I wrote this elsewhere as part of a conversation, in response to a question about trans men and male privilege. Specifically, in response to someone suggesting that trans men do not receive male privilege because they are apparently socialized as girls and trained to be women. With that in mind, a lot of this is really an answer to those comments.

Also, I'm throwing in a link to little light's Fair and an article on sexism and trans people relating to Dr. Joan Roughgarden's and Dr. Ben Barres' experiences with transition, male privilege, and sexism.
