Living in this extraordinarily cissexist (and oppositionally sexist) world, transsexuals recognize cissexual privilege for what it is: a privilege.

It seems necessary to stress that there is a rather large gulf between the indeterminacy accorded trans subjects by the normative presumptions of cissexist culture and the self-identifications of trans people.

Indeed, many transgender men use the excuse 'oh, I was such a tomboy when I was younger' in order to validate their gender identity to a cissexist (the belief that the genders of trans people are less legitimate than those of cis gender people) society.
