Is this 100% the case or are there instances where SOME people who identify as genderqueer have benefitted from male privilege? This gets into what genderqueer means and whether it involves an ability to adopt a dual identity when necessary. On a non-genderqueer comparison, there are (biological male-to-woman) transgendered people who adopt modes of femininity (based on gender norms, expectations, general trends, and stereotypes) but are quick to tell men they can "remember the biological male" and whoop a man's ass if necessary.

ETA: Depending on the circumstances, this could lead to other modes of adapting to certain environments and benefitting from male privilege.
