Yea, definitely agree it’s privilege with conditions, one that many trans mascs don't ever get access to at all.
And yea, Devon really came off with like there was some automatic privilege attained by taking t and saying I’m a guy. I definitely didn’t experience that and doubt many trans mascs do. That was a wild comment.
Yea, the demonization of T is very prevalent and behind some of the issues trans mascs face for sure.
Overall, I kind of got the vibe Devon was kind of biased against trans mascs and stressing privilege over oppression. At least Devon did acknowledge we experience misogyny and transphobia still but I think overall Devon was out of touch on this one, T.
Devon seems to come from a fairy tale in Devon’s experience with T and transition that people don’t really generally experience. I’m not using pronouns as Devon stopped T and is presenting more fem so no idea on pronouns now.

@Melezioh@mstdn.games yeah agreed, a bit out of touch is a good way to put it. I also think perpetuating the idea that declaring yourself as a man and starting T confers instant male privilege and treatment as male is damaging. It’s really not the reality and seeing people talk as though it is definitely made me feel in the back of my mind that maybe I’m doing it wrong or will never be able to transition “properly” if I didn’t experience that
