Hot take: at the end of the day, privilege is a material, measurable phenomenon. We identify privilege when we identify that the privileged group, taken as a statistical block, experiences a range of particular improved outcomes versus the overall population average.
Whenever I see people talking about whether or not trans men experience male privilege, I see them talking about hypotheticals and anecdotes. "What if a trans man who has had...." or "well this one trans guy I know has said he..." Privilege isn't about a trans man or some trans men. Does the population of trans men experience this?
Pointing at individuals to argue against the disprivilege of groups is nonsensical. Alice Walton is worth US$101 billion; her fortune does not disprove the overall economic subjugation of women. Stephen Hawking was a household name, and remains easily recognizable years after his death; his prominence does not disprove the overall public marginalization and invisibility of disabled people.
When you're talking privileges, you're talking the concrete aggregate experiences of real people, not the demographic equivalent of a perfectly spherical cow in a vacuum. That's what your hypothetical fully passing trans man who has had all possible surgeries is; he has no inconvenient biology, he has no social ties to his previous life, he has no history, and he ultimately has no material reality. And somehow, he gets treated as though if he can be admitted into the patriarchal class of the privileged, then that must be the ultimate truth of the transmasculine experience.
Perfectly Passing Georg is an outlier and should not have been counted.
