No. Passing trans men will be treated as male. Otherwise, they would be non-passing.

That does not erase their years of female socialization or female biology, however.

I think this is true for passing trans women, too. They will be treated as female. But they will also have been raised and socialized as male and have male biology.

It's why I don't think trans women are men but rather trans women. Likewise, I don't think trans men are women but rather trans men. I think most of the tensions between competing rights can be resolved if we stay grounded in the material reality of what the classed identities are.
