I have gained so many advantages in situations where I pass as a woman it's ridiculous. Every single trans woman who passes to some extent knows the huge step up (generally) in social acceptability & advantage when going from being perceived as feminine male vs woman.
Ofcourse the madfems will come in screeching I don't pass ever, or better yet none of us pass, it's actually our imaginaton, need for validation & the perceived advantages are actually because trans people are treated like royalty compared to them LMAO, cope.
One massive advantage is just how willing people are to protect & aid a woman compared to a man. I've been in several situations now where I am hassled, or seemingly in need of assistance of some kind & people (men especially) come rushing to my aid, defending me, etc.
One time I was standing outside of the cafe my boyfriend works at in essentially an alleyway in central Amsterdam at 1 AM, waiting for him to finish work. I was approached & flirted with by some drunk men on several occasions & some men in a snackbar across the street stepped in.
They called to me, having witnessed this going on a few times over the course of 5 minutes & yelled ''Miss you can come inside here & we'll look out for you!'' They made me tea, asked if I was ok, the works. This would've been VERY unlikely to happen as a man in trouble.
People are just more kind in general so long as you pass to them in that particular instance. People are constantly worried about my well being, safety & comfort, give me free things or offer aid. I can understand how women can become accustomed to it, knowing nothing else.
That's not to say there are no down sides to being perceived as female, there are, but there are also significant and immediate benefits especially compared to being an feminine male.
