      Vapor Weyve Retweeted May Peterson, Eldritch Monstergirl (she/her)

      The stupid "privilege in the past" argument is a standard of debt/social responsibility more or less uniquely applied to trans women It's less common to be able to shift out of a theoretically privileged position post-utero, but if I lose my eyesight tomorrow will I have "debt"?https://twitter.com/maidensblade/status/1329479634954690562 …

      May Peterson, Eldritch Monstergirl (she/her) @maidensblade
      But when we tell trans girls and TMA people that we have *male privilege in the past,* something we can’t doing anything now but lurks always in the brickwork of our background, we construct a narrative of unending debt. A thing that’s always being made up for

      And even in that situation, you would have actually had eyesight up until that point. You wouldn't have been forced to pretend you have eyesight because what you actually are is so unspeakable it wasn't possible for you to name yourself as it, the more accurate analogy.

      T*RFs when confronted about this will usually try to reduce male privilege to brute biological facts like "greater physical strength" or "can't get pregnant" or whatever

      And when you point out these aren't even CLOSE to evenly distributed among "male" and "female" people they get all mad and accuse you of quibbling over details

      Replying to @arthur_affect @onyxaminedlife @Nymphomachy

      I guess it comes back to that Atlantic article; if your father dies before your transition, there is privilege in being the AMAB offspring of a duke.

      Replying to @mssilverstein @arthur_affect @onyxaminedlife

      I mean things like duchies generally have succession battles even when there ISN'T any kind of complicated question like what to do when the heir apparent transitions; the idea that their doing so would change the outcome without question is almost certainly fictive

      Replying to @Nymphomachy @arthur_affect @onyxaminedlife

      Historically, yeah, but I'm not sure there have been too many hotly contested succession disputes in the last couple centuries, at least on a sub-national level. Some of the deposed royal houses are all het up about their own shit, though.

      Replying to @mssilverstein @Nymphomachy and

      I just find it really weird when people bring up primogeniture as evidence of AMAB privilege when the two longest reigning and arguably most powerful monarchs in global history have been cis women (Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria)

      I mean, it's definitely not a substantive argument. But those are both fairly unlikely coincidences, both in terms of lacking brothers, and then just living a really long time afterward. And I'm not sure either of them was particularly powerful.

      Queen Victoria reigned at a time when the British Empire itself was at a peak of wealth and power so she's "most powerful" in that sense but the theme of her reign was having to balance asserting her authority with the growing power of Parliament and private business interests

          So yeah "most powerful" is one of those things you have to qualify Victoria had a lot more physical wealth than Augustus Caesar, after all, who never even used a flush toilet - that's just how the passage of time and technological growth works

          But Caesar could just like order someone killed and it would just be done By Victoria's time you weren't allowed to do that anymore
