As far as Male ID'd getting some sort of privilege, I just don't experience that in my every day life. Sometimes I pass, but that is generally when someone isn't paying attention, but more often than not I don't. There isn't much privilege when one still has to use a restroom they aren't comfortable using, because if one used the mens their personage is in peril. There isn't much privilege when one gets ladled when in the company of others who are feminine, and there certainly isn't any privilege when it comes to not being seen as the male we are whilst having the bodies we do.

When I do pass I realize it and accept the responsibility that has been bestowed upon me, by being honest to the person I am with, who is Femme that I recognize it and will correct any affront done to her. This happens so infrequently that I still contend that *I* me myself do not suffer the privilege of man.

Do others get male privilege, yes, and some no. It isn't so pat that it can be applied to Male ID'd individuals or many Transmen. Men get it, men give it, but it is not so prevalent in my life as to apply to me.
