Trans men as men are born and brought up with privilege as however you identify yourself, as a boy and young man you will have been viewed by society as a man. Yes lesbians can organise to exclude Trans men from women only spaces such as the Michigan Festival, but although that gives some privilege, in the overall scheme of society is a pretty small privilege to have.
