It all comes down to the fact that people do not see trans women as actual women, they see them as men. Even the most vocal TWAW folks do not see them as women. Our eyes are trained to see males as men and females as women since we are like 2 years old and it cannot suddenly be programmed to see a male as a woman.

And because of this, people will treat tw as men, like Poppy29252 said, they will have all the male privilege that other males have.

They will most likely be paid more than a woman doing the same job on the basis of being male.

They will be listened to more than a woman on the basis of being male. (ever heard of a woman getting her idea dismissed at work, but a man repeating the same idea will be told it's a great idea. most women have an experience like this)

They will be treated with more respect.

Their feelings will get prioritized over women's. Think about all the times you've heard TRAs scream "trans women are women" and how many times have you heard them say "trans men are men" and advocate for tw in women's spaces while completely ignoring tm? It's because tw are male.

Etc. etc.

And this male privilege is these TIMs getting away with things because they can just cry "Transphobia" to try and shame people if they fall out of line or not in their favor.

I haven't seen this at my current place of work but I've heard stories of this, yes.

They will be treated with more respect.

Them not facing repercussion or disapproval when they barge into women's spaces and aren't stopped = The Male Privilege

Right, yeah I hardly ever hear them say "Transmen are men" nor advocate for them neither, the male privilege.

Right okay, this all makes sense, thanks for explaining.
