Transgender People Are Actually Angry at ‘Cisgender’ People Over Bruce Jenner’s Interview
You would think that having Bruce Jenner come out as a transgender would make them happy that he’s bringing attention and raising awareness to the transgender cause. Not these people – they think Jenner has too much “white male privilege” and they just generally hate non-transgenders. They call us “cis-genders,” and they are not happy.
so when bruce jenner wants to offload some of that white cis male privilege, i'd be glad to take it off his hands for him… oh, wait.

It’s like they just can’t be happy. It’s weird.
Scrolling through the Bruce Jenner hashtag kinda makes me uncomfortable the way cis people are latching on like idk it rubs me the wrong way

@brassiest I hear you. It's taken me about 3 minutes to be sick of hearing what cis people think about Jenner

@j_t_rex omg yes I want no more cis opinions on this tbh

@brassiest Someone I know just tweeted that "pronouns can be complex" and I want to scream. It just sounded like such an excuse.

@sarahnmoon Can cis people (including myself) just not have opinions about Jenner full stop? I mean, not actually our business.

Hey ya'll, if you're a cis person itching to write about Bruce Jenner, maybe just take a sec to interrogate the privilege of that impulse.

I'm really not looking forward to the garbage opinions on Jenner from cis people tomorrow.

I follow this community a little bit and it’s not surprising to me at all. Many transgender people harbor a lot of hatred against normally-gendered people and they seem to expend a lot of time and energy to express it.
