@revoluciana@chaosfem.tw Also, it should be said, If a trans person is not always treated with male privilege, then the male privilege itself is conditional. That is part of what makes it so cruel. It is conditional because it was designed to reinforce a system where if you step out of line you are punished. Our genocide is a symptom of it

@celestestormysea@yiff.life in what sense? I take issue with the idea that a person who is not a man can experience male privilege, especially given how much they have to sacrifice in order to get something. In any other context, we don't say a person of color experiences white privilege when they sacrifice in order to achieve or obtain a thing typically afforded to white people through white privilege. We don't say cis women experience male privilege when they sacrifice in order to achieve or obtain a thing typically afforded to men through male privilege. We don't say gay people experience straight privilege when they sacrifice in order to achieve or obtain a thing typically afforded to straight people through straight privilege-- even when the gay person is stealth or in the closet. But when it's trans women sacrificing and we happen to obtain something, we're just men experiencing male privilege.
