Privilege
1. It is unlikely that I will be ostracized by my family and friends, fired
from my job, evicted from my home, given substandard medical care,
suffer violent or sexual abuse, ridiculed by the media, or preached
against by religious organizations simply because of my professed
identity or perceived incongruent gendered behaviors or
characteristics.
2. I can be confident that people will not call me by a different name or
use improper pronouns.

the wrong section of a facility segregated by sex.
