Issh Meghan. I sort of get where you are coming from and in some senses you are right, because the general public does not differentiate then CD and TS appear to have common goals.
However it is and will become increasingly clear to the public it is absolutely critical that an identification is made between CD and TS. Those "privileges" as you put them aren't privileges, they are necessities. Without them we are worse off than if we continued our lives in our non identified genders. They are essential to enable us to access appropriate health care, safe travel and safe environments. Without those "privileges" we can be refused access to medical services, appropriate safe environments such as womens shelters, or even incarcerated and abused by the state just for being alive.
You are right that a CD and a TS woman can be just as easily attacked. But here's the thing that CD's need to understand because this is possibly the biggest reason why TS harbour resentment towards CD's, particularly those playing dress up in the closet. We are at risk of being attacked / approached inappropriately EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF OUR LIVES. 24/7/365.
So Meghan if you want to support TS then great, I'm happy to have you covering my back. But you have to support me every moment of every day, dressed up or not, down the bar with your work mates or at home with your family. EVERY MOMENT. You do that and yeah, I'll back you up as you explain to people that hey, I'm not female but I like to express myself in a way that some people think is feminine sometimes.
