People do understand that the privilege from male privilege doesn’t come from identifying as a man, right?
That’s not the thing that confers the privilege. Patriarchy grants that privilege to men based on how nearly they conform to what patriarchy says a man is and should be. That’s where the privilege comes from, not just identifying as a man.
Which is why it doesn’t imply trans men aren’t men to say they aren’t given male privilege.
All it implies (or really just says) is that trans men are not men that the patriarchy recognizes and rewards in the vast majority of cases; in other words we aren’t systemically granted male privilege. Where there are certain places you can find conditional benefit as a trans man if you are entirely stealth and try to conform to patriarchal standards, that is a precarious position to be in and one that can end in death if (or when) they’re outed as trans.
But like. The way people talk about men on here it really feels like people think that male privilege is a thing which is tied 1:1 with having the identity of man. Which only works if you dismiss the real lived experiences of trans men.
