what the hell is a "womyn"

And then they grow up and try to replicate that behavior with other adults they think are easy targets (or teenagers sometimes) to try and chip away at the monolith of hate and bitterness that years of torment and oppression will build in your heart, or maybe it will somehow stop the torment from continuing.

What aspects of male privilege do you believe that transgender men have?

Male privilege is not constantly looking over your shoulder because you aren’t as likely to be assaulted. Trans men have a very high chance of being sexually assaulted compared to their cisgender counterparts (107.5 per 1000 people vs 19.8 per 1000 people, according to the UCLA School of Law Williams Institute.) Trans men also face higher rates of intimate partner violence in general.

Male privilege is having zero fears about being discriminated against by employers on the basis of gender and sex. Trans men do worry about this, frequently. While it is true that trans men on average are paid more than trans women, it is important to remember that it is 70 cents vs 60 cents for every dollar a cisgender man makes. UPDATE: Turns out that the study I linked here only surveyed 7000 individuals and excluded non full time workers! This study with a much larger sample size actually found that that AFAB trans people generally have lower incomes, but that people who transition younger and stay stealth will tend to have income profiles that resemble their cisgender counterparts. Most other research about workplace discrimination against transgender and nonbinary people that I was able to find does not separate trans women and trans men as a category, and that’s assuming they even separated out nonbinary participants.

Male privilege is when you can easily access essential medical care without your gender or sex being a barrier. Trans men do not have this, for a variety of reasons. For one example, in the United States, testosterone is a schedule 3 restricted substance, like opiods. If you have ever been prescribed opioid medication or know someone who has, you know that pharmacies routinely make getting schedule 3s very difficult for patients that have prescriptions, and they are treated like addicts. Testosterone has been schedule 3 for 35 years. Sure, you could try DIY from a random gym bro who probably watches Andrew Tate. That’s a fantastic way to get assaulted or get something that’s cut with other stuff. Estrogen is currently not scheduled at all, and while DIY estrogen is not easy to obtain, it is leagues less risky than DIY testosterone.

Male privilege is having reproductive rights and autonomy. Trans men do not have this in many places across the world. In the best case this can look like insurance refusing to cover birth control after a legal sex change on official documents. At worst it can result in being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy. And getting voluntarily sterilized if you have a uterus is notoriously difficult, regardless of whether you’re a cis woman or a trans man or nonbinary.

This is not to say that trans women have privilege over trans men, that would be an absurd thing to say. This is also not to say that transmisogyny isn’t a real and significant problem, because it is. Trans men are more than capable of being transmisogynistic, as is literally everyone else.

However, recent discourse has been pretending that trans men as a class are equivalent to cisgender men, which is simply not true. You cannot have male privilege if wider society does not see you as a man, and in most cases trans men are not treated as by society. Being trans means you are treated by whichever set of gendered standards will hurt you the most in that moment, because bigotry and hypocrisy go hand in hand. We seem to all agree that this happens to trans women, but popular discourse seems to assume that trans men get all the benefits of both classes which is frankly absurd.
