what ever happened to "male privilege"? shouldn't their life be worse now that they're a woman?
It's a win-win situation.
They lose their male privilege within their immediate social group and the larger Left as a whole, but both their social group and the broader Left views male privilege as extremely odious. So, losing their male privilege is actually a benefit: they can now act like pushy, rude, 'mansplain-y' men who talk over everyone else -- essentially their pre-transition personality -- but now they'll be told how stunning and brave they are for behavior that would have gotten them yelled at before. Look at how many people are cucking to PT who had previously tried to cancel them for the Trump "transition" joke few months back. Slap on a dress and you can get away with literally *ANYTHING* with that group.
Society as a whole though? At worst (from their perspective), they're still viewed as men (albeit mentally ill men) and thus still have male privilege. At best (again, from their perspective), they're pushed into leadership positions, have their feelings catered to, promoted in their jobs, etc. even more so than cis women do, because even people who would otherwise view them as mentally ill men and ignore them are too worried about being cancelled and having their own bottom line negatively effected in the current political climate. So, ironically, the "men always get their way, have an easier time and advance far beyond what their abilities would allow for otherwise because they're treated preferentially by the patriarchy" feminist trope ends up being true, just with extra steps.
This is why (and I realize this probably isn't a popular opinion here, but hey that's why I post on KF: differing views are allowed and, at worst, will just get you laughed at for a page or two, not fired or cancelled or whatever else) I'm generally more sympathetic to troons who go through with SRS -- I'll still clown on them for cutting their dicks or tits off, don't get me wrong because that is objectively funny, but I simultaneously have a very begrudging sort of quasi-respect for people that are that committed to it; it's easy as fuck to "transition" if you're a part of the whole "SRS is transphobic, HRT is transphobic, passing is transphobic, if someone says they're a woman, even if they present as 100% male, then they're a woman uwu" group and that's why so many grifters and abusers flock to that sort of transgenderism; it's quite literally a get out of jail free card. Been such a piece of shit that no one fucks with you anymore? Come out as trans and blame your shitty past behavior on gender dysphoria and you get to hit the reset button on your social life and start over with cheat codes enabled.
