View submission: Trans Women, Male Privilege, and the Intersectionality of Patriarchal Oppression
I referred mostly to the external privilege from being cis or straight passing. I understand the heavy toll one must bear to hide one's sexuality or gender identity. However, unless something is done to externalize it, most people will not see it, and thus treat you as cis/straight. Like I said, the benefit of being seen as cis/straight, but at a steep cost.

��unless something is done to externalize it, most people will not see it, and thus treat you as cis/straight” This is an assumption, one that is incorrect. https://drdevonprice.substack.com/p/female-socialization-is-a-transphobic[1]

Is it privilege if it kills you inside? I don't think people really get how often trans people kill themselves when they stay in the closet.

But it isn't a privilege if there's a steep cost to it...
Like in what world do you have to pay for a privilege?
