OCASIO-CORTEZ: “They’re like, and we need to — you know, they say discrimination or unfair incarceration of black men, and then they pause and the crowd cheers, and it’s like, in their mind, they’re like ‘you’re welcome’ for acknowledging it. And it’s like, okay, acknowledging racism is a really big step. It’s a really big step from where we were. But you’re right, it’s nowhere near enough and the solutions are so painful. Frankly, I find it — I find the solutions for white communities to be very painful because it’s very painful for a community to understand and have go through this — like, you can be — the idea that you can be poor and benefit from the color of your skin does not compute for a lot of people. And going through that realization is very painful or even just economically for people that were born with silver spoons. It’s very painful to admit that you had advantages and it’s just — “
GRIM: “Look what happened to Brett Kavanaugh when he was confronted. He melted down in front of the whole country.”
OCASIO-CORTEZ: “Oh my God — it literally is an identity meltdown, it’s a fundamental — “

New York must have been really really bored.
Do honest people have a privilege over dishonest people? Of course they do. But does that mean it's not deserved?
Where does it end? Smart privilege? Height privilege? Geographic privilege?
Ultimately, this is a result of their earlier efforts of trying to slam "diversity" down everyone's throat. At first, they want to say that diversity is this wonderful thing, so they tried to make everyone feel special. But now that they have identified how everyone is different, they want to now classify those differences as good if your are a minority, or bad if you are in the majority. And that's the majority of anything. Every majority has "privilege" now. White, male, christian, heterosexual, smart, employed, economically responsible, monogamous, home owner, and the list can go on. The fact is, if you've done the right thing, and not taken short cuts, those who are jealous of the results of your hard work won't compliment you for your dedication. Instead, they criticize and demean you for having the fruits of your labor.
It's a combination of jealousy and laziness that propels this concept of "privilege".
She is not supposed to make any sense. Believing (or professing to believe) six impossible things before breakfast is a requirement for Progressives.
They require you to believe them too.
This stuff is dangerous. Repeating falsehoods often enough and with confidence, you can always get some people to believe them. The greater the falsehood, the more devoted the Believers will become. The Believers become useful tools for the puppet masters who spread the falsehoods. Believers are perfectly willing to attack Unbelievers "by any means necessary" - including harassment, assault, and murder.
Ridicule is a potent countermeasure. Dismissal is unwise. Watch your back.
Lucky me, I had the privilege of being born............ Just sayin’.............
‘Everyone needs to stop using the gender word’
not really, since everybody knows what the word in general usage refers to, and the distinction is artificial, but do keep up the good work...
We are not going to refute socialist beliefs of Millennials (or any other generation) by learning their language. There are other useful reasons to keep track of the terminology, but "debate" (argument) is not one of them.
"You cannot reason a man out of something that he did not reason himself into".
Bull. Accepting their premise is a guaranteed way to lose.
For some “strange” reason, everyone’s genitals are designed for reproduction at birth.
What happened to the special gay genitals....since it’s so natural.
Or insanely stupid. Which ever way, she’s an out of control communist.

Since IrishBrigade beat me to the Latin lesson... the key point is that to justify their dysfunction, they needed to make up a word instead of calling it what it is: normal.
Now... I believe there are folks who perceive what is clinically referred to as "gender dysphoria"... but we can't fall into the delusion that it is any less of a disorder than any other kind of dysphoria (where the mind perceives an incongruity with the body).
I read it a few times and I still cannot understand what the hell she is talking about. If there is someone out there that speaks the Retard language please translate.
That is what this whole "hierarchy of 'privilege'" is about. The evolution into what you suggest is merely the left finding honesty about their present motives.
She’s a real mess ... but fortunately she’s the Democrat/Left’s mess to deal with (and eventually crush when she is no longer useful to the Democrat/Left leadership).
She will say anything that will get her in the news!

By Jove, I think you’ve got it, space bar!
This woman will one day be able to have a very comfortable life by just writing “memoirs” and making speaking engagements, even if her stint as a congress critter is short-lived and is deemed a failure by anyone with an ounce of honesty and an operating brain.
And it works. She’s garnering so much media coverage the wannabe Dem presidential candidates can’t get any traction.
