So, if you are apart of any blog site filled with (mostly,) younger folk, you have probably heard of this term. Basically, it is a huge movement to get people who are either white, straight, male, or cis (identifying with the gender you were born with) to "check their privileges* and acknowledge that they are not able to complain and they are all deserving of the hatred they get from the "non-privileged" people.
It's really, REALLY been getting on my nerves lately. I'm on Tumblr, where it's gone CRAZY. It is mostly the trans* folk who are doing it; if you are not transgendered, they will make sure to remind you that you are scum (die cis scum is pretty much their slogan) and unless you dedicate your life to their cause, then you are transphobic and deserve to be called bad things and hated, because you are privileged and are never allowed to complain.
Has anyone else seen this? It's really been bothering me lately :/
