Well, "being privileged" is always relative to others. In the context of
this thread, the privileged are the cis-gender males. That means men who
were assigned male at birth.
Nothing to do with kings or the one in the street.
Most people have privileges compared to others. There is no binary way
to sort the privileged ones on one side and the oppressed ones on the
other side.
