The Cis-Het Privilege Index is a satirical currency that represents the value of being a straight, cis, white, able-bodied, and educated individual in our society. It's a tongue-in-cheek way to illustrate how privilege can be used as a currency in everyday life.
Cis-Het Privilege Index (CHPI) is a valuable resource for those who want to convert their privilege into tangible benefits. For example, a person with high CHPI can trade it for:
- A guaranteed seat at a popular restaurant, even on Friday nights.
- A free upgrade to first class on most airlines.
- A 20% discount at most high-end stores.
- A personal shopping assistant who knows exactly what you need.
However, be aware that CHPI has a few drawbacks: it's not transferable, it's not exchangeable for other forms of privilege, and it can be revoked at any time. But hey, at least you'll have a fancy currency to show for it!
