What if: cis is a necessary term for a phenomenon, and also, cis is too often described in terms of comfort with gender roles which for cis women especially often doesn't resonate

I've been tweeting occasionally about the ways in which female socialization and being perceived as a woman for 38 yrs has been detrimental in my life as a trans man- and of course this is even more true of cis women.
Ofc, trans women are just about the most despised and vulnerable group we have. So, none of that is to say THEY have some sort of advantage from not getting that early female experience. But the advantage to cis women is significantly undercut by being, well women.

I think the problem here comes from the need both sides in this debate have to determine The True Oppressed, and to cast the remaining ppl as The Privileged.

I think, maybe more so than you, that having an understanding of the barriers placed in front of others that you didn't have in front of you can be important. But, I do agree with you that there's this competitive way of applying the concept that is widespread and stupid.
