And when you point out these aren't even CLOSE to evenly distributed among "male" and "female" people they get all mad and accuse you of quibbling over details

I guess it comes back to that Atlantic article; if your father dies before your transition, there is privilege in being the AMAB offspring of a duke.

I mean things like duchies generally have succession battles even when there ISN'T any kind of complicated question like what to do when the heir apparent transitions; the idea that their doing so would change the outcome without question is almost certainly fictive

Historically, yeah, but I'm not sure there have been too many hotly contested succession disputes in the last couple centuries, at least on a sub-national level. Some of the deposed royal houses are all het up about their own shit, though.

I just find it really weird when people bring up primogeniture as evidence of AMAB privilege when the two longest reigning and arguably most powerful monarchs in global history have been cis women (Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria)

I mean, it's definitely not a substantive argument. But those are both fairly unlikely coincidences, both in terms of lacking brothers, and then just living a really long time afterward. And I'm not sure either of them was particularly powerful.

Can you name even one trans female monarch with even a fraction of as much societal influence? And of course they’re powerful. You’re talking about governmental powers, but a king wouldn’t have more power in that sense.

Before people started talking about how he might be trans he was remembered as "not only a tyrant but incompetent, the least able ruler Rome ever had", who "abandoned himself to the grossest pleasures with ungoverned fury" and led an "unspeakably disgusting life"
