Idk being a woman is harder yah, but it honestly wasn't too rough of an adjustment. I already knew what I was getting into, i knew if he sexually harassed, I knew men wouldn't listen to me, I knew I'd be objectified. And it's not like it was sudden, those things just became more common over the months until I was stealth and it plateaued. Obviously experiencing it is different than knowing g about it and it was a bit intense feeling that fear from being harassed the first time but idk you learn pretty fast what with how resocialization works physiologically.
Plus I was barely aware of my life when I was a boy, it was all a dissociative haze so I didn't really notice much of the privilege or much of anything at all

trans women don't get access to male privilege pre-transition
we also don't really get access to female privilege post-transition unless you're a gigapassoid stacy, so we lose either way

Male privilege isn't really a thing for young men. Income below ~40 is about equal, and in nearly all positions - from hiring to teachers to college admissions, cis women are openly treated preferentially, even putting aside the dating world. To the extent that it exists socially, it exists in assertiveness and intimidation, strength and respect - which is not a boon to nerdy and/or effeminate males, which incels and AGP MtFs, as well as nearly all internet posters, tend to be.
So when some of these men "jump the fence" to become women because they have garnered no gain or respect, yet still recieve penalties, blame and disadvantage, I cannot blame them - only congratulate them on their newfound boldness and victory.
TERFs will say "
S ARE INCELS IN DRESSES!" - if so, good. IF trans people are often incels that found a hole in the Liberal system to their benefit, that's a good thing.
