The “feminists” acting like you have male privilege are not radfems, they’re your trans women allies, and they’re doing it because they don’t respect you even a little bit
Actual radfems perceive trans men as females because that is your biological sex. We consider you females even though you identify as men simply because it’s accurate, not out of any sense of cruelty or gatekeeping. That is how you were raised and socialized, and that is the lens through which you will continue to be discriminated against socially. We see you as people who are also affected by misogyny, and who will suffer whenever anything is done to make females suffer in general. We know you don’t have male privilege.
Trans women ALSO perceive trans men as females, and it’s why they hate you - because they hate women. They talk down to you and abuse you in a particularly malicious way they would never treat other males, that they know they wouldn’t get away with if they talked to cis men. They do this because they know you are ACTUALLY discriminated against for being female in a way they are not and never will be.
They see you as a threat to their own paper-thin costume of femininity, and so to further push their narrative that they are just as womanly and vulnerable to misogyny as cis women, you in turn must in opposition be just as privileged and complicit in patriarchy as cis men. They insist so vehemently that you are men with male privilege so that they can position themselves as women with female victimhood.
If people start thinking you as trans men, who are in actuality females, are genuinely capable of having male privilege and existing as agents of the patriarchy, then it paves the way for people to assume that they, as males, must also be capable of having the social status of women and being legitimate victims of misogyny.
And they do all of this because they are addicted to being the most oppressed marginalized person in every room that walk into. As much as they can’t stand actual women, they have an obsession with the idea of sexualized female victimhood, and they crave it desperately.
“Trans men have male privilege” is not a hot take that anyone would have even pretended to humor ten years ago, when the trans community still at least acknowledged biological sex. This is a direct result of trans males pushing harder and harder to be seen as indistinguishable from biological women. Acting like there’s no real difference for things like sports, acting like there’s no true risk for assault in bathrooms, acting like hormones can change skeletal structure and like men can get periods for organs they don’t have.
The emperor has no clothes. They’ve been given inches and taken it miles, and now we’re expected to pretend to believe that sex based oppression isn’t real and females can have male privilege because of the way they dress and present themselves. Your “allies” are fucking you. Relentlessly. You’re their whipping girls and their scapegoats. Because they don’t respect women and they see you as women.
