Questions -
Part A -
1. What are the myriad ways that cisgender people benefit from cisgender privilege, and how are those benefits related to the costs transgender people pay?
2. How does one bring up issues of power, oppression, and privilege in the context of social and recreational groups whose primary aims are not political or educational?
3. How often does the issue of privilege get raised in communities in which you participate that are organized around some aspect of your identity that is marginalized-both privilege that corresponds to the marginalization the group experiences and privilege that some (many?) in your marginalized community might embody?
4. Who is responsible for ensuring that organizations and communities are inclusive across cultural axes? How do you incorporate marginalized voices into community decision-making without relying on those who are marginalized to educate everyone? What is the role of policy in changing organizational culture?
5. On what cultural axes of differences do people in your marginalized community get unjustly ranked? How do you make those within-group differences and their connected consequences visible?
6. How do you talk about differences with your friends and colleagues who do not share your marginalized or privileged identity? When is it appropriate? When is it not?
7. How has the increase in prevalence of news and media on transgender issues (e.g., Caitlyn Jenner, antitransgender bathroom bills) influenced the openness and willingness of people in your community to discuss and grapple with transphobia and cisgender privilege?
Part B -
1. In what way(s) are you privileged by your sexual identity? In what ways are you oppressed? Discuss whether or not a nondominant status can also be a privileged status.
2. What identities do you have that are stigmatized, and how do you manage those identities personally and professionally? How does stigma management affect your belief in yourself and your professional career?
