I recently was involved in a discussion with some friends. I made the comment that my identity was neither accepted by other transpeople or acknowledged as a genuine identity, and that other transpeople had more privilege than me.
The response was there was no transgender privilege, but by the silence of those around they seemed to accept the idea that my identity as a transperson was not genuine.
This may have something to do with the fact that I have mental illness and that most people including queer people find the idea of associating with someone who mentally ill something to avoided.
