Rule of thumb: In every oppressed group, the women are having a worse time of it. This is due to a concept called "misogyny", which intersects with everything
This is a shockingly difficult concept for trans men to grasp
It doesn't cleanly intersect with everything. Trans people are not seen by society as their actual genders. That's literally the whole problem.
If trans men were seen by society as men, and trans women as women, and nonbinary people as nonbinary, then we wouldn't be having constant issues with transphobia.
By claiming that the patriarchy acknowledges trans men and thus grants them privilege, you're essentially claiming that transphobia as a whole functionally doesn't exist, because you're erasing the entire root foundation of it. And if transphobia doesn't exist, then by extension neither are any of its intersecting terms; transmisogyny cannot be taken seriously as a concept unless transphobia exists.
In every oppressed group, people marginalized on the basis of gendered traits are having a worse time. This includes women of any gender modality, nonbinary people, genderqueer men, and intersex people.
This could be enough to fix this sentence.
But also, this is far from the only meaningful way of categorizing people from the point of marginalization, and I do wonder why it's always about gender and not something else. Like disability, access to education, citizenship, etc. Because everything intersects with everything, that's kinda what intersectionality is about. And believing that gender is a totally unique axis of marginalization that completely overshadows everything else isn't very interactional.
Like, some of you are talking as if "men vs women" is the big dividing line spanning the entire humanity, and everything else is auxiliary to it.
Not only this is false from the point of how gender works (either as a factor of social position or as an identity), it's also false from the point of what matters most in a random given situation.
This is radical feminism, not intersectional.
It's not a very good guideline. You are trying to make a statement about gender and you're immediately erasing a large amount of people whose experience with gender is marginalizing.
