View submission: Trans Women, Male Privilege, and the Intersectionality of Patriarchal Oppression
Your experiences are not representative of what my argument encapsulates. More than outline the complexity of individual human experience, you also show that just because most may follow a certain trajectory (which is still my contention), not all have to fit such a mold.

My point is that making general statements, causes suffering for those that dont fit the mold.
Most trans women I know, were so depressed living before transitioning that they were barely alive in the first place, so any potential benefit from a microscopic level of male privilege you might get if you arent acting like a typical strong "manly" cishet man are automatically negative into oblivion by the sheer catatonic state of mind they had.
So saying outright "you had this privilege" to someone that prayed every single day that they just wished to die is kinda messed up.
