also nobody tries to deny you basic rights. Less than 20 years ago, 49 out of the 50 United States did not allow same sex marriage. It wasn’t until 2015 that every state was forced to recognize its legitimacy, and the present supreme court may very likely overturn that decision and allow states to ban it again. Unless you’re less than 8 years old, don’t act like you’ve never had privileges that were denied to other people based on your sexuality.
Source??? On me being wrong about literally any of this??? Are there people out here telling cis men that they’re actually women? Did Texas recognize gay marriage in 2003? Did the supreme court not rule that states can’t ban gay marriage in 2015?

I’m not sure what dictionary you’ve been looking at, but that’s not what privilege means, and it’s clearly not how the OP was using it.
Hint: the definition of privilege is not “when I get stuff for free and nothing bad ever happens to me”.

You’re wrong about literally all of those things, and what anyone had in the past doesn’t matter today.
