The theory assumes that trans girls are just like cis boys (or trans women are just like cis men) until transition, like the outward state of being male reflects an inner state of being a boy or man, and so a trans woman's experience of male privilege is necessarily identical to a cis man's experience of male privilege and please don't talk about passing privilege at all.
And, ah hell, another story about a trans woman that refers to her by her birth name. wtf. (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/09/30/BA37138V7V.DTL) Yes, in this instance, she's the criminal, but that's no excuse.
