I basically agree with your overall statement, but there is a problem with belief number two in that it is restricted to MtF transexuals. One of the surprising facts I have learned is that:

"In a recent survey of 250 families whose children developed symptoms of gender dysphoria during or right after puberty, Lisa Littman, a physician and professor of behavioral science at Brown University, found that over 80 percent of the youth in her sample were female at birth."

So if masculinity is as stigmatized as you suggest, it is apparently still no match for the masochistic, self-victimizing nature of the female id. Either that or penis envy really is more than just an 80s punchline.

    In general, women get preferential treatment, consistent with how a sexually dimorphic species would act. We can also discuss Islam in that context.

    I general, men are human doings, women are human beings. Men are appreciated in terms of what they can do for people, women are appreciated for being women. That is why, pretty much universally, we expect men to provide.

    In the rare cases, as in the social experiment above, people who have been on both sides of the fence universally report that people's average demeanor towards women is friendlier, towards men it's more threatening. Men do not hold open doors for other men, for example, on average. Women have men who will defend them in public from violence of the other gender.

    There are so many examples of this gender split, even among other species: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3963620/Nagged-battle-Female-monkeys-manipulate-males-fighting-shunning-don-t-involved.html
