also gay men and men of color and disabled men and feminine men and poor men and other men that I can't think of right now who are all cis will also never have male privilege because they are not performing their role to the standards demanded of the patriarchy in order to be worthy of the privilage. If a man you know belongs to any kind of minority group, he might be treated with male privilege when the applicable traits are hidden, but that can and will be stripped from him upon exposure.
Saying trans men have male privilege "because they're men" is actually in itself cissexism, it is based on the assumption that because cis men have male privilege that having male privilege is a requirement to being a man. Trans men are men but that doesn't mean they're rewarded for their gender identity by society, because trans identity is never awarded under the patriarchy.
